Sonam and Rajkumar makes this average movie watchable..
Spoilers ahead…
Story revolves around Dolly (Sonam Kapoor) who believes in fake marriages, and running away with belongings of groom and their family on the 1st night of marriage, and therefore named as Looteri Dulhan. She is accompanied in it by her team that includes a acting brother Raju (Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub) who actually loves her. But Dolly has a past story too behind this profession.
First time director Abhishek Dogra hits the right note with the start of movie, with Dolly’s victim Sonu (Rajkumar Rao), a haryanvi guy wanting to have romantic time with her, only getting denied as Dolly believes in marriage first. Even the hunt to get the next bakra Manjot (Varun Sharma) is well done.
Where the film actually misses out badly is, not trying to explore more out of Dolly-Raju subplot which was almost untouched. Infact it was surprising to see Raju first express his feelings, then betray Dolly in jail, and then return to team up with her again. Another plot that film didn’t work out was Sonu’s return to life of Dolly when she marries Varun. Inspite of all what Dolly did to him, Sonu still had love for her and wanted her back, but again we hardly see much story in that regards.
Instead we get the monotonous, another bakra and this time getting caught scenario that has Saif in a special appearance. The climax was a let down too, the message of ‘this is what I love and is good at, even though knowing it is bad’ was kinda of ridiculous.
The title song is hilarious, a montage of uncountable guys Dolly marries and runs away from.
Sonam Kapoor gives a good performance, which is expected as these roles are tailor-made for her.
Varun Sharma still had the hangover of Fukrey. Pulkit Samrat appeared like he was made to watch Salman’s Dabangg before started shooting and he forgot he was playing a new cop character.
Rajkumar Rao was superb in his haryanvi accent, wish his character had more significance in 2nd half though. There is a surprise moment in terms of his excellent dance you see for 1st time (whose glimpse we have already seen in one of song from 'Gangs of Wasseypur II').
Special mention to the lady whose only dialogue in movie is ‘beti de di, sab kuch de diya’, too funny.
Dolly ki Doli could had been a very good film, but average scripting and casting lets the film down. Still, it has some good moments involving Sonam and Rajkumar mainly.
Verdict : 2.5/5
