Mukammal Jahan

By Shikha Mahajan with 6.6

romance · Short Films · hindi

One of the most notable strengths of the film is its casting of two very endearing actors as its leads, Lahar and Deepak. Essentially, the story is a simple conversation about the past and fond memories that two people share over a cup of coffee following a chance encounter. It is then the actors and their characters that suffuse a new life into the narrative with their chemistry and sweetness.

Having run into each other after a long gap of several years, the two reminisce about their old crushes on each other, and their shared, related memories. They have come a long way since childhood, with one of them following the career path of her heart's desire by running a cafe, while the other's true goals waiting to be revealed a little later in the film.

The story remains involving and unexpected throughout, along with being consistent with these two attributes till the very end. There is also the endeavor of adding poetry to the storytelling to further enhance it, eventually leaving the viewer with an honest, and sincere completed whole.
