Let’s Get Married Review

A Missed Opportunity for an Engaging FilmThe highly anticipated crossover of the celebrated former Indian cricket captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, into the realm of film production set the stage for massive expectations. His debut film, “Let’s Get Married” (LGM), was expected to be a grand slam. However, a promising plotline gets lost amidst technical flaws and subpar execution.

Plot Overview: A Journey of Understanding

The movie quickly introduces the lead couple, Gautham (Harish Kalyan) and Meera (Ivana). After two years of romance, they plan to tie the knot. Yet, Meera’s reservations about living with Gautham’s mother post-marriage lead her to suggest a family trip. The hope? To build a better understanding between her and her future mother-in-law. But things spiral when the ulterior motive behind the trip is unveiled, thrusting Meera and Gautham’s mother into a journey of self-discovery and understanding.

The Good: A Strong Cast Stands Out

LGM’s cast is its silver lining. Harish Kalyan, Ivana, and Nadiya manage to shine, bringing moments of genuine emotion to an otherwise lackluster film. Their performances, particularly in a few isolated scenes, remind viewers of the film’s potential. Additionally, Yogi Babu’s comedic genius provides brief respite, his witty one-liners drawing chuckles, even as he candidly points out the story’s dullness.

Technical Flaws: From CGI to Cinematography

Perhaps the most glaring mistake is the film’s encounter with a poorly designed CGI tiger, a scene that feels more comical than intense. Moreover, the cinematography seems amiss. The inconsistent color grading and uncomfortable camera angles often reduce the film’s aesthetic appeal, sometimes giving it an amateurish, short film feel.

Green matte sequences, meant to immerse the audience, only distance them further. For a movie centered around a journey, it fails to visually transport its audience.

Narrative Woes: Stretched Storyline and Missed Opportunities

While the premise of a bride-to-be wanting to connect with her future mother-in-law is novel, LGM struggles to effectively develop this narrative. The film elongates a simple premise into a stretched screenplay, filled with unnecessary filler scenes. The transformation of key characters, vital to the narrative, remains largely invisible, lost amidst forced humor and an inorganic plot progression.

Music: Dual Roles, Dual Disappointments

Director Ramesh Tamilmani, in addition to helming the film, took charge of its music. Unfortunately, this dual responsibility doesn’t translate into success on either front. The music, much like the narrative, lacks the depth and resonance required for such an emotional journey.

Conclusion: A Journey Best Skipped

“Let’s Get Married” starts with promise but gets lost amidst technical blunders, an inconsistent narrative, and lost opportunities. While its cast offers moments of brilliance, the film largely disappoints. For those expecting a heartwarming romantic drama, LGM might not be the best choice. Instead, it stands as a lesson in the importance of execution, regardless of how promising the idea may be.
