Picture This (2025) | Hollywood Movie

Picture This (2025), directed by Prarthana Mohan, is a British rom-com that remixes the 2024 Australian film Five Blind Dates with a London twist, starring Simone Ashley as Pia, a struggling photographer on a quest for love across five dates. Launched on Amazon Prime Video on March 6, Ashley’s magnetic charm—she’s klutzy yet fierce—lifts a predictable setup: a guru predicts true love by date five, cue family meddling and ex-boyfriend Charlie (Hero Fiennes Tiffin) stirring the pot.

The 101-minute runtime zips with split-screen flair and vibrant Indian wedding vibes, but the script (Nikita Lalwani) stumbles—humor lands unevenly, and the leads’ chemistry fizzles despite their beauty. Luke Fetherston’s quippy bestie Jay steals scenes, while Sindhu Vee’s pushy mom adds warmth. Critics on X laud Ashley’s star power (83% Rotten Tomatoes), but call it “cute yet forgettable”—a breezy watch that’s more “pleasant distraction” than rom-com royalty. It’s comfort food for fans of light fare, not a genre game-changer.
