SEEN 7 SEPT
Rewatched this after the initial theatrical run and it holds up even better on a second viewing. Details in the background that I missed the first time around add so much to the world-building. The lead pair have genuine chemistry, which honestly saves a script that's fairly thin on plot. Comedy track involving the extended family is hit or miss — mostly hit, occasionally overstretched. Cinematography leans heavily on wide establishing shots that slow the pace but look gorgeous. By the end I wasn't thinking about the plot holes anymore, just enjoying the ride. Not a perfect film but a genuinely fun one.

Rewatch value on this is higher than I expected.
I had a slightly different reaction but I see where you're coming from.
Curious if you've seen the director's earlier work too.
This is such an underrated one, glad you reviewed it.
Adding this to my list based on your review.
I keep coming back to that one sequence near the interval.
The interval block alone is worth the ticket honestly.
A rare one that respects the audience's intelligence.
Second half could've been twenty minutes shorter, no?
This is such an underrated one, glad you reviewed it.
Put this on expecting background noise, ended up glued to it.
The lead carried entire stretches of this single-handedly.
Watched it FDFS and the theatre response was something else.

Been recommending this to everyone who'll listen.
Underrated performance from the supporting cast here.
That performance deserved far more recognition.

Caught this on OTT last night, your review was spot on.
