It approaches the millennial trend of catfishing through an old-fashioned lens (Karam pretends to be a girl and tricks people on the phone as opposed to the internet), the same way <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/dum-laga-ke-haisha-ayushmann-khuranna-bhumi-pednekar\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dum Laga Ke Haisha<\/span><\/i><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">approaches the thorny topic of fat-shaming through its oldest proponent: arranged marriage. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And it attempts to employ humour to deliver a pertinent message about acceptance, a delicate balance popularised by <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Badhaai Ho<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \n\nAnd yet, the trouble is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dream Girl<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> never comes close to doing justice or even giving its own spin to any of these templates, ending up as a jumbled-up outing that says nothing in its greed to say a little bit of everything.

This means a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/culture\/durga-puja-childhood-bengali-adult\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">childhood<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and a lifetime of getting his friends out of trouble by pretending to talk like their mothers or girlfriends and a permanent role as Sita in the local Ramayana play. Living in his modest house with Jagjit (Annu Kapoor) his eccentric, widowed single father who has a litany of loans to pay off, Karam is desperate in his search for a job. For his father, it is the only way out from the burden of loans.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a string of rejections, Karam finally lands a well-paying job: The catch is that the job is at a friendship call centre where he has to pretend to be Pooja, a sensuous woman who responds to the sexual fantasies of her callers. Naturally, Karam lies about his job to everyone, even as the financial situation of his family improves. This forms the crux of the comedy of errors, beats of which <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dream Girl <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">plays predictably. Nushrat Bharucha also stars in the film, playing a pointless iteration of her deeply watchable \u201cbubbly girlfriend\u201d act from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pyaar Ka Punchnama<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Its haphazard editing further aids the abruptness. Some of the gags, especially ones that involve arguably every scene that has <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/thank-mira-nair-for-pk-dubey-monsoon-wedding-birthday-bollywood-vijay-raaz-pop-culture-films\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vijay Raaz<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> essaying the lovelorn police officer who is secretly a poet and Annu Kapoor taking the idea of being more tolerant to Muslims literally, are a hoot and could easily make their own spinoffs.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At worst, it\u2019s a film that superficially throws around compelling topics \u2013 the moralities of catfishing, widespread <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/health\/loneliness-caregiver-mental-health-disease-illness\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">loneliness<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and jobs for women that are created around male sexual repression \u2013 without making the effort to mine insights from any of them. Even more frustrating is how <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dream Girl<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> refuses to engage with two of its seemingly progressive stances: One of Pooja\u2019s callers is a woman (of course, she is stereotyped as a man-hating feminist editor who has been dumped by three guys and has a permanent membership to Screechyland) and the film implies that she is in love with Pooja, although it never makes the presumed change in her sexual orientation clear. One of his other callers is his own father, which to me, was the movie\u2019s most ingenious move. Yet Shaandilyaa underutilises this angle by choosing to spring the information up in a flashback scene and not painting the origins story; what prompted his father to call Pooja in the first place.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps, the only reason <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dream Girl<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, interrupted with unnecessary songs, laborious sub-plots, all-time low stakes (Karam never faces social and fillial humiliation the way Vicky does. His family, friends, and girlfriend are surprisingly supportive), and an almost embarrassing climax, isn\u2019t flat-out boring is because of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/meri-pyaari-bindu-parineeti-chopra-ayushmann-khurana-yash-raj-films\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ayushmann Khurrana<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It is both a good and a bad thing, given that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dream Girl<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> suffers primarily because Shaandilyaa seems visibly awestruck at the mere idea of the actor role-playing as a woman. On his part, Khurrana delivers a rip-roaring performance as Pooja. Yet, at the same time it\u2019s also a performance that one has now come to expect out of Khurrana. For someone who has stopped being an actor, and whose filmography represents an entire genre of cinema instead, putting in anything less than this would be indefensible. The biggest failing of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dream Girl<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> then, is that it looks like the first sign of Khurrana being held prisoner by his own reputation.<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dream Girl suffers from a visible Vicky Donor hangover and says nothing new in its greed to say a little bit of everything.
