7 Days (2021)

As if their pre-arranged date, organized by their traditional Indian parents, wasn’t uncomfortable enough, Ravi and Rita are forced to shelter in place together as COVID-19’s reach intensifies.(IMDb Top Reviewer). There is a scene here where the very neurotic boy tries to explain cooking to the very cool and self-possessed girl. “My mother tried to show me and it didn’t work,” she warns. Rom-coms themselves are also just a recipe. You need chemistry between the leads. And a knife-sharp script. Here, writer/director Roshan Sethi delivers both. On a budget. Not too shabby.
