Shirsha Guha Thakurta’s Do Aur Do Pyaar takes a fresh approach to the concept of infidelity, starting with a setup that subverts expectations.
The film follows two couples, Kavya (Vidya Balan) and Vikram (Sendhil Ramamurthy), and Ani (Pratik Gandhi) and Nora (Ileana D’Cruz). Initially presented as married, Kavya and Ani are later revealed to be having an affair.
Through their experiences, Do Aur Do Pyaar explores the complexities of love, marriage, and infidelity. It raises questions about whether societal expectations and pressures can stifle love, and whether the institution of marriage itself can be a barrier to authentic relationships.
The film also challenges traditional gender roles, with Kavya depicted as an independent and self-sufficient woman who refuses to conform to societal norms. Her journey of self-discovery and empowerment adds a feminist perspective to the narrative.
Do Aur Do Pyaar does not glorify infidelity but presents it as a multifaceted issue with no easy answers. It encourages viewers to look beyond judgment and consider the underlying reasons and emotions that drive people to seek love outside of their primary relationships.
Ultimately, the film celebrates self-acceptance, communication, and the ability to grow and evolve as individuals, regardless of marital status.
