Whether it is selecting that perfect song for your bridal entry or a WOW solo performance or choosing the right tracks for your parents' performance, there are quite so many songs you need to select for your wedding shenanigans. It seems as though Phillauri could have gone in a lot of directions, but it took the road usually travelled.Owing to elaborate Sangeet dance performances and night-long stints on the dance floor, songs are undeniably an imperative part of Indian weddings. And as the translucent ghost (kudos to the VFX team), Anushka delivers a solid performance with a weird mix of sadness and humour. Diljit Dosanjh brings his trademark goodness to a rather bland role. Mehreen Pirzada’s helpless and hopelessly-in-love Anu is endearing. With his body language and voice modulation, Suraj Sharma nails the confused-aimless millennial and lightens the mood. The actors sweep in and carry the film, though. The invisibility of the ghost can only get so many laughs the narrative shifts between Shashi’s past and Kanan’s present seem abrupt the soulful songs are easy on the ears but strain your eyes by adding to the runtime, and most importantly, Shashi’s story (the emotional core of the film) is largely formulaic. The hilarious, exciting one-line plot develops into a two-and-a-half hour film that is full of romantic-movie tropes. Nothing more (and thankfully nothing less). The problem is, you only get what you see in the trailer.
The idea is superbly original, culturally on point and has great potential. As a result of this marriage, Shashi is bound to Kanan, who must figure out a way to take care of the unfinished business that’s causing her to linger around.Ĭonceptually, Phillauri is a winner and that much was evident from the trailer. Kanan marries a tree to ward off back luck before his wedding, and the tree turns out to be the resting place of Shashi (Anushka Sharma), who lived and loved there almost a hundred years ago.
