I got a strange sense of deja vu as I settled in to watch Kahan Shuru Kahan Khatam. Progressive parents, a funny/nosy relative, a cool dadi who is social media-savvy, confusion ensues, and a happy ending with a random message thrown if. If I took a shot every time I was able to guess where I have seen all this before this film, I'd be very drunk.
(Also read: OTT releases to watch this week: The Penguin, Agatha All Along, Inside Out 2 and more ) It doesn’t come as a surprise that one of the co producers and writer of KSKK is Laxman Utekar, whose body of work has been dominated by heartland-set films-- Luka Chuppi , Mimi, Zara Hatke Zara Bachke. While there’s nothing wrong with such a setting, where will this obsession end? The same old plot This one revolves around Meera (Dhvani Bhanushali in her acting debut) who is running away from her own wedding. The reason? She wasn’t asked by her father if she wants to get married.
Yes, it’s that a wafer-thin conflict. She asserts that she would have anyway given her yes- but she needed to have been asked. Crashing her wedding is Krish (Ashim Gulati), chased by Meera's relatives.
Confusion ensues, and he ends up running away along with Meera. The first half is a snoozefest with jokes falling flat. The writers here thought naming two characters Gautam and Gambhir would be so smart.
Thankfully, the intermission comes up within 40 mins, and you begin thinking ‘yeh kab Khatam hoga?’ Was the title a challenge thrown to the viewer.
