Kirik Party (2016)
8/10
Perfect Throwback time!
6 February 2017
Warning: Spoilers
It is very hard to succeed in a trodden movie plot. The plot of 'boy has awesome friends in college , is good at fights , falls in love , masti with friends - but is good at heart' is not easy to pull off , unless you do a lot of 'kusuri work' AKA detailing.

Which is exactly what Rishab Shetty , Rakshit Shetty and all of their gang just did.

The movie is so incredibly detailed , you just can relate it to your B.E life very easily. To give an example , the male and female leads chat with text messages and not whatsapp! (the movie is set in 2013). Just as the norm with all Rakshit shetty movies , songs do the story telling and they are very much related. The story flows through smoothly , is tightly edited and phenomenally performed by everyone. Although the basic elements in the story remains pretty common , there are elements of self actualization that every man between 20- 26 goes through and is presented beautifully.

However there are a few missed shots : 1. Hero uses the same Samsung Galaxy S7 from 2009 to 2013 - which is very uncommon for a college student. 2. Principal's daughter is having a severe form of crush and everyone knows about it - except the principal 3. Final year version of Karna (played by rakshit shetty) looks too 'wooden' and old.

All in all , its a fantastic throwback period , and leaves you missing college days.

PS : would be 10X better if you can watch with old B.E buddies.
