They are good at what they do, they are hard working.
You have cast Kartik Aaryan and Nushrat Bharucha as the lead in all your films, including your new film Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety. In an interview ahead of the film’s release, Ranjan spoke about why he repeats his lead actors, the alleged misogyny in his films, growing up in Ghaziabad, and Woody Allen. He takes every opportunity to sabotage the wedding, and in the process, falls in love with her. She is supposed to be The Perfect Woman and Sonu is suspicious about it. Will Ranjan’s new comedy Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, releasing in theatres on 23 February, be more like Punchnama or Akaash Vani? Or neither? In the film, Sonu’s best friend Titu, is getting married to Sweety. But that film is also his only commercially unsuccessful one. Ranjan’s second film Akaash Vani(2013), reasonably different from the Punchnama films, gives equal importance to its male and female leads. But it also makes you wonder why the director wouldn’t bother to show the female characters as anything more than cardboard cut-outs. It’s an inspired bit which shows imagination and it has clearly resonated with many an Indian male. The monologue touches everything from Batman to the pug in the Vodafone commercial to Christopher Columbus to the bullshit fantasy of Bollywood love stories. The scene contains the essence of Pyaar Ka Punchnama 1 and 2 (the sequel came out in 2015), which are about three flatmates who struggle with the women in their lives : The Boy vs Girl story told from the boy’s point-of-view, and Ranjan’s flair and ability to take it to unexpected places.
It’s an angry, comical 5-minute rant by the film’s key protagonist about his annoying, manipulative girlfriend in front of his flatmate. The clip which has 2 million hits on YouTube has acquired an online afterlife of its own, even viewed by people who haven’t seen the film. Luv Ranjan’s most known piece of work is not his debut sleeper hit Pyaar Ka Punchnama(2011), but a snippet from the film.
