Mitron Story: A carefree loser and a headstrong woman are brought together by destiny. How the two overcome their overbearing parents and chart the course of their lives is what the film is about
Mitron Review: Jay (Jackky Bhagnani) is so laid back and carefree that he literally won’t even lift a pen if he’s not meant to. Avni (Kritika Kamra) is a girl who will make him do it. It’s clear that the two don’t have much in common besides their middle-class backgrounds and the fact that their parents are extremely bossy and want to get them married as soon as possible. While Avni’s parents are more realistic when it comes to being parent-like, for the sake of comedy, Jai’s parents, his dad especially, is shown as so overbearing that it seems unreal. At times, even the jokes don’t stick. While Neeraj Sood, as the dad, has some genuinely funny moments, his character is perennially at the edge of his narrow seat which gets too much.
The first half is almost strong, as the story keeps your attention glued as it unfolds. But in the second half, with a wafer-thin plot that is extremely guessable, the film dips. It’s like a boring story that an elderly relative will narrate and you want to leave the room when that happens. The songs only work to elongate the suffering. Attempts like recreating Lata Mangeshkar’s 'Chalte Chalte' fall flat. Gujarat as the backdrop adds nothing to the plot. The city is not treated as a character as the story focuses strictly on the love and economic conditions of the two leading characters.
Performances by Jai’s friends, debutant actors Pratik Gandhi and Shivam Parekh stand out. Pratik, especially as the cocky loser, makes for some great comic relief. Kritika Kamra plays her part well as a strong woman who is vulnerable when it comes to matters of the heart. She makes the time she is on screen count. Jackky Bhagnani, on the other hand, does not. His is a very flat, one-dimensional performance.
With an extremely guessable plot and a not enough laughs to match, Mitron is a film you would recommend to those friends you want to get back at!
