Mumbai, Feb 10 (Ians) Actors Prajakta Koli, Shikha Talsania, Adhaar Khurana and Chaitnya Sharma among many others are all set to star in ‘Taming of the Shrew’ adaptation ‘Yeh Shaadi Nahi Ho Sakti’.
Drenched in 90s nostalgia, it is directed by Akarsh Khurana. The central conflict of the plot is that love birds Lakshman (Chaitnya Sharma) and Priya (Prajakta Koli) cannot marry each other till the latter’s elder sister Pallavi (Shikha Talsania) gets married. Lakshman then devises a hilarious plan and tries to get Pallavi hitched to an eligible Nri groom (Adhaar Khurana). What follows is absolute mayhem, endless fun, and impossible wedding moments.
Akarsh Khurana says, “Some stories are just an absolute joy to tell, and ‘Yeh Shaadi Nahi Ho Sakti’ was one such project from the very beginning. The cast and crew and I absolutely loved blending the colourful quirks of the 90s with the comedic genius of Shakespeare,...

Starring Irrfan, Dulquer Salman, Introducing Mithila Palkar
Directed by Akarsh Khurana
Life’s like that. It takes some weird twists and turns to finally put you on the right road. Of course the “right” is often the wrong for some of us.
In a sequence that would have been profoundly amusing if it were not so tragic a beautiful lady looks at two coffins and tells Dulquer, “The right one is your father.”
“So far,” sighs Dulquer, “the right one was the wrong one for me.”
Well, ha ha to that.
Excavating humour from the innards of mortality is never easy. Writer-Director Akarsh Khurana attempts the near-impossible and comes up with a film that never offends, even when it poses some serious problems of pacing.
You know that the film is looking for ways to keep the journey going when there are unnecessary detours on the way. And why not?...
