14 Phere review: Politically-incorrect script works in favour of this Vikrant Massey, Kriti Kharbanda starrer
The film has the imagination to lace its take on patriarchy and dyed-in-the-wool traditions with satire
The fault, dear viewers, is not in our stars but in our caste names that determine the way our lives are likely to play out.

No wonder Sanjay Lal Singh [Vikrant Massey] and Aditi Karwasra [Kriti Kharbanda] have their work cut out. He is a Rajput from Bihar; she a Jat from Rajasthan. Their family patriarchs are the kind who talk of killing at the minutest transgression that affects the family honour.

It’s a complicated (read: forced) love story of a couple involving the ‘corporate couple’ of Sanjay (Vikrant Massey) & Aditi (Kirti Kharbanda), who love each other but are too afraid to confess the same to their stereotypical ‘anti-love-marriage’ families. They don’t want to elope or leave each other, so once while doing theatre (because, why not?) Sanjay figures out a plan through which he can finally marry Aditi.
