Manu is a bodybuilder in Chandigarh, and Maanvi teaches Zumba nearby — a matchup that gives this 2021 Hindi romance, directed by Abhishek Kapoor, its lightest opening notes before the story turns serious.
What is Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui about?
Their courtship builds along familiar romantic-comedy lines: gym sessions, dance classes, families weighing in, and two people testing whether their differences make them a better match or a worse one. The film changes tone partway through when a piece of information neither of them saw coming forces both families, and the couple themselves, to reconsider a relationship they had already assumed would end in marriage. From there, Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui becomes less about the meet-cute and more about what a couple owes each other once the easy part of falling in love is over.
About the cast
The film is led by Ayushmann Khurrana and Vaani Kapoor, with Kanwaljit Singh, Gourav Sharma, Goutam Sharma, Yograj Singh, Aanjjan Srivastav, and Abhishek Bajaj rounding out the families and friends drawn into the couple's story once the news breaks.
Context & significance
Director Abhishek Kapoor has built a career around love stories that push past the genre's comfort zone, and Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui continues that pattern by setting a mainstream Hindi romance in a Punjabi city known for its gyms and dance culture rather than the usual metropolitan backdrop. The film leans on that specific setting — bodybuilding gyms, Zumba studios, close-knit extended families — to ground a story that could otherwise have stayed abstract, keeping its focus on the couple's relationship rather than turning the plot into a message picture.
