The climactic scene where Taapsee and Abhishek have a long exchange of dialogue is pure cinematic delight. To top that, Kashyap has adopted a restrained storytelling style where dialogue and emotions take centre stage. It’s not just good writing, this is an in-depth exploration of love and the mistakes people make in matters of the heart, before they finally settle down.

To say that Kanika Dhillon’s writing on Manmarziyaan is layered is stating the obvious. You can never peg down, why Robbie is so interested in marrying Rumi, knowing fully well that she and Vicky are inseparable. Once Abhishek Bachchan’s Robbie enters the scene, as a prospective suitor backed by the local matchmaker, the story gets an interesting spin. When they decide to run away, she asks the pertinent question… ‘what will we do for a living?’ and when Vicky has no answer, the fairytale romance comes crashing down. Commitment issues, immaturity and the folly of exuberance, bring a reality check to their rip-roaring romance. But the apparent and obvious frivolity of their relationship, kicks up a surprise. They’re horny as hell and totally into each other. He jumps from one roof to the other, to sneak into her bedroom. The film is set in Amritsar, where Rumi (Taapsee) and Vicky's (Kaushal) sex-heavy romance creates a radical contrast to the small-town setting. Despite its strengths, this romantic drama might be, at times, a little too mature for the average audience. It’s unlike any Anurag Kashyap film you’ve seen before. With characters constantly oscillating between confusion and complex emotions, Manmarziyaan presents a new and updated look at romance and relationships.

The seemingly conventional story of a love triangle, gets original with its treatment and portrayal of love.

Manmarziyaan Review: The maturity with which Anurag Kashyap’s Manmarziyaan talks about love and relationships is refreshing. That's when Robbie (Abhishek Bachchan) enters the proverbial love triangle. Eventually, she gives up on him and agrees to an arranged marriage. But Vicky has cold feet and keeps avoiding Rumi's request to bring his parents over and ask her hand in marriage. When they’re caught red handed by Rumi’s family, pressure builds up to get married. Manmarziyaan Story: Rumi (Taapsee Pannu) and Vicky (Vicky Kaushal) are in love and they can’t stay out of the bedroom.
