Review of Abhay Deol and Preeti Desai Bollywood Film One By 2:

Amit Sharma (Abhay Deol) is an easy going man has given into the mundane and has absolutely no qualms about leading a boring life. On the other hand, his girlfriend, Samara Patel (Preeti Desai) finds no end to her frustration after failing to make a mark as a dancer. How the two take the path of self discovery is what forms the rest of the film. With a very simply laid plot, ‘One By Two’ tracks down the lives of two protagonists, each caught up in their cobwebs in life, each wanting to get another step closer to the ultimate dream. What both of them lack, in their own distinct ways is the go-getter attitude and confidence to take over the big bad world. Isn’t that the case with most of us? The director effortlessly weaves the similarities in her characters with the stark differences in their personalities which is what makes the plot line so endearing to watch. The subtle undertone of the uncertainties that cloud the minds of most of the youth today is brilliantly dealt with. At no point does the director let the dialogues and treatment of the subject cross the line and sound preachy.

By the looks of it, ‘One By Two’ may not pull as much crowd as others written by Devika Bhagat like ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’ and ‘Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl’, but one just cannot ignore the luster ‘One By Two’ holds. It doesn’t boast of the Salman Khan masala, nor does it pretend to be a SRK romance. Staying to true to what it is, the film delivers what it promises and reaches out to its audiences even more. The characters are well etched and realistic. No melodrama, no sensationalism – only what you see I nthe real world. The way the director builds on the equations the two protagonists share make the confusion in their minds almost palpable. The theme is bound to remind you of Ayan Mukherjee’s ‘Wake Up Sid’ but by the end of the film, Devika Bhagat, the director manages to hold her own show. The effort is brilliant to say the least.

Talking of the performances, Abhay Deol delivers one of the best performances of his career so far. He seems to be tailor made for the role of a laid back, confused guy. Known for being very selective, Abhay Deol shows genuine compassion towards the character he plays and delves deep into its skin. For a newcomer, Preeti Desai is nothing short of a revelation. We’re glad she took to films for this is where she belongs it seems. She is a charmer all the way.

The music by Shankar Ehsaan And Loy grows on you as the film progresses. With such renowned credibility, there is only a little we can say in praise of the trio. If Devika Bhagat juggles take the film on three dimensions, Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy ass a fourth one with the perfect music.

Final Verdict of One By Two Film: We would recommend ‘One By Two’ to everyone for it reflects the psyche of the young and the ambitious perfectly well. Of course, it’s flawed but the sincerity with which it is made comes across beautifully. If you’re the kinds looking for light-hearted, feel-good cinema, ‘One By Two’ may just make it to your list of favourite movies. (MXP)
