Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday’s rom-com is a derivative drag

Malala Yousufzai might have braved the Taliban but I am sure she didn’t foresee a Kartik Aaryan. At a point in the tongue-twisty-titled rom-com Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, Kartik’s Ray describes the width of his dating pool. “Malaika (Arora), Malala, Uorfi (Javed) or Kamala (Harris), nobody can say no to this momma’s boy,” he says while showcasing his six-pack abs and chiselled shoulder blades, as if he is auditioning for a whey protein commercial. If ever, in some parallel universe, there is a meet-cute between Malala and Ray on an exotic vacation, I don’t know how it will progress. Will he, in a lame-attempt at humour, call her ‘Maal La La’? Will he try to mansplain her the benefits of a burkini?
