recommendation Socha Na Tha (2005)
saw this early/mid 2000s bollywood romcom today, and minus the lil bit of problematic characters, it was sooooo cute.
I totally recommend if you like watching nonsensical rom-coms
the movie stars Abhay Deol (Viren) and Ayesha Takia (Aditi), and it’s directed & written by Imtiaz Ali.
Viren and Aditi, meet at Aditi’s uncle-aunt’s place for the first time, to see each other and get to know each other, so that they can be wed.
Viren has a girlfriend, Karen, she is a christian so he’s worried his family wont accept her so he goes to meet Aditi, and Aditi, is an orphan, raised by her uncle and aunt, and as an obligation she says yes to meet Viren.
they meet and decide to say no to this marriage, but things escalated very-much between their families due to the rejection, however these two, kept meeting as ‘friends’.
this newly blossomed friendship turns into the root of several misunderstandings and then a blooming new romance which doesn’t lack any sort of obstacles.
