The wedding also includes some gate crusher Jaggi aka Joginder (Sunny Kaushal) and his friends who have just come to drink, eat, and drink for free. But when Gautam gives a speech on seeing his grandfather’s ring, Jaggi forgets that he is a gate crusher and reaches to praise the speech, then is caught and thrown out of the marriage.
What a person does not do in love! Jaggi (Sunny Kaushal) is a young lover. He is in love with Kartika (Radhika Madan). In her love, he changes his life. In the hope that one day he will be able to find her. Jaggi feels that Kartika is his soulmate. But his journey of love is not so easy either.

Now Jaggi is caught before going to London and is put in the detention centre. Here in France, Gautam Kapoor appears as a diplomat on behalf of the Indian Foreign Service and comes face-to-face with Jaggi.
Here Jaggi tells him that he has come this far only to meet his love Kartika (Radhika Madan). The story then goes into flashback for 3 months and it is shown how Jaggi met Kartika and both fell in love. Though the story revolves around a dedicated love story, the treatment of the film is completely new and for this the writers’ Sridhar Raghavan and Dheeraj Ratan deserve praise. The dialogues of the film are also good. “If you had not met me in France, I would have met in London, would have met in Germany, would have definitely met you in some village, in some street, because you had to meet me, because you are my luck.” is settled. Apart from this, the humours dialogues are also very antidote.
This film of about two hours and 26 minutes shows the picture of love in the new era, which has been seen in films for many years. The film also gives a glimpse of the problem of illegal migrants in Europe on the pretext of love. Here two stories run parallel. One has Gautam (Mohit Raina) and Ira (Diana Penty).

Who met at the All India Sports Meet in Punjab. Jaggi is a hockey player and Karthika is a swimmer. The point of ‘Baywatch Pose’ comes down to a one-night-stand. Jaggi also expresses love but Karthika’s marriage is fixed in London. Jaggi, who leaves for London without a passport, is caught in France, where Gautam is an officer in the Indian embassy. What will happen when Gautam and Jaggi come face to face? The love experience of both is completely different. One cannot walk forty steps to save love and the other has crossed hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
Review and Analysis
‘Shiddat’ is an obsessive love story, which is mainly woven according to the story’s hero Jaggi. His passion is like madness and enough time has been given to take this to the hearts and minds of the audience. The first half of the film is completely focused on campus romance. There is flirt in it, there is a lot of dancing and singing. However, the one thing that keeps you in check is the curiosity as to what is going to happen next in this love story.
Director Kunal Deshmukh did not let the film slow down, twists after turns kept coming and despite being a romantic drama film, there were no chances to take your eyes off the screen. But the ending turned out to be very absurd due to over twisting and the special last 7 minutes worked to push the film from the top of the mountain to the ditch. In the account of praise, the bags of the person who wrote the character of Sunny Kaushal ‘Jaggi Sehgal’ should also be filled because this character is such that it gets the heart, it initially seems like Azhel, Badtameez, cheap, unyielding, overconfident but slowly. – Slowly falls in love with this character.
There are not many characters in ‘Shiddat’. But whatever they are, they are well prepared. There is a lack of faith in the story of Mohit Raina and Diana Penty. He is just around the main story of the film as a support. The complication in Sunny Kaushal’s character is that he is an obsessive lover, around whom there are few boundaries. Still he gives his best to prove himself. However, his character graph is so fluctuating that it becomes difficult to believe him after some time. Radhika Madan falters in showing Kartika’s inner struggle on screen. His struggle is clearly visible. The casting of Mohit Raina in the character of Gautam is good. He plays an immigration lawyer. Diana Penty looks beautiful in her character. However, his character could have been refined a bit more. As a love story, the music of Sachin-Jigar in ‘Shiddat’ is above average. It fascinates you while watching the movie. Amalendu Choudhary’s cinematography also impresses.
Shiddat Movie Review: Star Performances
Shiddat is a Bollywood-style romance, in which a simple boy has been given the style of Shahrukh. Sunny Kaushal has done it well. Although his style is not that of a romantic hero. He will be remembered here because he has shamelessly exposed his ‘butt’. Radhika does not impress much in Madan Love Story. Expressions of love do not emerge easily in their faces. Her body language is not that of romantic heroines. Mohit Raina definitely performs well and he is fit in his character. Diana Penty supports them shoulder to shoulder. The supporting characters in the film are not strong and special tracks were not even written for them in this long film. Shiddat moves forward with romance, talks big about love and disappoints badly in the climax. Here the writer-director gets spoiled.
Shiddat Movie Review: The Last Verdict
While writing and making the film, the writer-director knows that he is putting the hangover of DDLJ in a newly designed bottle, so in order to do something different and innovate than that, he creates such a weak climax, which is completely out of the frame of the story. drops out. If there is no strong villain in the midst of love, then that story is incomplete. This incompleteness can be seen completely in shiddat. If you are a staunch fan of romantic movies then only you will love Shiddat Ki Mohabbat. The camera work of the film is good and the songs and music are also like listening. But due to lack of story and screenplay becomes weak.
