Set in the by-lanes of Chandigarh, the film narrates the story of a gym co-owner and bodybuilder, Manu Munjal, who is desperate to create a splash in the fitness world and dreams to win the coveted title. He fails in his quest and his family pressurizes him to join the family business and get settled. Maanvi, a lissome, charming girl, and Zumba Trainer walk into his life. Manu feels an instant attraction, sparks fly, chemistry blossoms and soon, they find themselves in the middle of a torrid romantic affair, painting the town red with their newfound, raw, irresistibly intense cascading love for each other. A startling revelation brings his life to a grinding halt and an enormous confession throws off their relationship to hit rock-bottom. This propels Manu into a journey of self-discovery and surpass barriers to embrace the love of his life and in the process accomplish his long-lasting dream. The film attempts to present a never-before-seen love story that also raises unsettling questions about society's tainted notions of love and the prevalent toxic masculinity. At its heart, the film is a heartfelt celebration of one's own individuality and love in all its colors and forms!

Ayushmann Khurrana, Chandigarh boy for real, is right at home in his bristly-brawny-softie Manu. Vaani Kapoor’s svelte certified physical trainer with a troubled past takes you back to the flash of promise she had shown...

Simplistic and sanitised but also laudable and necessary.

Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui is a conversation starter about a taboo subject and it takes a large heart and enormous amounts of guts to take such a leap of faith.

[It] embraces the right line of thinking - full marks to the writers and the director on that score - and runs with it for a while and then lets it slip out of its grasp. By the time it gets to the finishing line, it is back to square one.

Rated: 2.5/5

Good topic but the movie dragged at times. Could easily take away 30-45 minutes without losing any substantive part.

Watch this for it's uniqueness and decent writing. Concept relatively untouched in Indian films, so nice to see something fresh. Of course a lot of stereotypes in this one, and runtime could've been lesser, but it's an Indian film, so songs have to be there.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
