It is left to Ajay Devgn and Tabu to save this predictable old man-loves-young girl fare.

00:05 Hello, welcome to Outlook.
00:09 You are watching Matinee Idol with Giridhar Jha, our weekly post-mortem of the latest
00:13 Bollywood releases.
00:14 Today, I will tell you why you should or should not watch Ajay Devgn's latest release,
00:20 De De Pyar De.
00:21 De De Pyar De is a story about a 50-year-old investment banker living in London who falls
00:27 in love with a girl half his age.
00:31 How he brings that girl to India to meet his separated family members and how all hell
00:36 breaks loose after that, this story is all about.
00:40 The problem with Bollywood that it has never been comfortable making movies on this theme.
00:46 It has either ended up making a misogynistic, sexist movie or a slapstick comedy.
00:54 This treatment has never been sensitive, although this film is saved by the stellar performance
00:59 by Tabu and Ajay Devgn, who are brilliant in this movie.
01:03 Also, Rakul Preet Singh, who is playing the young girl in this movie, has done well.
01:07 Ajay Devgn and Tabu have been very particular in choosing their roles over the years and
01:13 that's why they have had such a prolonged career in Bollywood.
01:17 This film is no different.
01:18 That shows they are still choosing roles which are different from their last movies and that
01:25 is why they have still remained in contention.
01:28 De De Pyar De is not a great movie, but you should remember that it has come from the
01:34 template on which producer Love Ranjan has been making this movie.
01:38 Though this film has been directed by Aqib Ali, it has all the unmistakable stamp of
01:43 Love Ranjan's movies which have been accused of being misogynistic and sexist.
01:49 Still, if you want to spend 134 minutes in fun for some humor, overlooking some of the
01:56 glaring weaknesses of this movie, then you can watch this movie.
02:01 I will give it 2 stars.

02:06 Thank you very much.
