Plot

Kunal Kohli's attempt to capture love definition in Gen Z in Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story remains superficial. The story follows Bobby and Rishi as they meet in Cambridge after their flights from Heathrow are cancelled. They spend a day together, fall in love, but face obstacles due to Bobby's fear of commitment and past relationships. The film then explores their journey after they reunite two years later in couples therapy.

Overall, the plot has predictable moments and a forced couples therapy angle.

Acting

The performances in Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story are average. Vardhaan Puri portrays Rishi convincingly but fails ot mark an impact. Kaveri Kapur shows potential in her debut role as Bobby but lacks refinement. Lillete Dubey brings maturity to her character, Dr. Shenaya, but the narrative doesn't give her that much space. The not-so-impactful chemistry between the leads detracts from the overall acting in the film.

Cinematography

The cinematography in Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story captures the youthful and trendy styling of the lead actors. There are some moments of humor in scenes between Bobby and Rishi, but most part is felt unattended. The weepy-sounding Punjabi songs, despite being catchy, are ineffective in enhancing the overall cinematography of the film.

Direction

Directed by Kunal Kohli, Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story falls short due to an unimpressive chemistry, pacing issues and overall narration. The pacing of the film feels rushed, and the characters lack depth and likability. Kohli's attempt to replicate elements of his previous works like Hum Tum doesn't succeed in capturing the charm and memorable moments that made his earlier films successful.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story is a rom-com that fails in impressing the audience. The film lacks depth, charm, and memorable moments, making it feel disconnect in terms of quality from Kohli's previous work. The average performances, predictable plot, and forced couples therapy angle hinder the overall impact of the film. While there are moments of humor and catchy songs, they don't elevate the storytelling or the characters. Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story may appeal to viewers looking for a light-hearted romantic comedy, but it falls short in capturing the relationship concept in Gen Z.
