100 Days of Love (2015)

A Malayalam Romantic movie that had a promising start but by end left a unsatisfied feel.

the story starts with our main character B.K.N. (), who tells the audience about the story being his 100 days countdown to his love. day one starts with his worst day of life getting fired and going into a drunk rant on Facebook because of his ex girlfriend. on such a bad day the glimmer of hope comes in form of a strangers smile, the owner of this smile was a lady Sheela (), he meets while trying to catch a cab. before he realised she left in the cab a left a old camera behind. he develops the photos and tries to find her using the photos as clues. after getting some headway on the photos, he finally hits a dead end. this is where fate intervenes and he finds her by chance, here is the big twist given to us that they know each other in childhood as be has once bullied her, and she had taken revenge against him. but having left past behind they start again as friends. we get to know that Sheela has a boyfriend and B.K witnessing the proposal of the boyfriend to Sheela causes him to go into a drunken proposal mode for Sheela. Finally telling her she would be happier with him. realising she has feeling for B.K she breaks the engagement with her boyfriend and goes off with B.K.

now this was a story line that had so much potential as it started it felt interesting and unique but near after the intermission the things started to fall apart, the search with photos basically lead nowhere, and to me that was the best aspect of the movie which seemed not properly explored. the sudden and unjustified change in the feelings also feels so forced though not entirely unheard in such Indian movies but still it sticks out like a sore thumb.

i would recommend this movie as a romantic movie worth watching as time pass, as it isn’t as bad as i might try to imply. there are fun moments that do keep it enjoyable.
