3 min readNew DelhiUpdated: May 20, 2026 07:46 PM IST Eleven years ago, a young boy from Gwalior, moved to Mumbai to become an engineer. However, he decided to fulfill his dream of becoming an actor, and got his first breakout role in Luv Ranjan’s Pyaar Ka Punchnama. When the rom-com hit the theatres in 2011, it left the audiences divided. While some viewed it as a rare and honest take on modern romantic relationships, others called it a one-sided, exaggerated rant against women. Also starring Divyendu, and Raayo S Bakhirta as leads, the film also had a stellar run at the box office. As Pyaar Ka Punchnama clocks 15 years of its release, I rewatched the film to reflect on its narrative choices and how it creates a long-lasting cultural impact. Kartik’s iconic monologue Say whatever you want, the 5-minute long monologue by Kartik Aaryan was truly iconic. The actor’s delivery of the viral rant about relationship woes is still a part of pop culture. The high relatability of the moment also helped Kartik …
