Phillauri

Movie Review (Hindi)

Let's look at the main characters in this movie - A young man about to be married who is not quite ready for the knot, his fiancee who is besotted with him and a pretty ghost.
The idea of weaving a love story set during the turbulent times of India's independence with a modern day love story is indeed novel. Especially so when one of the most successful actresses, Anushka Sharma, takes on the role of a ghost. This ghost again has a back story -A girl from the village, Phillaur, who is a poet and is in love with a singer. Her love story, of course, has a tragic ending leading her to be a ghost.
Suraj Sharma who plays the character of the bridegroom-to-be, has nightmares about marriage and then he finds himself a ghost bride!! 

It does make me wonder if it isn't a great idea for intelligent actresses to turn producers. Looking forward to many more such offbeat refreshing movies...
