Bhumi Pednekar gives a stellar performance that elevates this comedy about the perils of finding happiness in bed and elsewhere.
Remember Cinderella? You know, the classic fairy tale about a prince trying to find the foot that matches the shoe of his love interest that has been remade over and over? Well, Karan Boolani’s Thank You for Coming is, thankfully, not that story, but it does put a more slightly raunchy twist on some of its elements. Specifically, it follows the 32-year-old Kanika Kapoor who is looking for something much more than a shoe.
That seems to have changed on the night of her engagement, which represents her finally settling for not finding what she was looking for, but the trouble is that she was too drunk to remember exactly who it was she was with. It could be her boring husband-to-be or any number of people she will then have to look into in order to get to the bottom of what it was that happened.
Bhumi Pednekar Is Brilliant in 'Thank You for Coming' What ensures it never falls as it goes along is its central performance. Pednekar is just so good as she throws herself into every new situation, elevating each of them into something more. Even as the film itself can feel oddly chaste, with more conversations taking place about sex than there is much of happening, there is a boldness to the way she approaches each scene.
'Thank You for Coming' Has an Appropriately Cheeky Conclusion Without providing any indications about what ends up happening at the end of the search, the truth that is found there ensures everything goes out on a high note. Though some might have been able to piece together the reality based on some of the hints the film dropped along the way, that still doesn’t rob it of being the perfect way to end it all.
After a life full of uncertainty, the closing catharsis of Thank You for Coming offers Kanika a fitting punchline as revealing as it is sweet. It is appropriately chaotic while also being emotionally sincere with a delightful performance by Pednekar to hold it together. When all is stripped away, it is about falling in love with yourself as much as it is anyone else.The Big Picture Thank You for Coming had its World Premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival.
