This film is quite unknown to many people. But, it got it's own fanbase later on. I really did not know about the film until the award season came. Long story short when social media was erupting on Ananya Pandey for winning the Filmfare Best Debut Award they pointed out Shivallika Oberoi(the lead actress of this film) to be the potential winner. So, I took a look at the trailer of the film which was quite interesting. It got its digital release on Zee5 and I saw it today. How did the film fare out? Let's find out.
Yeh Saali Aashiqui is a 2019 romantic thriller drama directed by Cherag Ruparel starring debutants Vardhan Puri, the grandson of legendary actor Amrish Puri and Shivalleka Oberoi in lead roles. The story revolves around Sahil Mehra who falls in love with Mitti Deora. After that, the film goes haywire and that you have to watch on screen.
The screenplay of the film is amazing. It consists of all the ingredients that a perfect thriller should have. Good buildup, good twists and overall a solid 2 hours of tension. But, there is also this unpredictability they added to this film that really elevates the twists. The film begins in a hotel management institute and ends at a police station while going through mental asylums, chainsaws and cheating. Apart from the thrills, I really want to thank the filmmakers to address the issue of men being unsafe in this country. The laws in favour of women have been misused by some crazy women to corner some innocent men. This issue is addressed not realistically but dramatically. The characterisation of the 2 lead characters is also really good. They are similar to the Judgemental Hai Kya leads but have some strong foundations given unlike the other one where they are just mental. Overall, it is a damn good screenplay.
The acting here is brilliant. Vardhan Puri in his debut performance hits the ball out of the park. That can be because he also co-wrote the film. He shines as Surya and Sahil Mehra showing the innocence and anger of youth and the psychotic acting with ease. He is a real prospect to the industry. Shivallika Oberoi gets a damn challenging role and she pulls it out really well. She gets to dominate the lead hero in occasions of the film. Playing both the lead heroine and villian is tough but she proves everybody that she should have won that Filmfare award and many other awards. Other actors have less screentime in the film and they act accordingly.
The technical aspects of the film are very good. The editing here is crisp.The perfect kind of editing for a perfect thriller. The music is good. It is apt for the movie. Even the background score is excellent keeping up with the pace of the film. All other technical aspects are pretty good but they are standard.
Overall, this film is a treat to watch. A perfect thriller in a difficult time situation. It tackles the social subject well and is an excellent debut for both the actors. Check this film on Zee5 and enjoy Yeh Saali Aashiqui.
