Gehraiyaan movie review: Deepika Padukone outdoes herself in Shakun Batra’s film but it isn’t enough

A twisted tale of love, lies, trust, betrayal, complex relationships, and the dark reality of moving on, Gehraiyaan is an intimate film. While this isn’t the first time Bollywood has shown infidelity on-screen, the narrative has certainly matured, with characters being allowed to go deeper beyond simple appeal.

From 2006’s Kabhie Alvida Na Kehna, where many viewers couldn’t understand the concept of finding love after marriage, to now in 2022, films like Gehraiyaan delve into why relationships are deadlocked, it’s been a journey of progress. Yes, also related.

Starring Deepika Padukone, Ananya Panday, Siddhant Chaturvedi, and Dhairya Karwa, Shakun Batra’s Gehraiyaan is a modern love story where it’s only natural to fall out of love and find it again elsewhere. Alisha (Deepika) and Karan (Dhairya) have been together for six years and they plan to meet her cousin Tia (Ananya) and fiance Zain from Los Angeles. After a few words and sweet glances, Alisha and Zain are immediately attracted to each other.

In her own world, Tia doesn’t know anything about what’s going on behind the scenes, as does Karan, who’s working on getting his book published and running a family with Alyssa. In all this, lies are revealed and some are hidden.

While the trailer reveals a lot about the movie’s plot, I’m glad it retains just as much curiosity, suspense, and twists as the story unfolds.

Shakun’s story, which he co-authored with Sumit Roy, Ayesha Devitre and Yash Sahai, has its heart in the right place but faltering in many places. You often wonder, “why,” “how,” and “is that so?” Some questions are left unanswered, and some are thought to be categorized. The characters in this movie go on with their lives so easily without knowing the real conspiracy. Despite these flaws, Gehraiyaan reveals the complexities of relationships and the extent to which people can go to save or destroy them.

There’s a lot of hustle and bustle about Gehraiyaan appointing an intimate director for the scene between Siddhant and Deepika’s characters. Do we really need it? Well, you know it when you watch the movie. Sadly, I didn’t feel any spark between Deepika and Sidhunt in those specific scenes, even though Deepika was great and comfortable throughout.

Deepika seems to have a knack for picking complex characters and portraying them with such conviction. Her extremely nuanced performance in Gehraiyaan reminds me of Veronica in Cocktail and Tara in Tamasha. As Alyssa, she is clear-headed and ambitious, but also experiences her moments of weakness and vulnerability.

Amitabh Bachchan: Shocking Fan Incident Outside Jalsa

Amitabh Bachchan Fan Faints After Hours of Torturous Waiting

The weekly Sunday rite outside the renowned gates of Jalsa is nothing short of profoundly holy. For decades, thousands of deeply moved admirers have gathered like clockwork, hoping for a single glimpse of the iconic megastar.

Yesterday evening, that fierce commitment took a scary and sad turn. A middle-aged guy, who had been standing patiently in the scorching midday sun for more than four hours, collapsed unexpectedly.

He collapsed totally into profound sleep, landing directly on the harsh, unforgiving asphalt road. The happy, chanting crowd fell silent in an instant as reality hit in.

A Heartbreaking Moment of Desperation

According to eyewitnesses, this enthusiast travelled across various states for a two-minute glimpse of his idol. His quivering hands clutched a framed vintage photograph of the superstar.

As the searing midday heat reached its zenith, acute dehydration and utter physical fatigue overtook his body. His feeble knees bowed under the crushing weight of his never-ending, frantic wait.

He fell face first to the ground before anyone could react or grab him. The enormous crowd’s collective, frightened gasp boomed over Juhu’s normally peaceful suburban streets.


Sudden Chaos Outside Jalsa’s Gates

Within seconds, total fear spread among the observers. Fellow supporters quickly dropped their homemade banners and posters, coming to the fallen man’s rescue. Someone desperately sprayed cold water upon his pale, sweating face.

The large security crew stationed outside Amitabh Bachchan’s home acted quickly. They were able to remove the rising, panicked crowd, allowing the choking sufferer to breathe easier.

An emergency ambulance was dispatched immediately, while local volunteers attempted to revive him. In a few startling moments, the atmosphere went from exhilarating exhilaration to total horror.


The Relentless Sunday Evening Madness

Every Sunday evening, the veteran actor gracefully goes onto a high podium at his grand gates. It is a renowned custom that has completely defined Bollywood fan culture over generations.

Passionate admirers will miss meals, risk heavy monsoons, and suffer harsh summer heat waves only to see him wave. It is a profound, emotional bond that defies all reasonable logic.

For this heartbreakingly loyal admirer, the powerful emotional rush combined with severe physical tiredness proved to be a highly perilous, almost lethal combination on the boiling, sweltering concrete.

Security Personnel Scramble to Prevent Tragedy

Local police officers responded promptly to the chaotic scene, attempting to manage the emotionally charged throng. Medical staff administered quick, vital first aid on the scene, examining his critically weak and decreasing pulse.

The comatose man was gingerly put onto a canvas stretcher, still clutching his prized, sweat-soaked image of the actor. He was sent to a local hospital for emergency treatment.

On-duty medics eventually confirmed that he had severe heatstroke and acute, life-threatening dehydration. Fortunately, his medical condition improved after he received repeated IV infusions and intensive, appropriate care.


A Stark Warning for Star-Worshippers

This terrible, tragic episode has generated a heated, much-needed debate about the extreme limits of celebrity worship in India. Blind passion should never result in the death of an innocent person.

Jalsa is an undisputed historical monument to love, but yesterday it served as a grim, sobering lesson. Extreme physical endurance for a brief moment can easily result in a catastrophic medical tragedy.

As thousands of passionate individuals continue to flow to Mumbai every day, the fine line between beautiful appreciation and life-threatening devotion becomes increasingly, dangerously blurred for these fragile worshippers.


Terrifying Boundaries of Human Obsession

The burning passion that motivates these ordinary folks to risk their own health is both wonderful and scary. It emphasises the megastar’s immense, godlike influence over millions of hearts.

While the legendary actor continues to express love to his devoted fans, this dangerous occurrence demonstrates that safety should always come first. No fan should have to bleed or faint on the street in order to catch a passing shadow.
