<strong>Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania has a cute love story. It isn't a copy of DDLJ but you'll love Alia-Varun as much as you adored Shah Rukh-Kajol almost two decades back.</strong><br/> From the classic romance drama Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge to Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, Bollywood has come a long way creating some exceptional love sagas yet we cherish the former for its unbeatable zeal and aura.

<strong>A light-hearted tribute to DDLJ</strong><br/> Karan Johar`s Dharma Production is out with another entertainer `Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya` with Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt for the second time. The two had previously paired up in their debut `Student Of The Year`.

It starts with a designer lehenga and ends up with an ode to the Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge climax. The plot of Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania is like a roller coaster ride that encounters a few loose nuts and bolts along the way. Kavya (Alia) is a small town girl who wants to dress up in a five lakh designer outfit for her wedding.

He's Sir Hump-a-lot (or at least make out-a-lot). Maybe that's why his nick is 'Humpty'. Typical Delhi ka munda, part-dilwala, part-gunda. So we have a classic 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jaayenge' in the mix. Fast-forwarded to today (18 years later). Where love is a 'Facebook' post and the generational shift allows you to 'makeout' with your gal and smoke-up with your papaji-in-law-to-be. All is cool!

<strong>The film scores with its likeable lead pair. Varun Dhawan still has raw edges, Alia Bhatt is vibrant and fresh.</strong><br/> "Main toh paida hi hot hui thi", says Ambala's resident 'pataka' Kavya Pratap Singh. And slays 'Dilli da munda' Humpty Sharma. The banter between the two is easy, natural, fun. That they will fall for each other is inevitable, because that's the way they have been set up, and the process makes the first half of 'Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania' a breeze. I smiled all the way till the half way point.

Here's another entertainer from Dharma Productions, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania is going to be worth your time and money! It's an entertainer in the true sense. There is something about the new breed of actors. After just three to four films, the confidence and spontaneity Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan show in their new film is unbelievable.

Feisty Ambala girl, Kavya Pratap Singh, daughter of an automobile mechanic-turned-transporter, wants an expensive designer lehenga for her impending wedding. Brash Delhi boy, Rakesh alias Humpty Sharma, whose dad owns a small college bookstore, craves the new car that his old man has been saving up for.

DILWALE DULHANIA LE JAYENGE, released in 1995, continues to inspire and motivate a number of storytellers to this date, even after [almost] two decades of its release. Now debutant director Shashank Khaitan borrows the essence from Aditya Chopra's all-time classic film and gives an altogether new spin to it. Result: HUMPTY SHARMA KI DULHANIA.

Kavya Pratap Singh from a rich family in Ambala is all set for an arranged marriage with an NRI guy she hasn't seen. In Delhi on the pretext of wedding shopping, she tries to live her bit of life and enjoy it. There she meets Humpty Sharam aka Rakesh - the good-hearted college kid who falls in love with her and wants to fulfill her dreams. The film traces their ensuing journey for love, fighting all odds and winning hearts.
