Googly (2019)

Arjun and Dali are a Googly couple who suffer from a stammering problem but soon their lives change after the birth of their son, Googly.

Abhimanyu Mukherjee’s third film Googly follows a similar pattern of his previous film Piya Re, except for the tragic ending. Even if it is possible to bear with the first half of the film, the prolonged melodramatic sequences in the second half don’t have the makings to evoke emotions, rather the desperate attempt to make the audience cry turns out to be futile.

Dali (Srabanti Chatterjee) is ridiculed by her friends and is often left alone in social gatherings because of her speech defect. Her parents are adamant on getting her married. Suitors pay her a visit, only to find out that she stammers and eventually reject her. Dali then decides to not get married but she finds herself trapped again in a matchmaker’s plan.
