Actress Neha Dhupia, who was last seen on the big screen opposite Ajay Devgn in De De Pyaar De, is ready to return to the small screen with Single Papa, the directorial debut of Shashank Khaitan. Focusing on the brief joys and trials of life as well, with an emoji riding daughter and best friends giving each other the finger, the film seems to pack a powerful punch. Production still via SXSW Between the mix of candid fun and sweetness with the worries of contemporary childrearing, in this age, that forms. One of the fest’s most lauded and chased after narrative features to come already closes out today’s shorts program.
One single Papa, One Single Papa definitely sounds like a movement enough to be an inspiring, goal-directed tale of the single dad life, following all the psychic corniness and sandpaper unpleasantness of your up-and-down journey that is unmarried pop dominating, with Kunal Kemmu allegedly attached to headline because the primary papa. Having built a foundational career that’s already successfully fleshed out his innate comic timing and vulnerability, Khemu seems like the ideal casting for a man torn between the needs of duty, age, and love. Only one thing about this film seems completely unprecedented, and that’s the casting of actress Neha Dhupia her ticking-clock persona ensures an erratic zap and grim snap. Whatever role she occupies as a co-parent, third-act confidante, and advisor to the hero, or more involved and complicated love interest, her inclusion is sure to introduce even greater complexity, sizzle, danger, and badassitude to the narrative.
Helmed by Khaitan, who’s found the sweet spot between escapism and pain in Indian blockbusters such as Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Dhadak, you’d be right to assume that this film doesn’t just walk the line between the two it makes a hard commitment to being both. Anchored by an interesting premise and a charming lead pair, Single Papa seems like an emotional crowd-pleaser that will delight families of all shapes and sizes, full of laughs and heart.
