1st July 2023,Mumbai: ‘Man of the moment’ Kartik Aaryan has given a number of standout performances during the course of his career. But one of his best performances to date was in the recently released Satyaprem Ki Katha (SPKK), when he played Sattu. He is the movie’s protagonist and shines in each scene.
Critics and internet users alike praised Kartik Aaryan for his portrayal of Satyaprem in the movie, praising his ability to switch between comedy and drama with ease and demonstrating his range as an actor by expertly navigating the complexities of Satyaprem’s emotions.
Kartik Aaryan is essential to SPKK’s capacity to empower the female character, which is what makes it unique. His personality inspires and supports his partner Katha, the leading lady, to act heroically rather than taking the lead. Kartik’s assurance as an actor is shown by this sophisticated strategy. The modern woman is left desiring a male just like Satyu, played by Kartik, in her life.
Taran Adarsh is a trade expert. “Kartik is now creating his own brand of romantic hero,” it claims. “Shah Rukh Khan has a unique kind of romance that no one can match, but In the present, Kartik is undoubtedly developing his own, which is more contemporary and has a high relatability element. In the same way that Khan did in his peak, he brings newness to the screen and wins over fans’ hearts off it with his real charm and charming demeanour. He performs the most ideal Bollywood hero with Sattu and hits it off the park.”
After seeing the movie, his enormous female following quickly created the hashtag #BeLikeSattu in response to how pleased they were by his performance as Sattu. In this day and age, it is extremely uncommon to hear a story about someone being so obsessed with a fictional character. The internet is crazy about them and claims that Sattu and Katha (played by Kiara Advani) are the young India’s couple-goals on television after Raj and Simran did so.
By presenting a purely romantic love tale that connects with the general public, Kartik Aaryan has restored optimism in the business. Beyond his box office triumph, Kartik’s portrayal of Sattu in the Sameer Vidwans-directed movie merits praise for the difficult matter it deals at the movie’s centre. The approach to this subject goes beyond heroic; he gives the character empathy and sympathy, boosting awareness and offering a new point of view while keeping the movie ever-entertaining rather than didactic. Bollywood needs a contemporary hero!Kartik Aaryan’s journey resembles Satyaprem’s in the movie in many respects. From being an outsider to a youthful sensation to be reckoned with, from zero to hero!
