Think about the concept of love gurus and the first film that comes to our mind is Basu Chatterjee’s Chhoti Si Baat (1975), which starred Ashok Kumar, Amol Palekar and Vidya Sinha. Now, it is Ashok Saraf’s turn to turn love guru in director Pravin Raja Karale’s Hrudayat Something Something.
The film will see him help the character of Aniket Vishwasrao who has fallen in love with someone. The reason why you are reminded of Chhoti Si Baat is because Saraf reprimands the young man for not being strong enough to be a boyfriend. But here is a twist, the veteran actor’s character finds out that Vishwasrao is dating another girl simultaneously.
The teaser gives an idea that the story has a lot of twists, including a crime angle.
However, the teaser isn’t impressive. It is a case of adding too many things in a small capsule. It’s a badly edited one where they have added plenty of incidents, that divert your attention from the important bits. The flow is missing too.
This also makes it difficult to judge any of the performances. But being a seasoned veteran, Saraf shows promise as an entertaining love guru.
Also starring Sneha Chavan and Priyanka Yadav, Hrudayat Something Something will be released on 5 October.
