"She looks like a teen next to him."
Social media users are mocking Janhvi Kapoor and Jr NTR’s chemistry in the new song ‘Chuttamalle’, from their upcoming film Devara: Part One.
The romantic track has been praised by the likes of Janhvi’s rumoured boyfriend Shikhar Pahariya, who commented:
“Wow wow wow Maaasss.”
However, Reddit users were less than impressed, with many saying there was “no chemistry between Janhvi and Jr NTR”.
Others said they looked awkward together, pointing out their 14-year age gap.
Sharing a clip from the track, a Reddit user said:
“No chemistry between Janhvi (27) and Jr NTR (41). This pair looks so odd. Age gap is jarring (Let’s see if it’s justified in movie). Jr NTR looks so awkward and out of place.”
Many agreed, stating that the pairing appeared odd.
One person wrote: “She looks like a teen next to him.”
Another commented: “She looks so young next to him that’s what’s adding more to the already uncomfortable look on their face.”
According to one person, Jr NTR looked “bored” and the video’s quality appeared poor quality.
The user said: “Jr NTR looks bored, Janhvi probably for the first time doing a role according to her acting talent instead of wasting a good script.
“Also, why does the video look like it’s shot by an Instagram director with filters on.”
Another user said: “This looks like a TikTok reel where the main dancer is accompanied by the ‘instructor’ who is just going through the motions.
“Jr NTR looks positively bored and extremely out of place. This looks bad bad, lol…”
A disappointed user said: “This was eww. Lack of chemistry and the navel moves make it worse.”
One comment read: “Something about his long shirt makes his legs look even shorter and next to her it throws me off.
“There’s like a two per cent aspect of ‘young and extroverted village girl with quiet and mysterious guy eight years older than her’ vibe going on but it’s very faint.
“If the movie capitalises on that it’ll make this pairing look less awkward.”
One netizen compared Jr NTR’s ‘Naatu Naatu‘ from RRR to Devara: Part One‘s new song, writing:
“After Naatu Naatu, this feels like ‘Don’t-do Don’t-do’… so ewwwwwwwww.”
‘Chuttamalle’ marks a big shift from the high-energy ‘Fear Song’, which was the first release.
Devara: Part One marks Janhvi Kapoor’s Telugu film debut.
Directed by Koratala Siva and produced by Yuvasudha Arts and NTR Arts, Devara: Part One is set to be released in September 2024.
