Story: A young boy possesses an unusual gift—every girl he kisses ends up getting married within days. Turning this strange power into a business opportunity, he teams up with his enterprising uncle to start a marriage bureau. But things take a turn when the girl of his dreams walks in… looking for a groom.
Review: ‘Pappiyon ka Vicky Donor,’ Prashant ‘Pintu’ Jaiswal (Sushant), is a hapless young man cursed with a bizarre fate—every time he kisses a girlfriend, she ends up marrying someone else soon after. Turning this strange curse into an opportunity, he teams up with his jugaadu mama (Ganesh Acharya) to start a marriage bureau called Shaadi Pakki.
What follows is a comedy of errors filled with hilarious situations, including a run-in with a quirky goon, Jaggu Dada (Vijay Raaz), who insists on being kissed by Pintu so he can finally get married. Things get complicated when Pintu falls for a client, Prerna aka Pappi (Jaanyaa Joshi), the daughter of a local politician (Murli Sharma). But kissing her could mean losing her to someone else. The rest of the story unfolds around whether Pintu can finally break his curse and find his happily-ever-after with Pappi.
Written by Anadi Sufi and co-written and directed by Shiv Hare, this comedy caper is packed to the brim with inane puns and scattered subplots that often feel unnecessary. Outlandish characters—like the overly effeminate sidekicks—are forcefully inserted into the storyline, making the narrative feel chaotic. Although the film runs for just two hours and fifteen minutes, it feels longer than it is, occasionally managing to entertain with brief moments of humor and engagement. The production quality, action sequences, and Ajay Pandey’s cinematography enhance the film’s visual appeal. While the action sometimes feels force-fitted, the choreography is handled fairly well. Emotional scenes, however, lack depth, and much of the dialogue comes across as unnecessarily loud.
Sushant is natural and sincere as Pintu, while Jaanya Joshi brings a likeable charm to her role. Ganesh Acharya delivers a decent performance but tends to overdo emotional moments. Vijay Raaz nails the Malwi accent and character nuances, while Viidhi Yadav leaves a mark with her screen presence.
Pintu Ki Pappi has a quirky premise and a few genuinely amusing moments, but it struggles under the weight of its chaotic storytelling and over-the-top characters.
