Qalb is the third film of director Sajid Yahiya. It is also another take on the Romeo and Juliet formula. Yes, love can be very cheesy when you’re in it. But even cheesiness has that guilty pleasure relatability which makes them hits. However, Sajid Yahiya and co-writer Suhail M Koya had higher ambitions for Qalb they wanted it to be profound and aching too. Well, they got the “pain” part right alright, but unfortunately what caused that pain was 150 minutes of cringe-inducing dialogues.
Our hero Leo Kaalpo lives in a coastal area in Alappuzha where he runs a café with his father. He has his own gang of friends who are all male, by the way; and Kaalpo’s plan is to marry some foreigner settle there in her European country (or countries). But then this new girl named Thumbi comes into the neighborhood suddenly, and Kaalpo falls for her what happens between them two (which includes ups and downs) forms rest of Qalb.
At one point during intermission I heard somebody from back row mumble: “We atleast got free tickets; think about others.” I’m one of those others, and honestly speaking, it touched me how empathetic that stranger sounded just then. The cringe was on such different levels that by now I’m actually trying to find synonyms for word ‘cringe’ so as to avoid repeating it so often throughout my review. Everything needs to be made cinematic & slow-motion by Sajid; so he’s just inserting moments after moments many sequences here half first don’t have any major purpose except looking damn cool on screen or something like that only! Hero chasing train on bike so that he can travel with his crush was among many facepalm situations from this movie.
