Her father is a right-wing neta, dead against Live-In relationships and is the protector of Bhartiya Sanskriti. The pair fall in love and the only condition by the heroine is the she wants to live-in before they take the final plunge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this very demand takes them to Gwalior, pestered by nosy aunty and sneaky neighbours before being caught by the hero\u2019s relatives and the confusion ensues. From the falsehood about their marriage to the failed attempts in actually getting married with each other haggled on by their relatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"220\" height=\"317\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ifwworld.com\/dsukhadia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/220px-luka_chuppi_poster-1.webp\" alt=\"image_Deepak Sukhadia\" class=\"wp-image-1324\" style=\"width:1920px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ifwworld.com\/dsukhadia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/220px-luka_chuppi_poster-1.webp 220w, https:\/\/www.ifwworld.com\/dsukhadia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/220px-luka_chuppi_poster-1-208x300.webp 208w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>The star cast starting from Karthik Aaryaan, Kirti Sanon, to the colourfully dressed Pankaj Tripathi, to the Neta\/Father Vinay Pathak and the side kick of the hero Aparshakti Khurana play their parts well. So does the ensemble of actors playing the relatives. The songs in the first half seemed forced and unnecessary. And the real peppy song like Coca-Cola gets wasted in the end credits and Poster Chapwa wasn\u2019t there only. That\u2019s certainly unfair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Movies set in small towns seem to be flavour of the season for Bollywood. So like this genre there is situational comedy, relatives with their own quirkiness, use of local dialect, shot on real location etc. These movies are like the millennium versions of Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chaterjee\u2019s films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What works for me in the movie is the lead pair and their easiness and some of the scenes are really funny. The movie doesn\u2019t real offer anything new what the movies from this genre haven\u2019t offered earlier. But it doesn\u2019t disappoint either.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the sadhus when asked about his take on LIVE-IN says \u201c\u092a\u094d\u0930\u0947\u092e \u0939\u0948 \u0924\u094b \u0938\u092c \u092a\u0935\u093f\u0924\u094d\u0930 \u0939\u0948\u201d, and in another there is this line \u201c\u092e\u0941\u0938\u094d\u0932\u093f\u092e \u0939\u0942\u0901 \u090f\u0932\u093f\u092f\u0928 \u0928\u0939\u0940\u0902\u201d, with some interesting writing this one is light-breezy film, fulfilling the entertainment quotient for the weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This film is set in the small town of Gwalior and Vrindavan and the whole premise hinges on the \u201cModern Concept\u201d of LIVE-IN.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1323,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1321","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cinescope"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ifwworld.com\/dsukhadia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1321","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ifwworld.com\/dsukhadia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ifwworld.com\/dsukhadia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ifwworld.com\/dsukhadia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ifwworld.com\/dsukhadia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1321"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ifwworld.com\/dsukhadia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1321\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1325,"href":"https:\/\/www.ifwworld.com\/dsukhadia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1321\/revisions\/1325"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ifwworld.com\/dsukhadia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ifwworld.com\/dsukhadia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1321"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ifwworld.com\/dsukhadia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1321"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ifwworld.com\/dsukhadia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1321"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
