Critic Review
Romantic (2021)Set in Goa, the story begins with the voiceover of a police officer Ramya Gowarikar (Ramya Krishna), who narrates the intense and greatest love she had witnessed in her stint there.
Vasco Da Gama (Akash Puri), whose police officer’s father was killed on duty, has only one aim – to earn big money so that he can run a charity foundation for his grandmother Mary (Rama Prabha). He quickly joins the gang of smugglers.
When his boss gets killed in a shootout, Vasco Da Gama becomes rich, but the police are chasing him. Meanwhile, the young boy is floored by the irresistible local beauty Monica (Ketika Sharma).
Ramya Gowarikar arrests Vasco Da Gama in a case, and he gets a life sentence in that case. What will happen to his love story with Monica?.
Puri Jagannath for long has been trying to establish his son Akash Puri as a hero. After failing to establish him as a lover boy in films like Mehbooba, he decided to thrust him into the masses with youthful mass entertainer Romantic. However routine story, screenplay, narration and missing romantic formula but forced erotic and gangster drama in the name of romance misfired. Considering all these elements,.
In an overview, Romantic is a youthful dark romantic flick that has enough elements such as romance and good songs to attract the targetted youth audience. On the flip side, lack of novelty in the story and screenplay makes the film a dull watch for general audience..
Romantic is a like a comforting bowl of warm soup if you’ve missed Puri in his element, even if he’s not the one who directed this film. It’s like a thorn on your side if you wish new filmmakers like Anil would move beyond these tried-and-tested tropes to tell fresh and unique stories. Make your choice.
All said, “Romantic” is a true-blue Puri Jagannadh’s film that doesn’t rely on logic or proper story, but the characterization of the hero and heroine romance. It may appeal to a mass audience, but the film is not at all engrossing..
On the whole, Romantic is an engaging drama. The film has Puri Jagannadh’s signature written all over. Akash Puri’s confident performance and newbie Ketika Sharma’s glamor and performance and Sunil Kashyap’s songs are the main highlights of this otherwise regular love story set in a drug mafia milieu. You can watch Romantic this weekend, but we recommend you to keep your expectations in check..
