Tri shaOn The Rocks
Janki Bodiwala as Trisha
Ravi Gohil as Vishal
Hiten Kumar as Trisha’s father (Anant)
Language: Originally Gujarati; Hindi dub/sub versions available.
Runtime: Approx. 2 h 44 m (172 to ~172–173 mins)
Genre: Romantic Comedy‑Drama aimed at youthful sensibilities
One vibrant night, Trisha and Vishal cross paths at a party. She comes from a more “fun‑loving but responsible” background, while he is portrayed as a laid‑back, somewhat carefree guy. Their meeting spirals into unexpected fun and chaos, eventually leading to Trisha becoming pregnant after a one‑night event (as described in summaries). Her father, initially angry, later reluctantly accepts grandfatherhood—though Trisha resists the idea of marriage, while Vishal is keen.
Thus, the story revolves around modern‑day relationship choices, generational expectations, and what it means to commit or not in today’s youth culture.
Highlights
The director Krishnadev Yagnik describes the film as “a sweet love story of the current generation with a twist”.
Good production values: cinematography by Pratik Parmar has been praised for capturing Gujarat’s backdrop well.
Strong‑cast support: Hiten Kumar’s role as the father has been mentioned as a positive.
Music and songs get some positive mentions, adding to the youthful romantic mood
Multiple reviewers and audience comments find the film overly long (nearly 3 hours) and struggling with pacing.
The total movie time is around 2 hours and 44 minutes… this movie could have win more hearts if it was 1 hour and 30 minutes.”
IMDb
Some feel the humor is forced, character arcs shallow, and the laughs too repetitive or artificial.
“The writing is pretty bad. The characters are shallow, fake, and highly unrelatable… over‑the‑top comedy felt forced.”
Letterboxd
While the film has youthful ambition, it seems some feel it doesn’t fully succeed in delivering a fresh, relatable narrative. Reddit threads show strong negative reactions:
“Only movie which I wasn’t able to finish at all… 3 baar stop karke restart kari, khatam nahi kari paaya.”
Its Hindi version or wider pan‑India appeal appears limited: trade reviews mention weak opening outside Gujarat.
My Verdict
Trisha On The Rocks” is a well‑intentioned film that aims to show a modern romance with a twist, set in Gujarat’s contemporary setting, backed by solid visuals and production. However, execution wise, it seems to fall short for many in terms of pace, screenplay tightness and universally engaging characters. If you go in with tempered expectations and enjoy regional romantic‑comedies, you might have a pleasant time. But expecting a flawless experience might lead to some disappointment.
Rating: 3 / 5 (for its intent and certain execution merits) — but maybe 2 / 5 for those needing strong screenplay and consistent engagement
