[Mirta Dozar]

AfterZara Hatke Zara Bachke, Satyaprem Ki Katha is yet another romantic drama that pushes a progressive thought in what appears like a dated envelope in the first half. It takes time to get used to the world of Satyaprem (Kartik Aaryan) because, for a while, the film feels more like a promotion video of all things Gujarati and a jewellery brand but once the social drama finds its voice, this Katha becomes worth listening to.

After cricket, it seems the headquarter of Bollywood is also inching towards Ahmedabad. For a long, Punjab and Punjabi have been the flavour of Hindi films. Here the romance is told in Gujarati mode. The good thing is while the makers nod to khakra, farsan, and the good old Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, they also take a dig at the so-called success of prohibition in the dry state. The showcase of local fabrics provides a novel texture to the costumes and the relatable characters in the traditional society provide the necessary heft to the storytelling.

Writer Karan Shrikant Sharma has drawn lively characters from the middle-class milieu but they indulge in a lot of posturing before coming to the point. And the point is made with a bleeding pen. However, in between, once the dust settles, Sharma etches an endearing relationship between two troubled souls that is deeper than throwaway adjectives like cute and beautiful. Both are seeking social sanction. An LLB-fail, Satyaprem is being judged by his joblessness. Katha is suffering because of a botched-up relationship. As they nurse each other, we get some tender moments of true love. Unfortunately, the five music composers could not complement the writing with their melodies.

They are ably supported by Gajraj Rao who gets some of the best lines to perform. In fact, the supporting cast headlined by popular Gujarati stage and film actor Siddharth Randeria and the ever-reliable Supriya Pathak and Shikha Talsania provides a credible backdrop. One more draft and a bit more lilt would have made this Katha absolutely riveting. In the present form, after spending around 140 minutes one could say: and thereby hangs message for boys and girls!
