Luka Chuppi (2019) is a Hindi romantic comedy directed by Laxman Utekar, featuring Kartik Aaryan as Guddu, a television reporter, and Kriti Sanon as Rashmi, the daughter of a conservative politician. Set in the small town of Mathura, the film explores the complexities of live-in relationships in a traditional society. Guddu and Rashmi decide to test their compatibility by living together before marriage, leading to a series of comedic situations when their families mistakenly believe they are already married. The narrative humorously tackles themes of societal norms, moral policing, and the clash between modern relationships and traditional values.

Critics have offered mixed reviews of the film. The Times of India praised it as a “clean entertainer with a message that’s not too loud, but clear, for sure,” highlighting its situational comedy and the chemistry between the leads. Conversely, The Indian Express criticized it as a “wasted opportunity,” pointing out that the film’s attempt to address societal hypocrisies falls short due to inconsistent writing. Despite the varied critiques, Luka Chuppi offers a light-hearted take on contemporary relationships, making it an engaging watch for audiences seeking a blend of humor and social commentary.
