Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story (2025) is a romantic comedy directed by Kunal Kohli, featuring Vardhaan Puri as Rishi and Kaveri Kapur as Bobby. The film begins with a chance encounter at an airport, where flights are canceled due to a volcanic ash cloud. Seizing the opportunity, Rishi and Bobby decide to explore the picturesque city of Cambridge together. As they wander through the scenic locales, their conversations delve into life, love, and personal philosophies, leading to a budding romance. However, Bobby’s recent heartbreak makes her wary of commitment, introducing a subtle tension to their evolving relationship.
The narrative structure draws inspiration from classics like Before Sunrise and Kohli’s own Hum Tum, focusing on character-driven dialogues and the complexities of modern relationships. Despite the film’s sincere performances and beautiful cinematography capturing Cambridge’s charm, critics have noted that the lack of a strong conflict hampers the overall impact. The dialogues oscillate between forced banter and moments of depth, reflecting the protagonists’ internal struggles. While the film offers a fresh take on the romantic genre, it has received mixed reviews, with some appreciating its heartfelt approach and others pointing out its narrative shortcomings.
