Atrangi Re Review: Sara Ali Khan Is Suitably Spry But Dhanush Steals The Show

Atrangi Re Review: The gossamer-thin storyline strains credibility but that is the least of the film's problems. It also takes an appallingly cavalier stance on mental trauma and its long-term effects.

Cast: Sara Ali Khan, Dhanush, Akshay Kumar, Ashish Verma, Dimple Hayathi, Seema Biswas

Director: Aanand L Rai

Rating: 2 stars (out of 5)

Aanand L. Rai's Atrangi Re has an unusual premise all right. But try as hard as it and A.R. Rahman's lively musical score may, the love story is unable to convert its pivotal plot twist into anything more than a single-trick show. The gossamer-thin storyline strains credibility. But that is the least of the film's problems. It also takes an appallingly cavalier stance on mental trauma and its long-term effects.
