Zee Studios, Rancorp Media, Bhansali Productions and Ravi Udyawar Films’ Do Deewane Seher Mein (UA) is the love story of a supremely confident girl and a low-on-self-confidence guy.
Roshni Shrivastav (Mrunal Thakur) has just had a heartbreak. Her parents are now trying to get a suitable groom for her. And so Roshni keeps meeting guys who are prospective grooms. One such marriage proposal sees Roshni meeting Shashank Sharma (Siddhant Chaturvedi). While Roshni is a very confident working girl, Shashank has a problem with pronouncing words with ‘sh’ in them and hence is very low on self-confidence. He works in a corporate set-up.
At first, Roshni rejects him but the persevering Shashank doesn’t give up because he finds her fascinating. Gradually, Roshni gives in. However, their love story has its share of problems. What happens ultimately? Do the two unite in matrimony?
Abhiruchi Chand has written a story which had the germs to be a heartwarming tale of love and romance. But Abhiruchi Chand’s screenplay is so scattered and repetitive that it just doesn’t add up to make an engaging drama. The concept of arranged marriage looks a little out of place if only because Roshni is not shown to be the type who’d listen to her parents and settle for a boy selected by them. The track of Roshni’s sister and her marriage seems forced into the drama. While some light moments are entertaining, there are others which don’t land as smoothly as they ought to have landed. Also, the drama looks so stretched that the viewers tend to get bored at several points. Furthermore, the audience never really feel the pain whenever the two lovers appear to be apart. Maybe, it is because the viewers understand early on that the separations and misunderstandings are only mandatory obstacles before the final meeting of hearts. Abhiruchi Chand’s dialogues are good at places but should’ve been more weighty.
Siddhant Chaturvedi has done well in the role of Shashank Sharma. His hairstyle needed to be better. Mrunal Thakur is very natural as Roshni Shrivastav. Viraj Ghelani is natural and entertaining as Shashank’s colleague. Joy Sengupta is adequate as Roshni’s father. Ayesha Raza makes her mark as Roshni’s mother. Sandeepa Dhar leaves a fine impressoin as Roshni’s sister, Naina. Master Inesh Kotian is cute and confident as Roshni’s brother, Bittu. Ila Arun lends good support as Roshni’s grandmother, but it must be added that she doesn’t have a substantive role. Deepraj Rana impresses as Shashank’s father. Mona Ambegaonkar lends fine support as Shashank’s mother. Achint Kaur has her moments as Roshni’s overbearing boss, Mandy. Naveen Kaushik is okay as Shashank’s boss. Master Trishaan Shah (as young Shashank) and the others do as desired.
Ravi Udyawar’s direction is average. What’s more, he is greatly handicapped by a weak script. Music (Shreyas Puranik, Hesham Abdul Wahab and White Noise Collectives) is fairly nice but the absence of chartbusters is felt. Tera mera saath (White Noise Collectives; lyrics by Priya Saraiya), the title track (Shreyas Puranik; lyrics by Kumaar), Aasmaan aasmaan (Hesham Abdul Wahab; lyrics by Abhiruchi Chand) and Wajah bewajah (Shreyas Puranik; lyrics by Kumaar) are the better songs. Lyrics (Kumaar, Abhiruchi Chand and Priya Saraiya) are so-so. Song picturisations (by Rahul Shetty and Kruti Mahesh) are average. Anurag Saikia’s background music is fairly nice. Kaushal Shah’s cinematography is of a fine standard. Yasin Shaikh’s action and stunts are functional. Karan Gupta’s production designing, and Rahul Bhatia’s art direction are alright. Monisha Baldawa’s editing is reasonably sharp.
On the whole, Do Deewane Seher Mein is a non-starter and has dim chances of a pick-up because it lacks in merits for the big screen.
Released on 20-2-’26 at Inox (daily 5 shows) and other cinemas of Bombay thru PEN Marudhar Cine Entertainment. Publicity: dull. Opening: poor. …….Also released all over. Opening was weak everywhere.
