Ajay Deekshit (Varun Dhawan) is a history teacher at a school in Lucknow. He has built a fake image with lies and is proud of living his life that way. He is married to Nisha (Janhvi Kapoor), who is too good for him, infact better than him. She suffers from Epilepsy, which Ajay is worried would dent his image. He is ashamed to take her out or even leading a life together. He is least interested in his job as a teacher as well. What happens when his marital life and job, both are tested? How his agenda to use an Europe trip to save his image eventually change him to save what truly matters, forms rest of the story.
Honestly, my mom instantly thanked me for making her watch this movie, such was the impact. I wouldn't say they trivialized the Nazi atrocity or even made the comparisons lightly. I do agree, for the person Ajju Bhai was, this felt a bit too extreme to be used to make him realize his mistakes. Other than that, the film was truly well made and it totally worked for me. Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor performed really well and they deserve the praise. The screenplay as it moved from Paris to Normandy to Berlin and Auschwitz, the atrocious history of World War 2 was cleverly incorporated.
The Amsterdam episode was good too and delivered the humor as well with the stereotypical portrayal of the Gujjus. There aren't too many songs to distract as the main focus is on using the rough historical moments to mend the relationship. So kudos to Nitesh Tiwari to sticking to what he believed as the end result was indeed that good. Aakhir mein Mahaul bhi achcha bana aur result bhi nikla.
Definitely recommended.
