A lot of heavy-on-the-head situations have been going around for days, with protests, tear gas and lathi charges over the NEET paper leak. The political atmosphere in the nation is so intense that moviegoers are busy scrolling reels and are more invested in geopolitical and political news. Amid all this, many cinema lovers forgot that Vikrant Massey-starrer Musafir Cafe dropped on Netflix. The series is a beautiful coming-of-age romance, filled with feel-good moments as it explores life choices and decisions.
The slow-burn romantic drama, set between Bhopal and misty Mussoorie, follows three lives that become entwined through chance encounters and life-altering choices across time and distance.
Created and written by Sharanya Rajgopal and directed by Ruchir Arun (Little Things, Ghar Waapsi), the series draws on characters from Divya Prakash Dubey's Hindi novel of the same name. At times, Musafir Cafe feels like it could have been a breezy, crisp film.
Software engineer Chander (Vikrant Massey) longs for a life partner. He meets divorce lawyer Sudha (Vedika Pinto) through a matrimony platform, but destiny has other plans. The two begin living together and almost fall in love. Chander dreams of building a café, and then he meets Preeti (Mahima Makwana), whose aspirations align with his own. Chander and Preeti become the couple who truly understand each other. The show then delves deeper into the trio's relationships and much more.
Musafir Cafe is about love, longing, companionship and the possibility that the people who change us the most often arrive when we least expect them. Timing is everything.
The cast also includes Adil Hussain, Rajeev Siddhartha, Anubha Fatehpuria, Loveleen Mishra and Sadia Siddiqui.
Let's take a look at what netizens have to say.
A user wrote, "Beautiful story, with beautiful performances. One of the best , heartwarming series I have seen in a while. Sudha and Chander looked lovely together and Rahil and Preeti had fantastic chemistry too !"
Another one wrote, "Loved the show until the last 10 minutes. There was a very clear ending to this but they decided to throw it away to make space for a new season which hasn't even been confirmed yet. I hate when people do this. "
The next one mentioned, "Just finished watching this and the heart feels heavy. It was more like living through the characters, life and love are never planned and this story beautifully showcased that. The ending has left it wide open but I guess let it end here only. Sometimes, the closure that we all look for is not needed at all, whether it's in the show or in real life."
The fourth one wrote, "Loved the series, but the abrupt ending was not required if season 2 isn't greenlit yet."
