Mitron Movie Review: A rom-com film made from the heart, with a set of flaws of its own.

At a wedding, a rich businessman (Mohan Kapur) asks Raunak (Pratik Gandhi) the typical question, 'Tum karte kya ho?' To which the young lad all calm and composed, introduces himself as a writer who is currently penning a book named 'Mind your business'! Well, it's Sharib Hashmi's crackling lines and Pratik Gandhi's poker-faced humour that keep Mitron quite light-hearted and engaging.

The first half is almost strong, as the story keeps your attention glued as it unfolds. But in the second half, with a wafer-thin plot that is extremely guessable, the film dips. It’s like a boring story that an elderly relative will narrate and you want to leave the room when that happens. The songs only work to elongate the suffering. Attempts like recreating Lata Mangeshkar’s 'Chalte Chalte' fall flat. Gujarat as the backdrop adds nothing to the plot. The city is not treated as a character as the story focuses strictly on the love and economic conditions of the two leading characters.

Performances by Jai’s friends, debutant actors Pratik Gandhi and Shivam Parekh stand out. Pratik, especially as the cocky loser, makes for some great comic relief. Kritika Kamra plays her part well as a strong woman who is vulnerable when it comes to matters of the heart. She makes the time she is on screen count. Jackky Bhagnani who is back on the celluloid after a gap has a better grip on his acting skills and seems tailor-made for the role of Jai. While Mitron is quite predictable in terms of the plot, it's Nitin Kakkar's treatment to the script which brings in a certain sense of freshness. This time, he is back with yet another light-hearted story minus all the glitz. 

A little more focus on the depth of the characters would have created a larger impact. With an extremely guessable plot and a not enough laughs to match, Mitron is a film you would recommend to those friends you want to get back at! But somehow, it ends up leaving you with a warm feeling and most importantly, a big, wide grin!
