Rating:

Worried about their single parents growing old alone, Akshay Narang (Vishal Nayak) and Poonam Upadhyay (Sayani Gupta) sign up their respective parents on a matrimony website. Initially hesitant, widower Suneel (Mohit Chauhan) and divorcee Shoma (Charu Rohatgi) agree to get married.

After the wedding, the four of them move in together. The children try their best to get their parents get over their awkwardness. When Suneel and Shoma finally warm up to each other, Akshay and Poonam also end up in bed together! So Akshay tries to get Poonam to talk to him about it, but she does everything to avoid him and even agrees for a hasty arranged marriage.

Frustrated with the situation, Akshay moves in with his friend and Poonam’s ex-boyfriend asks for her hand in marriage. At the same time, there’s the quiet love story brewing in the background of the family cook Bihari (Manjeet Tiger) and the maid, Flower (Nikita More).

How in the world do these complicated love stories turn out?

Second Marriage Dot Com Review: Script Analysis

Gaurav Panjwani and Dinkar Sharma’s story is nice, but a few parts of it seem to be included just for the drama. The story of the ex-girlfriend and boyfriend are just too convenient. The initial discomfort between Suneel and Shoma – at home and in bed – is very well written.

The romance between Bihari and Flower is cute, but you do feel that there’s something missing in their story. The climax, with both the men injured, seems contrived.

Second Marriage Dot Com Review: Star Performances

Sayani Gupta is excellent as Poonam and handles all the emotions very nicely. Vishal Nayak is alright as Akshay, but his character is also not quite well developed. Mohit Chauhan is very good as Suneel while Charu Rohatgi is just as nice as his other half Shoma. Manjeet Tiger performs well as Bihari but Nikita More is not up to the mark as Flower.

Second Marriage Dot Com Review: Direction, Music & Editing

Gaurav Panjwani’s direction is good in the first half but needs a lot to be desired in the first half. It’s a bit irritating to see shots being repeated in the song sequences. Yogesh Sharma’s cinematography is just okay. Gaurav’s editing is alright. Aditya Agarwal and Manan Munjal’s music is really nice.

Second Marriage Dot Com Review: The Last Word

Second Marriage Dot Com is interesting to watch in the first half but gets a bit convoluted towards the end.
