People who don't eat non-veg on a few days of the
week are forced to eat only veg on those days
likewise, on a dry day a cocktail lover can
go for a mocktail and it'll do just fine.
Hello, I'm Kairam Vaashi and this week's
film is Krishna's 'Love Mocktail'.
On his way to Udupi, hero Adhi agrees to share the
ride with a college girl whose car's broken down
and in this journey shares his love stories.
While majority of this film plays to the
gallery, a few scenes do seem very real.
This is a coming-of-age film with love episodes
in all three phases of the hero's life.
Although the film's filled with cliche bits, it still works
thanks to the innocence of hero and heroine characters.
This is not a crafty film and has
its share of continuity mistakes
and inconsistencies, however as the film is
'real' in many places, we tend to overlook.
A few incidents may seem unbelievable and too
conincidental, but life is such, isn't it?
In a well written scene this film shows how
impulsive we are while making decisions.
The comedy in this film is clean
but in a couple of instances where
physicality is used to generate laughter
which could have been certainly avoided.
But at the same time, there's a cute reasoning for why Adhi
gets that close to this girl he found stranded on the road.
Krishna and Milana have literally given their
all to this film and that's praise-worthy.
Raghu Dixit's guitar heavy songs and
rerecording does this film so more good.
'Love you chinna' reminds you of 'Dil toh baccha hai ji',
but that's fine, a man who's received so much
love will always remain a 'baccha' at heart.
Summing up, if you've decided not to have alcohol this weekend,
yet your throat's itching, then this mocktail you can...
