The biggest question that comes to one’s mind is a doubt if a lone Vidya Balan can salvage this bold extramarital theme. We are talking about ‘Do Aur Do Pyaar’. It seems like the Hindi film industry is experiencing a bit of a lull after the excitement of the recent ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’ that set a high bar, and it’s understandable that subsequent releases might struggle to match that level of anticipation and engagement. It’s unfortunate that upcoming films like ‘Luv You Shankar’, ‘The Legacy of Jineshwar’, and ‘Main Ladega’ aren’t generating much attention.

Regarding this week’s releases, ‘Do Aur Do Pyaar’ and ‘Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2’, it’s disappointing to hear that ‘LSD2’ isn’t living up to expectations. However, ‘Do Aur Do Pyaar’ seems to be facing its own challenges despite a talented cast including the ever dependable Vidya Balan, and an exploration of bold themes like extramarital affairs. The lack of buzz, memorable music, and bankable faces could be contributing factors to its struggles at the box office.

Pratik Gandhi’s success with ‘Madgaon Express’ might have set certain expectations, and audiences may not be ready to see him in roles that don’t align with their comedic expectations. Similarly, Ileana D’Cruz’s absence from the limelight might impact her ability to draw audiences, despite her talent. Vidya Balan, with her track record and recent work, appears to be the sole attraction for ‘Do Aur Do Pyaar’.

It’s a challenging time for films that deviate from the norm, especially when attention spans are shorter, and audiences are more inclined towards familiar and easily digestible content. Hopefully, as the industry evolves, there will be more space for experimentation and acceptance of unconventional narratives.
