Employed with Easy Finance, Mumbai-based Aditya lives a lower middle-class lifestyle in Jethabhai Chawl. He dramatically meets with Riya, an employee of Live India, both fall in love and get married. He comes to know that her Punjab-based father is very wealthy, and in order to impress him, both take loans totaling Rs.35 Lakhs to purchase a flat on the 14th floor of Pavitra Cooperative Housing Society. The owner of the flat, Rustam, wants Rs.75 Lakhs but conditionally sells it to them if they come up with the rest of the money in 3 months-or else the flat and the amount they have paid will be forfeited. With Riya's father already in Mumbai to greet his newly married daughter, the duo readily agree to Rustam's offer and move in. Complications arise when they find out that the society they have moved in is 'strictly vegetarian'and the couple, including Riya's father, are meat-lovers.

I saw this movie and punched a vegetarian in the face
What the --? The back of the DVD case describes this movie as a "pure vegetarian story" and what worries me most is that that lame description wasn't enough to put me off from watching this. LOVE KA TADKA - and I believe the film title refers to love and its varying spices, or something of the sort - is a Bollywood romantic comedy with the "comedy" part fully deserving the cautionary bracketing of quotation marks. O what a crappalicious film.The two leads - Sameer Dattani and Nauheed Cyrusi - are good-looking, but good looks alone can't keep this picture afloat. Set in Mumbai (it's always Mumbai), the love story starts out cute, with one of those misunderstandings usual to Bollywood and with Dattani getting slapped repeatedly. But, eventually, the two fall in love, except that when Riya (Cyrusi) confesses to Aditya (Dattani) that her future life partner must live in a tower and be at least a manager, Aditya tells Riya he does and he is. But the lies can't help but surface when they get married. Aditya happens to be a lowly executive at a finance company; his dwelling is the pits.When Riya's weird Punjabi father comes for a visit, she wants to impress him, and so she and Aditya take out a loan and manage to find a fabulous flat in a fancy highrise. But - and this is where the film really lost me - it turns out that their new home is embedded in the Pavitra community, a society of strict vegetarians. Aditya and Riya find themselves pretending to be vegetarians and hating it, and how long, really, can they keep up the deception? When Riya's father is blustery and over-the-top and demands Riya's excellent chicken dishes? When Aditya's shady boss is bitter and vengeful because he'd been turned down for that very same flat, and now he's trying to expose Aditya for a meat eater? When it's only a matter of time before someone slips or the fickle finger of fate gives the lovebirds the middle one?LOVE KA TADKA opens with an unimpressive item number that tries too hard and it closes with a tired speech about tolerance. The story content in between is moronic and pretty painful to watch. Too many overacting actors populate the screen, vocalizing dumbed-down dialogue from a rancid script. When I say that the humor is scaled to common denominator tastes, I refer, as one example, to the movie being frequently serenaded by a soundtrack of bowel movement noises and duck quacks. And that's meant to be funny. What it is, is Bollywood at its lowest ebb. Heck, even Johnny Lever wouldn't be caught dead in this one (except that, since it's Johnny Lever, that's probably not true).

pure vegetarian
The film starts with an item number which brings no joy to the audiences.Love Ka Tadka' is a feel good romantic comedy aimed at both the mass and class audience. The concept has been selected after a lot of research.This pure vegetarian story with a Tadka of little tangy and a slightly spicy story will end up leaving a sweet taste and a smile on your faces.
