Love, Sitara

Love, Sitara: A Wedding Drama That's More ‘Meh’ than ‘Wow’!

Sobhita Dhulipala's latest film promises wedding fever but leaves audiences craving for more! Is it a hit or a miss?

Get your popcorn ready as we dive nose-first into the wedding blues that are plaguing 'Love, Sitara', the latest offering from Zee5, featuring the talented Sobhita Dhulipala alongside Rajeev Siddhartha. Set against the backdrop of a picturesque Kerala wedding, this family drama seems to have all the ingredients for a heartwarming saga. Past family secrets, love, and the classic pre-wedding jitters; yes, it ticks all the boxes, but does it deliver? Unfortunately, the film skids off track with a hurried narrative that leaves audiences scratching their heads and desperately seeking some emotional depth.

'Love, Sitara' attempts to capture the chaos of modern relationships while attempting to juggle feminist themes and family dynamics. Sadly, it feels more like an unfinished puzzle, with the pieces not quite fitting together. Sobhita’s character, Tara, introduces us to her dysfunctional family with sincerity, yet it often feels like we're watching a rehearsal rather than the final cut. While the interactions hold promise, they get lost in an avalanche of melodrama that seems ultimately unconvincing.

As social media buzzes with mixed reviews, many viewers feel the same frustration; a few laughs and warm moments sprinkled throughout can't hide the film's lack of focus. Poking fun at family dynamics is always a hit or miss, and while Sonali Kulkarni brings her A-game, the overall result is lukewarm at best. What the film really misses is that juicy, engaging punch that keeps audiences at the edge of their seats, laughing and crying in equal measure.

In a world where family dramas often turn into tear-jerking sagas, ‘Love, Sitara’ takes a swing but doesn't connect properly. It trivializes profound experiences into mere storyboarding, leaving us desiring more substantial content. On a lighter note, did you know that Sobhita Dhulipala is also a trained classical dancer? Her talent beyond acting adds layers to her performances, which makes you wonder how she might have elevated this film. Besides, considering how weddings often become a source of stress, let’s give it a giggle that perhaps the only drama we need is just the right amount of wedding cake!
