Manmarziyaan is a 2018 Bollywood romantic drama film directed by Anurag Kashyap. The film tells the story of Rumi (played by Taapsee Pannu), a free-spirited and impulsive young woman from Amritsar who is torn between two men - her passionate yet unreliable boyfriend Vicky (played by Vicky Kaushal) and responsible and stable husband-to-be Robbie (played by Abhishek Bachchan).
Rumi and Vicky are in a passionate but tumultuous relationship, fueled by their shared love for music and their refusal to conform to societal norms. However, their relationship takes a hit when Rumi's family finds out about their affair and forces Vicky to either marry Rumi or leave her alone. While Vicky is hesitant to commit to marriage, Rumi sees it as the only way to prove her love for him.
Enter Robbie, an NRI whom Rumi's family has arranged for her to marry. Robbie is everything Vicky is not - responsible, calm, and committed to building a stable life with Rumi. Despite her initial resistance to the idea, Rumi agrees to marry Robbie, hoping to find stability and peace in her life.
The film explores the complex dynamics of love and relationships, and the conflicts that arise from societal and familial pressures. The performances are top-notch, with Taapsee Pannu delivering a standout performance as the conflicted and passionate Rumi. The music by Amit Trivedi is also a highlight of the film, perfectly capturing the intense emotions of the characters. Overall, Manmarziyaan is a beautifully crafted film that offers a nuanced and realistic portrayal of modern relationships.
