Watched Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety for the 3rd time with a group of girls and this is when I realized how Kartik Aaryan is one ultra-underrated actor for Bollywood. Started his journey with Pyaar Ka Punchnama and now life has come a full circle with his latest release for this charming lad.

A little backstory to what is going to come: I must be one of those few people who actually watched Pyaar Ka Punchnama in a theatre and much before it gained this cult status over the years. Ironically that movie was unplanned as I was supposed to watch Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides but the show got full. So my group decided to watch any movie instead and we ended up choosing this unheard film (back then) – Pyaar Ka Punchanama.

Till date, I still consider that decision to be one of the best in the journey of my love for Bollywood movies. I watched Pyaar Ka Punchnama 6 times in 3 different cities and 5 different cinema halls with every possible friend I was on speaking terms with. Each time I came out loving many things but one which was common to all was – Kartik Aaryan.

His monologue is still considered as one of the iconic scenes to come out from a Bollywood movie. Everyone surely enjoyed it but what went behind the scenes for it is only known to the man who made this possible. With his debut, he did tick all the boxes of good looks and comic timing but it was to be seen if he is able to comfortably adjust to other genres.
