Shashank Khaitan’s ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania’ was an ode/rehash/remake (take your pick) of one of the most iconic love stories of Hindi Cinema, ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’. But unlike Parmeet Sethi’s Kuljeet in DDLJ, Sidharth Shukla`s Angad had no traces of grey shades. He wasn’t reduced to being a villain in the end who won’t let the hero be with the heroine. After all, when has love obeyed or followed idealism when it’s all about the essence?

Hindi Cinema is a medium that allows you to be as fictional as you can imagine, far away from being practical and pragmatic. In the real world, guys like Humpty do not stand a chance to win against someone like Angad. We sadly don’t get enough moments between Kavya and Angad apart from a dhaba scene that later involves the third angle in the triangle too.
