Moon House Productions’ Kahani Rubber Band Ki (UA) is about condoms. Aakash (Manish Raisinghan) is married to Kavya (Avika Gor). In spite of Aakash using condoms, Kavya gets pregnant. This leads to suspicion in Aakash’s mind that she has probably been impregnated by her very close friend, Rohan (Romil Chaudhary). A disgusted Kavya returns to her maternal home when Aakash accuses her of infidelity. However, Aakash realises one day that his condom must’ve been faulty, because of which it may not have served its purpose of avoiding pregnancy. That’s when Aakash drags the condom manufacturing company to court. Arguing his case is close friend Nanno (Pratik Gandhi). The defence lawyer is advocate Karuna Razdan (Aroona Irani). Who wins the court case?
Sarika Sanjot has written a purposeful story but it will not find much favour with the audience because it moves on a single track and is also devoid of entertainment value. Her screenplay, with additional screenplay by B.S. Nirmal Raj, is not very exciting or engaging. The only worthwhile purpose of the screenplay is that it ends with a message. However, the drama fails to involve the audience or give them the feeling that they are a part of it. Dialogues (Sarika Sanjot and B.S. Nirmal Raj) are alright.
Manish Raisinghan does quite well as Aakash. Avika Gor is okay in the role of Kavya. Pratik Gandhi lends fine support as advocate Nanno. Aroon Irani is efficient as advocate Karuna Razdan. Rajesh Jais (as Aakash’s father, Suryakant), Meenakshi Sethi (as Aakash’s mother), Hemang Dave (as Kavya’s father), Kanwarjit Paintal (as the judge), Gaurav Gera (as Dr. Udit Narayan), Amit Singh Thakur (as Nanno’s father) and Romil Chaudhary (as Rohan) provide reasonable support. Others fit the bill.
Sarika Sanjot’s direction is ordinary. Music (Meet Bros. and Anup Bhat) is fair. Thaakur’s lyrics are alright. Anup Bhat’s background music is appealing. Faroukh Mistry’s camerawork is of a good standard. Sanjay Sankla does a nice job of the editing.
On the whole, Kahani Rubber Band Ki will go largely unnoticed.
Released on 14-10-’22 at Metro Inox (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay thru PVR Pictures Ltd. Publicity & opening: poor. …….Also released all over. Opening was very weak everywhere.
