Pradeep Rangwani and UV Films’ Let’s Meet (UA) is about friendship in the age of the internet.
Nikhil (Tanuj Virwani) is a television actor. Riya Sharma (Suman Rana) is a finance professional. The two meet on a social media platform, but in a bid to conceal her identity, Riya introduces herself as Priya Sharma instead of Riya Sharma. Their friendship grows but without meeting each other because the friendship develops during the Corona virus lockdown. However, they often talk to each other on video calls although Riya always wears a face mask so as to not reveal her identity. One day, an inquisitive Nikhil follows Riya/Priya to the mall as he wants to see her, but this doesn’t sit well with Riya. She, therefore, stops interacting with him. A repentant Nikhil tries to make amends for having hurt Riya’s feelings. Does he succeed? Do Nikhil and Riya/Priya meet?
Ravinder (Ricky) Sandhu and Anil B. Akki have written a story which stands on its feet because it is set in the time period when the world was dealing with the Corona virus. As such, its extraordinary backdrop doesn’t make for engaging viewing. Ravinder (Ricky) Sandhu’s screenplay is so-so and tends to get monotonous as it rests on a thin story-line. Although the ending touches the heart, the rest of the drama fails to evoke solid emotions. Ravinder (Ricky) Sandhu’s dialogues are average.
Tanuj Virwani is so-so as TV actor Nikhil. Suman Rana does an average job as Riya/Priya Sharma. Supriya Shailja lends ordinary support as Riya’s friend, Nalini. Shrashti Maheshwari hardly impresses in the role of Nikhil’s friend, Althea. Abhinav Dixit delivers a routine performance as Nikhil’s neighbour, Sandy. Vrinda provides average support as Rachna, neighbour of Nikhil. Litesh M. Pawar is okay as Nikhil’s friend, Gopu. Arti Sharma (as Riya’s friend, Disha), Anisha Tyagi (as Riya’s friend, Anahita), Ira Dua (as Riya’s friend, Kajal), Neha Gupta (as Nikhil’s mother) and the rest do as desired.
Ravinder (Ricky) Sandhu’s direction is nothing to shout about. His narration doesn’t quite engage the viewers, also because the drama is not very exciting. Music (by Prini Siddhant Madhav and Rohan-Rohan) is so-so. Lyrics (by Prini Siddhant Madhav and Naveen Tyagi) are alright. Pradeep Panchal’s choreography is functional. Rohan-Rohan’s background music is average. Anil B. Akki’s camerawork is ordinary. Anuprita Ahale’s production designing, and Tathagata Hazra and Abdul Shaikh’s art direction are alright. Anshul Gupta’s editing should’ve been sharper.
On the whole, Let’s Meet is too dull to make any impact on the turnstiles.
Released on 7-2-’25 at Metro Inox (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay by UV Films. Publicity & opening: poor. …….Also released all over. Opening was weak everywhere.
