Pyaar Ka Punchnama Movie Reviews

Love, ishq, pyaar, mohabbat is in the air. And Bollywood seems enthralled by it. LUV KA THE END and LOVE U... MR. KALAKAAR! have released, PYAAR KA PUNCHNAMA opens this Friday, while KUCCH LUV JAISAA, A STRANGE LOVE STORY and LOVE EXPRESS are slated for release in the coming weeks. In my career spanning three decades, I have never witnessed so many movies with similar sounding titles releasing in such a short span

While cleaning up after a party with friends, the boy remarks to his live-in girlfriend "Itne dino ke baad maza aaya, hai na?" Harmless as it may sound, the girl takes it as a personal insult and walks off in a huff, leaving the boy clueless (I know I've found myself in similar situations.) It's only a start, however. The girls in the film bully their boyfriends to a point of no-return, sucking every ounce of self-respect from their souls. You know those

If this film had its way, they'd make the entire unlucky-in-love male population a woman-hater club. Luckily for us, one man's woes make for another's chuckles. That said, Pyar Ka Punchnama has a little of everything for everyone. Liquid (Sharma), Rajjo (Tiwari) and Chaudhary (Rayo) are roommates, but they might as well be brothers from different mothers. The three are the sort you'd run into, in every metro. A motley group that might as well be

The film has an interesting premise. It tries to investigate the basic incompatibility of the yin and the yang through a set of urban yuppies who try to build and unbuild relationships in the harsh metropolis. The gender bias and miscomprehensions have an interesting twist as the three young bachelors give up their carefree camaraderie to cope with the unending demands of their girlfriends. But so far, so good. The film has two major problems

Three young guys, shacking up in a pad, looking for some action. Old theme. What makes `Pyaar Ka Punchnama’ cracklingly fresh is in the way it makes this trio look and sound instantly, and hilariously, believable. The flat that they live in is bachelor haven. Everything is a comforting mess. Clothes and dishes lie unattended ; much love is lavished upon shiny laptops and other electronic devices on which violent games can be played.

He leaves office early, so he can drop her to the beauty parlour. While she's in, he shops at the mall for her - she needs stuff, because she's traveling. He drops her off then to the airport, comes back home to finish off all her pending stuff from work. Just so the girl can be with her boyfriend, while she's away! He's only a concerned colleague from office, a motor-mouth who rattles at the speed of thought. None of his talk is smooth

Pyaar Ka Punchnama has some laughs, little pyaar and no punch. Women are emotionally manipulative, unreasonably demanding, derive sadistic pleasure when their man is in trouble and are always the party to be blamed for a bad relationship. Pyaar Ka Punchnama — all 160 minutes of it — screams that gender skew out loud. If Luv Ka The End, two Fridays ago, had trained all its angst against the men, then Pyaar ka Punchnama aims all its punches

Women are bitches and men are dogs. That's the unapologetic tagline of this adult comedy featuring a bunch of newcomers you feel you know but cannot recognise. There isn't much sexual content in this film; just jokes and jibes at sex. So don't go looking for anything provocative. First-time director Luv Ranjan sticks to the tried and tested formula of friends, fun and Goa [ Images ] weekends in Pyaar Ka Punchnama. The first half hour or so of the film

It seems anti-rom-coms are taking Bollywood by storm. LUV KA THE END released a few days back and this week it's PYAAR KA PUNCHNAMA. We're sure it's tag line - Come...fall out of love, won't make Aditya Chopra, Karan Johar and the likes very happy. First things first. The promos of PYAAR KA PUNCHNAMA gave the impression that it's a sex comedy. But it isn't. It's about relationships. While watching the film, one is also reminded of

Pyaar Ka Punchnama, written and directed by debutant Luv Ranjan, starts out with some promise, echoing Dil Chahta Hai with a laid-back, buddy vibe but that evaporates as soon as the women appear. Played by Nushrat Bharucha, Sonali Sehgal and Ishitta Sharma, these women are uniformly intolerable. I didn’t want to spend five minutes with them so I couldn’t understand why these men devote so much time and energy to making them happy.

Disguised as a light-hearted comedy, 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama' is such a misogynistic film that you can't help but wonder if it was made by someone who's had his heart brutally stamped on by a woman. The plot is centred on three male roommates in Delhi who can't stop moaning about their dull jobs and boring lives. When each of them falls in love, things begin to look up. But director Luv Ranjan offers female leads that are such scheming, insensitive shrews
