Movie Review:

Story: After facing rejection for four years, a dark-skinned Haryanvi girl is finally set to marry after her father promises the boy’s family double the dowry. When the truck with the dowry items is robbed, a cop who once turned her down helps her find it. Will they get the stuff back so that she can marry?

Review: What price must a dark-skinned girl and her family pay to get her married? A lot of humiliation and double the dowry, as Lovely (Ileana D’Cruz) and her folks do in this social comedy. The movie deals with Indians’ obsession with fair skin and how a girl suffers because of it, although she’s a principled and bright Ph.D. student of Anthropology.

With a formulaic narrative, writer-director Balwinder Singh Janjua’s film doesn’t break new ground in tackling colourism. But it offers a palatable social commentary wrapped in a fun, albeit lengthy, package. The screenplay loses its tautness as it is overstuffed with characters and situations. However, it is still entertaining and keeps the viewer giggling away for the most part.

Despite predictable messages about inner beauty and a familiar trope of road trip romance and family dynamics, the film’s charm lies in its distinct Haryanvi flavour. Hilarious characters with their desi wit and twangy language deliver laugh-out-loud moments, keeping you entertained.

Ileana D’Cruz shines as the endearing yet no-nonsense Lovely. But more attention could have been paid to her dusky makeup, which looks patchy and inconsistent throughout. In some scenes. Randeep Hooda, as a rough but also good-hearted cop, is brilliant. His command on Haryanvi mannerisms and comic timing are spot-on. Pavan Malhotra as Lovely’s father, Meghna Malik as her bua Suman, Karan Kundra as her best friend Guggu, and Geeta Agrawal Sharma as Sombir’s mother deliver good performances.

With a shorter runtime, fresher story, and crisper screenplay, Tera Kya Hoga Lovely would have been a more interesting watch. However, it manages to entertain with its lighthearted humor and strong performances. If you want a sweet, rib-tickling romantic escapade, Tera Kya Hoga Lovely? might be your pick.
