But a sudden turn of events creates an unanswered distance between them. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nIt all starts when Payal gets pregnant. It\u2019s an occasion to be happy but instead it creates complications between the couple.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nPayal and Madhav have a different outlook in life because they come from different backgrounds. So this causes a clash of ideas between the couple.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nDelhi- born Payal comes from a wealthy family with modern and eccentric belief about marriage and motherhood. Meanwhile Madhav comes from a middle class more traditional Pune-based family. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nMadhav agrees to marry Payal when hear that she is pregnant because that is the most sensible thing to do.  But she turns him down!<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nSo what follows is a series of incidents testing the fate of their relationship.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nKatti Batti is a rather contemporary romance set in modern day India. It involves a turbulent relationship resulting in separation. But is their love strong enough to bring them back together?<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nThis heartwarming urban story focusing on the Indian culture based on today\u2019s generation has been seen before in films like Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, I Hate Luv Storys and Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nBut the difference with Katti Batti touches the hearts of audiences because it is a slice-of-life film which they can all relate to.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nNikhil Advani is one of the finest storytellers we have in Bollywood. Once again he takes the director\u2019s helm with Katti Batti. So we can very well expect a thought provoking but at the same time entertaining ride as we follow this couple\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nKangana\u2019s popularity with audiences has increased over the years with power packed performances in films like the woman-centric Queen and rom-com Tanu Weds Manu franchise.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nThis time round she pairs up with Imran Khan for the very first time. Imran plays a straight forward easy going guy hopelessly in love with Kangana\u2019s feisty, domineering and impulsive character.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nUnlike other rom-coms the film unfolds at a gradual space but the format is more of a thriller grabbing audiences\u2019 attention from the very first frame.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nThe difference here is that after the couple falls in love, the girl suddenly disappears. This brings about a mystery element on who she is and where she has disappeared to. And that makes the main premise of this film.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nOn the whole fresh pairing of the lead stars and an unusual urban storyline not tackled before in Bollywood makes Katti Batti an interesting watch for cinemagoers keen to see something different.&#13;<\/p>\n<div id=\"__if72ru4sdfsdfruh7fewui_once\" style=\"display:none;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<div id=\"__zsc_once\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Manish Gajjar, Hindi film adviser for Vue Cinemas Film: Katti Batti&#13; Director: Nikhil Advani&#13; Cast: Imran Khan, Kangana Ranaut&#13; Katti Batti is a modern day romance that shows a live-in relationship so common in India these days. &#13; It takes a look into the lives of a young architect Madhav (Imran Khan) and his [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11753,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[74],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11366","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-film-reviews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11366","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11366"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11366\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11753"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11366"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11366"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11366"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
