Watch her closely in the monologue and she is at her best when she says: вЂњTujhe pata problem kya hai. Kapoor is remarkably restraint when she could have been hysterical or hyperbolic. As the gutsy Maanvi, a Zumba instructor with a hidden past, she bites into the taboo role with almost carnal craving and delivers a career-defining performance. The same goes for the entire star cast, particularly Vaani Kapoor for accepting a role which many would have not touched even with a barge pole. It's also refreshing to see aВ romance involving a trans woman treated with such unprecedented sensitivity and maturity The film in no way is a modern day masterpiece as it has its own shares of flaws and fallacies and, at times, is contradictory and complacent to some relevant issues involving theВ LGBTQ+ community (for instance, the sexual transformation of Maanvi hardly gets any screen space)Д«ut the director and writers deserve kudos for their fastidious approach that smashes many stereotypes and sets a new benchmark for conscious and contemplative filmmaking. They combine their remarkable skills for conception and execution with such rare dexterity that a film which could have easily become preachy and pedestrian is turned into a thought provoking and purposeful take on one of the most difficult conundrums of all times involving sexuality. The real heroes are co-writer and director Abhishek Kapoor andВ Supratik Sen and Tushar Paranjpe, the dialogue and screenplay collaborators. Revealing anything more here will be grossly unjust to a cleverly crafted film dealing with a sordid subject. A few steamy scenes later, a startling revelation by the girl gives the plot a Hitchockian twist. Boy meets girl and after the initial sparks, itвЂ™s time for romance. How much more, well, you have to judge it for yourself.Д¬handigarh Kare Aashiqui starts off asВ a typical run-of-the-mill love story. The makers of this film call it aВ вЂmind bending love storyвЂ™. Cast: Ayushmann Khurrana, Vaani Kapoor, Kanwaljit Singh
