About Girlfriend Chor
Writer, Director: Girish Jotwani
Cast: Mayur More, Diksha Juneja, Shishir Sharma, Sonali Sachdev, Kushagre Dua, Himani Sharma, Harsh Joshi,
Producer: Backstory Pictures
Streaming Platform: MX Player
Girlfriend Chor, about two disgruntled youth (Aakash and Ritu) enviously watching their respective lovers (Neha and Vishal) be in love, is a breeze. For one, it only spans 5 episodes, 20 minutes each. It is also mostly dialogue based, not mounted on grand emotions, quiet close-ups, and neither does it attempt to be grand or emotive.
Aakash (Mayur More, the Kota Factory find) and his parents decide to collude with Ritu (Diksha Juneja, the Delhi girl in Mumbai) to break up Neha and Vishal. For one, Neha and Vishal were on the rebound when they found each other. So it is assumed that this is a frivolous affair destined to fizzle. Moreover, Vishal, described by the show-notes as “charming” , comes across as an incorrigible and obvious flirt, almost bringing to life the Delhi boy stereotype.
Vishal’s parents (Shishir Sharma and Sonali Sachdev, the charming older couple) are the stable entity against which these flummoxed dispensable love affairs of the youth unfold through dog filters and boomerangs on Instagram. For a second their stability is cast into aspersion but this show does not have the emotional capacity to build this into something more real, so it is left out.
The idea that love needs to be fought for has been taken too far too often. But here, the candyfloss dialogue and staging make the macabre circumstances fade. There is a startling moment when all 4 are watching television at night. Ritu tries to hold Aakash’s hand. Is it to make Vishal jealous? Is it because she is developing a serious sentiment for Aakash? A bit of both? For such a nebulous character it is rich that in the very next scene she boldly states to Vishal “Say what you mean, otherwise don’t say it at all.” But to be able to say what one feels, one needs to know what one feels. Here, both love and lovers feel fungible.
Swirling through stolen cigarette swigs and cheap rum, this tale of young people, like most tales of young people, is forgettable in that it doesn’t bring any fresh perspective on the disposable nature of love we have tripped upon. But the collective run time of this show is less than most Hindi films. It doesn’t demand much space in your day. Even after you’re done with it, it won’t demand much space in your mind. That’s both its beauty and its bane.
In this season of corona confinement, people will watch whatever plays out on whichever screen that flashes before their eyes. A whole lot of digital stuff will get noticed that way, and if "Girlfriend Chor" happens to belong to that lot it is not necessarily because this is a bad show.
Writer-director Girish Jotwani's rom-com is enjoyable, if only because it doesn't pretend to be anything more than an easy, breezy watch. Put simply, it is about a social oddball whose Daddy Cool takes it on himself to put the son's love life on track.
"Girlfriend Chor" avoids the deeper contexts of generation gap or mindset disparity that such a situation might lead to -- in fact, the show avoids getting into any sort of complications of any kind. The focus remains on hearty humour, Jotwani and team have done adequately to that extent.
This is the story of Aakash (Mayur More) and his one-sided love for the uber-cool Neha (Himanshi Sharma), though she seems to flip for the smarter, richer Vishal (Kushagre Dua). That's where Akash's dad (Shishir Sharma) comes up with a plan. He suggests Akash to act as if he is in love with the Friendly Neighbourhood Nice Girl, Ritu (Diksha Juneja). The idea is to distract Neha's attention from Vishal and hence trigger a rift between the two. Of course, there are twists on the way -- standard filmi ones, but executed with the right mix of humour and drama.
It doesn't take you long to realise the template on which the characters work. If Akash is broadly Archie, Ritu makes a desi-fied Betty to Neha's Veronica. Vishal could be Reggie with a few adjustments.
The young cast plays out the roles with originality despite the hangover of 'inspiration', making each character their own. The really impressive performance, however, comes from Shishir Verma. Long confined to a handful of scenes in many a Bollywood blockbuster, the senior actor comes up a winner in what must definitely be the role of his lifetime yet.
A big reason the show works has to be the fact that Jotwani has confined the script to just five episodes. Comic drama cutting across sub-genres tends to bore if brevity is compromised -- last week's black comedy "Hasmukh" being a prime example. "Girlfriend Chor" maybe comparatively more uncomplicated in its intent, but the joke here ends while it is still funny.
They've hinted at season two at the end. We would say there is scope to re-haul the good clean fun, just tone down the melodrama the next time.
