Our cinema has so many hidden gems that most people never even discover about. They remain hidden for the longest period of time and only a handful of people ever get to know their value. Thanks to the expansion of the internet, more and more people are getting aware of the films that they should have been aware of otherwise.
One such film is Raghu Romeo. Sometimes, a film comes along that feels so honest and unusual, that it stays with you long after you’ve watched it. Raghu Romeo is one of those rare gems.
Directed by Rajat Kapoor and starring the ever-charming Vijay Raaz, this National Award-winning film tells the story of Raghu, a sweet but clueless waiter who escapes his dull reality by obsessing over a TV soap star, Neetaji.
The film becomes too beautiful after it mixes humour and heart. It’s quirky, funny, and deeply moving all at once. Through Raghu’s naive yet noble journey, you get a window into the struggles of everyday people who dream of a better life.
If you’re tired of flashy, over-the-top cinema and want something real, Raghu Romeo is perfect.
But it is not on any mainstream OTT platform. It is on Open Theatre and you would have to pay 99 Rs to watch Raghu Romeo. But, if you are willing to spend then you would not regret watching this film.
