A young couple, madly in love, gets
separated when the girl’s elder brother, already accused in a murder case,
kills the boy. The boy’s family, notably his younger brother, takes the girl’s
family to court to fight for justice. It touches upon several issues such as
politician-police nexus, honour killings and corruption.
The intention to make this film was good;
however, the execution fails on several counts. Actors such as Rohit Bakhshi
and Ashwini Kalsekar have done a good job. Adhyayan Suman is a let-down despite
having a powerful role. Rati Agnihotri’s character is supposed to be
disoriented, but she seems disinterested. There are a handful number of decent
scenes in the film, in particular, the courtroom drama. However, in entirety,
the film is a let-down and should be avoided.
Anshul Sharma (Rohit Bakhshi) proposes
marriage to Priti Thakur (Ragini Nandwani), an infamous politician’s daughter. Anshul,
his parents, and his brother Aakash (Adhyayan Suman) are eager to have Priti
enter their home as a newly-wed bride. However, Priti’s father and her goony
brother, Vishesh Thakur (Vishal Bhonsle) disapprove of the boy. Vishesh ends up
killing Anshul, leaving everybody else shocked and in disarray. A courtroom
drama ensues. After a few hits and misses, witnesses turning hostile, tampering
of evidence, and the backing out of the lawyer, enters the fiery Advocate
Dipali (Ashwini Kalsekar). The courtroom scenes were pulled of quite well. However,
there is the unnecessary music and the frequent hamming by the cast members.
There are awful films made in the industry, but this one did have potential. The
first-half was bearable, but the second half totally gets on to your nerves.
The heroine of the film had a bad role, and her acting was even worse. Adhyayan should look for another
profession. He does put in good effort, but the results are just not
satisfactory.
‘Dehraadun Diary’ is not a film I would recommend.
Watch out for the actors, Rohit Bakhshi and Ashwini Kalsekar, albeit in other
films!
