‘Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu’ is a rom-com, but it's not anything that you may have witnessed on the Bollywood screen earlier. First-time director Shakun Batra brings with him a novel grammar of storytelling, which stresses more on tête-à-tête, while the camera captures those moments resplendently. Besides, Shakun doesn't rely on buffers like heavy-duty drama, ear-splitting background score or props to augment a scene or move the narrative frontward. Set in an urban landscape, the movie is essentially a two-seater vehicle that excuses itself from the banal and hackneyed prescription, but endorses the longstanding theme of opposites magnetize. Shakun Batra gradients more towards the multiplex friendly technique of narrating a story and the execution of the subject reminds you of how rom-coms are narrated in the West. Both Kareena and Imran come up with distinctive urban sensibilities and you only expect the two to comprehend the nuances of the narrative and execute that delicately and magnificently on screen. All in all, in the flick, the take on love is refined, smart, lively and thoroughly pleasing thanks to its characters, conversations and the inherent humour. A must watch!
