Cheesecake (2019)

Akanksha Thakur and Jitendra Kumar are back as Sameera and Neel in an urban romance and their on-screen chemistry is still as charming as ever. ‘Cheesecake’ is a story of fading love being barely held together by a fragile marriage.

After a distressing day at work, Sameera finds herself feeding a lost dog a piece of cheesecake outside a club who then follows her home. Initially, Neel (Sameera's husband) resists this new addition to their family but eventually as they grow closer to the adorable golden retriever, they start growing closer to each other. Who knew a lost dog was all they needed to revive the lost flame in their marriage? My most prominent and maybe the only problem with the script is the over-simplification of a very complex subject. A dog or a child can't always be the answer to a distraught marriage, and in that sense the story may seem a little trite. But besides the script's precarious treatment of a heavy subject, the show is warm and fuzzy with a lot to offer.

‘Cheesecake’ is a light-hearted drama/romance/comedy. It doesn’t reflect profoundly on the ruthless and fast-paced culture of our modern society or the fragile bonds we build. However, the performances are top-notch, and the dialogue is mature, grounded and thankfully, miles away from being cloy. It’s an easy watch and highly recommendable.
