De De Pyaar De: A Refreshingly Mature Romance?!

We do a postmortem of the Ajay Devgn, Tabu and Rakul Preet Singh-starrer, directed by debutante Akiv Ali, which deals with the relationship between a 50-year-old man and a 26-year-old girl, and the complications that come with a huge age-gap.

The fact that the film is written and produced by Luv Ranjan, made many of us expect a repeat of his female-bashing romantic comedies like the Pyaar Ka Punchnama franchise and Sonu Ki Teetu Ki Sweety, but the love story in this one is, surprisingly, handled with a lot more maturity and depth than his earlier films.

In this episode we discuss Ajay embracing his age (which very few ageing male stars of Bollywood have done so far), the writing of the female characters and complexities of the plot. And whether it did end up being funny and entertaining at all. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
