The Reunion Review

I cannot even begin to say how much I am annoyed with the word "Reunion" since it has acquired a more nuanced understanding in the recent times, and one being that of an extremely overused "plot-device". The Reunion lives upto it's name and hypes it up even more by adding the unnecessary "PROM" in the end. It basically revolves around the lives of four friends - Aarya, Deva, Dev and Gaurav who have long passed out from their maiden school "The Bourbon High". One day they all receive an unexpected invitation from their past asking them to come together to relive their highschool and all the memories associated with it. Estranged best friends meet, new relationships are formed, new truths are revealed on the way but what is absolutely dangerous is the fact that this show provides redemption and closure to bullies like Aarya and Deva in the name of "arey yaar hum toh bacche the, we were stupid" while being confonted about their acts. Honestly, that was really cringy and perplexing. Aarya's acting was superficial. Deva's and Aarya's lack of emotional understanding of Bhavna's situation is clearly a character fault. In total, it was a decent watch which tried to cater to the taste of the young adults today. The reunions was far from being realistic. It'a available on youtube.
