Synopsis
‘Road’ boy Vivek Oberoi and Rani Mukherji team up for the first time in director Shaad Ali’s romantic thriller titled Saathiya
The film tells the story of a girl who thought that ‘love was for people who had nothing better to do’.
Suhani Sharma (Rani), a pediatric student in Mumbai medical college, was unlike many girls of her age. A bookworm who spent most of
her time studying pediatrics and doing night shifts practicing surgery, Suhani never thought she could fall in love.
But one day, a chance meeting with a stranger Aditya (Vivek) on a morning train to Marine Lines changes it all. It is a case of love
at first sight.
The two get married. Suhani gladly accepts whatever Aditya has to offer – a dingy room with unplastered walls, rickety furniture and a
makeshift kitchen.
Financial insecurities and ego hassles begin to drive a wedge between the happily married couple and the duo part ways eventually.
However, deep inside both of them there still lingers their platonic love. Both know they cannot live ‘with or without’ each other.
Review
The chief shortcoming in Saathiya is its hackneyed storyline. The theme of lovers facing parental opposition, getting married
in secret and then parting ways is not new.
However, Shaad Ali’s sense of cinematic presentation lends a novelty to the film despite the fact that the movie is the Hindi remake
of the South Indian hit Alay Payuthe.
The film takes off on a mushy note in the first half with Vivek chasing Rani in Mumbai trains. Both Vivek and Rani have delivered
commendable performances and the chemistry between the two is superb throughout the film.
The story moves fast in the initial reels and the two get married in spite of the parental opposition. By the interval point the girl
confesses to her distraught father that she is married.
In the second half the movie gets serious as Ali focuses more on the petty tiffs and spats that drive a wedge between the once happily
married couple. The girl begins to suspect the boy and the boy is caught thick in the daily chores of providing for his newfound
domestic life.
It is only before the end that the film gets really emotional and does manage to pull a couple of strings at the viewer’s heart.
