Punit Khanna directorial Ginny Weds Sunny stars Vikrant Massey and Yami Gautam as a potential couple who are looking for love. Take a look at the two-minute-long trailer of Netflix’s upcoming wedding-themed romantic comedy.
The trailer of Netflix's upcoming film Ginny Weds Sunny is out and about. The film starring Yami Gautam and Vikrant Massey is a rom-com that is directed by Puneet Khanna and written by Navjot Gulati and Sumit Arora.
Going by the two-and-a-half-minute long trailer, the film is about Ginny (Yami) and Sunny (Vikrant) who are looking for a perfect match for themselves. Ginny's mother wants her to settle down, she wants to have a love marriage. Then enters Sunny who falls in love with Ginny and vows to woo her. Meanwhile, Ginny is confused to make a choice among her boyfriends.
The film is all set to release on October 9. The trailer also features several songs but the one which caught our attention was the recreated version of Mika Singh's iconic Sawan Mein lag Gayi Aag.
Meanwhile, talking about her character Yami said, “It was a blast playing Ginny as she is a headstrong girl, not letting anyone or anything ever let her down,” On the other hand, Vikrant spoke about his role saying, “While he cooks great dishes in the kitchen, life does not have the perfect recipe in store for Sunny.
He wants to get married but the challenge of winning over Ginny is more formidable than he signs up for. I play a quintessential Punjabi boy from Delhi in the film, which was a first for me.”
Apart from Yami and Vikrant, the film also stars Ayesha Raza, among others. This film also marks to be Vikrant's third Netflix project consecutively. He was previously seen in sci-fi drama Cargo and Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare.
During the lockdown, Netflix has churned out many Hindi films which include Nawazuddin Siddiqui's Raat Akeli Hai, Anushka Sharma's home production Bulbbul, Janhvi Kapoor’s Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, and more.
The Ginny Weds Sunny soundtrack is a lot like Mithoon’s album for Khuda Haafiz, which was released in August. The composers are neither breaking new ground nor embarrassing themselves while trying to pull off something as basic as a Hindi rom-com album with a smattering of Punjabi.
Directed by Puneet Khanna, the movie stars Yami Gautam and Vikrant Massey. Singer Payal Dev is credited with composing three songs. Two of these are older hits reworked, which are such fun that you wish Tanishk Bagchi would retire.
LOL is the name of the wedding song inspired by the Punjabi folk tune Jind Maahi, which gave us Teri Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (Suhaag, 1979) and Paape Pyaar Karke (Pyaar Ke Side Effects, 2006). LOL is a fine study in how to let a tune do the talking and calm down on the production. But that feat needs good tunes in the first place.
Payal Dev also reworks Mika Singh’s 1990s hit Sawan Mein Lag Gayi Aag. Singh has created another version for the upcoming Indoo Ki Jawani. Dev’s take is better. She plants the tune on a pulsating beat, but mindfully eschews sonic stunts. For a change, Neha Kakkar doesn’t make you reach for the skip button.
The best part about Dev’s recreations is that the bits she composed are almost as good as the hooks she has borrowed. Dev had previously composed the melodramatic but excellent torch song Tum Hi Aana in Marjaavaan (2019). Dev reunites with lyricist Kunaal Vermaa and singer Jubin Nautiyal for the similarly pathos-packed Phir Chala.
The one song that’s the least bit ambitious is Gaurav Chatterji’s Phoonk Phoonk. He smoothly merges a Punjabi wedding song with a Sufi rock. Chatterji’s melody never sags throughout this mostly cheerful number, which is melancholic for a while before returning to base. The crisp production could fool someone into thinking this is a Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy product.
Rubaru is composed of Jaan Nissar Lone. It deals with the heartache of estranged lovers but is never cloyingly sentimental like the sort of stuff you hear in Vishesh Films productions. It kicks off like a John Mayer song. You hope Nikhil D’Souza will start singing around a campfire. When Khan’s folksy voice appears and eases into these heartland blues, it’s a pleasant surprise.
