Titu Ambani Movie Review : A tedious and dry family drama

Titu Shukla (Tushar Pandey) is an ambitious young man who values business offers and quick cuts over jobs. When his grand business idea fails miserably, he finds himself in a pickle. And to top it all off, after a heated argument, his wife Mosmi (Deepaka Singh) abandons him. Does Titu manage to put his life back together in the end?

Review: Titu Ambani, which is set in Ajmer, centres on a young guy from a middle-class family who favours pursuing a business concept to toiling away at a job. The parents of Titu Shukla believe that getting him married to his beloved Mosmi will make him more responsible and alter his outlook on life. Titu finds himself in a bind as the marriage begins to fall apart as a result of misunderstandings. Does he develop as a person?

The elements were in place for a two-hour family drama with humour and a strong message: a cast of NSD-certified performers, a subject, numerous timely topics, and several relevant topics. What one sees is a verbose, slow-moving family drama that is dull for the most part. Yes, there are instances in which the speech will make you chuckle, but it was probably not the original intent when the movie was being developed. Yes, it’s definitely one of the movie’s few redeeming qualities. Overall, the writing is subpar. Some of the characters come out as one-dimensional, excessive, and hard to relate to. Even the romance subplot of the movie fails to engage you. and it makes investing more challenging.

Despite having a short running period of under two hours, the movie feels drawn out. The production value, sound, and camera work are all good. Unfortunately, the movie’s hook-worthy parts are scattered all over the place. Although the songs are adequate, none of them stick with you long after the movie is ended.

Raghubir Yadav and Tushar Pandey make a valiant effort to improve some subpar writing. Additionally, Deepika Singh delivers a sincere, fuss-free performance. However, none of the performances actually make you cry. Additionally, you don’t feel compelled to follow the characters’ adventures.

The filmmaker has to pay particular attention to the fact that the movie takes a very long time to get the point it is working so hard to achieve. It’s enough to suggest that he still has a very long way to go in developing and perfecting his storytelling technique.

In conclusion, this had the potential to be a fast-moving, enjoyable family drama that dealt with significant, commonplace topics. It turns out to be a protracted, dull drama that stumbles while attempting to find its point of focus.

KL Rahul dangerously close to Laxman territory; to be perished for Sarfaraz Khan and Shubman Gill

To accommodate both Sarfaraz and Gill and stick with their five-bowler formula, a batter from the Bengaluru Test must make way. Ergo Rahul and the predicted axe

VVS Laxman went through the first half of his illustrious 15-and-a-half-year international career with the proverbial axe hanging over him. Despite his magical stroke-play and a well-founded reputation for rallying the lower order to bat above itself, he was forever the first name that sprang to the decision-makers’ minds when they had to drop someone to accommodate someone else. It wasn’t until the second half of his stint with the national team that he had ‘job security’, which automatically manifested itself in an array of glorious, match-turning knocks and earmarked him as one for a crisis.

KL Rahul is now dangerously close to approaching the Laxman territory, though at least in this instance, a case can be made out, perhaps, for why he often seems to be playing for his place. Almost a decade after his Test debut in Australia in December 2014, he has yet to nail down a permanent spot, a result of glaring inconsistency and repeated dalliances with injuries that have left him with a modest average of 33.87 from 53 Test appearances.

Unlike Laxman, who was thrust to the opener’s position for three years from 1997, successive team managements have worked overtime to create space for Rahul. He started off in the middle order in Melbourne against Australia, opened in the next Test in Sydney when he made a sparkling century, continued in that position for a good nine years – around the large pockets when either injuries or lack of form relegated him to the sidelines – and now seems to have found his calling in the middle order, where he was tried out in an almost last throw of the dice in South Africa last December.

In his limited time at the No. 6 position, Rahul has been a revelation. On a spiteful surface in Centurion in his first innings back in the middle order, the classy right-hander made a marvellous 101 – Virat Kohli’s 38 was the next highest score – in India’s 245 all out. Two Tests later, against England in Hyderabad, he waltzed to 86 of the best until a hamstring strain kept him out of the last four Tests.

On his comeback last month against Bangladesh, Rahul showed why he is rated so highly, and therefore why he so frustrates when he chooses to shackle himself mentally, with uninhibited shot-making when India were pressing for a declaration (Chennai) and looking to make up for lost time with a frenetic batting approach (Kanpur) in the two Tests. Kanpur was especially mesmeric, 68 flowing off his bat in a mere 43 deliveries. It was the best of Rahul.

Axe hangs over Rahul’s head for India vs New Zealand 2nd Test

And yet here we are, two innings later, wondering whether he will, or should, feature in the playing XI in Pune, where India take on New Zealand in a must-win second Test from Thursday.

Shubman Gill, him of three centuries in his last six Tests, missed the Bengaluru defeat to the Kiwis with a stiff neck. Replacement batter Sarfaraz Khan made the most of own good fortune with a delectable 150, which makes it near impossible to drop him now that Gill is fully fit. To accommodate both Sarfaraz and Gill and stick with their five-bowler formula which has worked beautifully in the last few years, a batter from the Bengaluru Test must make way. Ergo Rahul and the predicted axe.

One of the few men to have led India in all three formats internationally, Rahul didn’t help his cause with scores of 0 and 12 at his home ground, the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. In the first innings, he was strangled down leg-side by William O’Rourke while in the second, he received a peach from the same paceman operating with the second new ball and was again caught behind. Rahul was one of 11 failures in India’s first-innings 46 and one of seven wickets to fall in 93 deliveries to the second new cherry, but failures past and the logjam created by Gill’s availability have combined to identify him as the most susceptible to the axe.

It’s a cross impossible to bear, but also impossible to ignore just because it is so heavy, so overarching. Rahul is beyond gifted and makes batting appear oh-so-simple, but his struggles to embrace sustained run-making can’t be wished away. He is the eternal team man, much like his celebrated namesake also from Karnataka – both kept wickets admirably in 50-over World Cups 21 years apart, both made attractive and impactful runs during the tournament and both tasted bitter defeat at the hands of Australia in the final – but ‘eternal team man’ can sometimes be an euphemism for the ‘most dispensable’ and Rahul can be excused for thinking that those two lines have blurred beyond repair. Of course, if he is brutally honest to himself, he will acknowledge at least to himself that he too must bear culpability for the blurring of the lines.
