Phillauri
So Phillauri is Anshai Lal’s debut movie starring Diljit Dosanjh and Anushka Sharma So the movie traces the incidents around the marriage of KAnasultann(Suraj Sharma) with his childhood love, Anu(Mehreen Pirzada). The twist is that KAnasultann marries a tree as he is a “manglik” and the ghost of Shashi(Anushka) is bound to him as she is the ghost on the tree. The film narrates two parallel love stories – that of KAnasultann and of Shashi.
However, there is one aspect of the film that is extremely impressive, set in undivided Punjab in the pre-Independence era Anushka-Diljit’s love story is quite unusual. While Diljit plays a “bhaant, kanjar, piyakkad” singer, Anushka is the obedient sister of a doctor who believes that singing and dancing is not for “respected people”.
To be honest guys this is a really messed up storyline. Despite a fresh idea, Phillauri is a loosely-written film that fails to engross the audience. Most of the first half entertains in bits – only at times when Anushka makes you smile and cry.
The VFX and the special effects are fantastic and wonderfully used. But the story is just a let down. The acting in this movie is superb. Anushka sharma is great in this movie and is a really underrated actor according to me. On the other hand Diljit Dosanjh is also great, but choosing both of them for a romantic movie against each other was just a bad choice! Overall guys I thought it was not that great of a story but the vfx’s and special effects with the acting and the music of the movie lightened it up for the audience and which does not make is a total flop and I will give it a 2.5/5 rating! Now guessing the business of the movie I guess will be quite hard because the budget of the movie was 21 crore and was not promoted well so that is why I think this movie will do business of around 55-80 crore!
