Shiddat:A tale of crazy intense love
Shiddat:Streaming on Disney Hotstar
There's something about Shiddat!!
A tale of crazy intense love.
A man,inspired by another man's philosophy of love whose wedding he had gate crashed,embarks on a crazy,perilous journey in pursuit of wooing his lady love,a girl who is not even sure of her feelings for him and is about to get married to someone else.
And in this track of single minded pursuit,he again comes accross the man who had inspired him few years back.But this time around it is he who inspires his idol to salvage his marriage which is on the verge of falling apart.
Sunny Kaushal is bang on as Jaggi the small town lad.Natural and effortless,same qualities as big brother Vicky Kaushal albeit both different in approach and performances.The body language and expression,over enthusiastic,high strung emotions and the "chhichhorapanti".In contrast is Mohit Raina's Gautam. Serious,Sophisticated Indian Foreign Service Officer.The film works mainly on the bonding and rapport between the two.
In comparison the female characters seem a little short changed though both perform well.
Diana Penty could have done with a bit more better defined part and screen time as Mohit Raina's wife Ira.
While Radhika Madan as Kartika the object of affection that leads Jaggi to traverse two continents,does fairly well with expression of unsurety and confusion of a girl baffeled by the attention of a man she does not know so well and whom she wants to dismiss as a pleasant meeting and fling as she is already engaged to a man of her parents choice.
The movie does have some over the top moments and some very 90s corny dialogues and scenes too but keeping in tune with the mood of the story and characters they seem to go with the flow.
Shiddat makes for an entertaining watch if one is not on the lookout for pseudo intellectual or "realistic" stuff.
Reminds me of the 90s movies we used to enjoy watching.
