Shiddat (2021) Hindi Movie Review: Story
The story of Shiddat revolves around 2 different love stories. On their wedding day, Gautam (Mohit Raina) was delivering a short pitch about his fiancé Ira (Diana Penty). Getting inspired by those lines an enthusiastic Jaggi (Sunny Kaushal) went & congratulated them.
Jaggi who is a hockey player started searching for his soulmate and his search ended when he found swimmer Kartika (Radhika Madan). Like almost every other modern guy he tried to impress her in all possible ways. It was a clear no from Kartika’s side initially but things got changed over time.
Seeing his dedication & madness towards her Kartika couldn’t stop her. Kartika’s father noticed Jaggi’s behavior and fixed her marriage with another guy. Jaggi was heartbroken but not ready to accept it instead he decided to go to Kartika ignoring every obstacle.
On the other hand lives of Gautam & Ira have changed a lot after their marriage. After thinking over it Ira had to file for a divorce. Jaggi’s attempt to reunite them once again also did not work.
Performance & Analysis::
Kunal Deshmukh made his directorial debut in Bollywood in 2008 with the movie Jannat starring Emraan Hashmi-Sonal Chauhan. Thereafter he went on to make movies like Tum Mile, Jannat 2, and Raja Natwarlal. The gap between his last movie Raja Natwarlal & Shiddat is more than 7 years.
The only common factor in all of his previous movies was Emraan Hashmi. Shiddat is his first directorial movie without Emraan Hashmi in it. He was also the Chief Assistant Director in Director Mohit Suri’s movie Kalyug which marked actor Kunal Khemu’s debut in a lead role.
Sunny Kaushal did not leave any stone unturned to make the journey of Shiddat memorable. Radhika Madan did a fantastic job as Kartika. Mohit Raina & Diana Penty did not get much scope to explore their talents.
What was good about this movie?
Sunny Kaushal’s outstanding performance, the freshness of Sunny Kaushal & Radhika Madan’s on-screen chemistry, and Sachin-Jigar’s composition were the movie's highlights.
What was the bad about Shiddat?
In parts, Shiddat looked too much illogical and unrealistic. The romantic drama went wrong in its execution as well as a weakly written second half.
Director Kunal Deshmukh failed to utilize two talented artists like Mohit Raina & Diana Penty. Mohit Raina was still okay as an Indian Foreign Services officer but Diana Penty as a spirited social worker deserved more screen time.
