बधाई हो (2018)

Badhaai Ho is a film directed by Amit Ravindernath Sharma. The trailers of the film had made me interested and I was looking forward for this venture. Finally, I can say the waiting of two weeks were successful.

Plot: Nakul and his family receive the shock of their lives when they find out that Nakul’s mother is pregnant.

Story and direction: From the concept itself I was looking forward to this film as it sounded very interesting and unique. The makers of this film could have gone many ways of showing this film. But I can say from seeing this film that the way they went was absolutely correct. Amit Sharma (who also directed the not so famous 2015 film TEVAR) has shown the film in the most correct way. Even while watching the film I was thinking the very same things that these characters were. The mindset of people regarding an issue like this is very apt and shown with utmost sincerity. The comedy and the drama are so well balanced in this film. In addition to Amit, I would like to thank the writing team (Akshat Ghildial and Shantanu Srivastava) for bringing such a wonderful script. Each and every scene and dialogue were just wonderful. The transition of Nakul’s character from rejecting his parents’ behaviour to finally coming terms to it and supporting them to the fullest has been beautifully shown. Also, shown very nicely is that family is the most important thing in anybody’s life. Also shown quite nicely is the family members standing against other people when taunts are being passed on their condition. Also, I quite loved the way the makers portrayed Delhi and Haryanvis. I really don’t know how to fault this film since I felt that the film was perfect in every way.

Performances: The film is filled with mind-blowing performances. Ayushmann Khurrana (fresh from his successful ANDHADHUN) once again delivers a great performance. He is seen in varying shades as an actor. Sanya Malhotra was also good considering what the writers had mapped her character as. Gajraj Rao and Neena Gupta were the most adorable parents anyone can ever have. Surekha Sikri is the grandmother that any kind of household has. And finally, Sheeba Chadha was great as Renee’s mother.

Music: With a film like this the music has to be spot on as the music has to be in sync with what the scene is trying to convey. There are only four songs and all of them are good. They gel in with the situation shown in the film. If I had to pick a favorite it would be the Ayushmann Khurrana crooned ‘Nain Na Jodeen’. The background music of the film is great and shows the director loves old music as we hear some old hits in the background.

Favorite Scene: With a film this good, it is kind of difficult to pick the best one. But the one I would pick is where Nakul decides to confront the students who hit his brother Gullar. I liked the way Nakul motivates his brother to teach those people a lesson. I really could connect with the scene as I felt the need of someone like Nakul in my school life.

Verdict: Packed with punchy dialogues, a great story, amazing performances and a beautiful message, Badhaai Ho is a complete entertainment package. Never for a moment I felt disinterested in a film. It is a film to watch with the entire family. I am sure you won’t be disappointed.

Going with a perfect 10.

This movie was created on such a low budget yet it was able to earn 3 times the amount spent on making it. It is #entertaining and #emotional at the same time. It makes us change our perspective from the age old norms and beliefs to a newer adaptive thinking. It tells the story of Jeetender Kaushik ( played by Gajraj Rao) who works as a TT for Indian Railways residing in Delhi's Lodhi colony with his wife Priyamvadha ( played by Neena Gupta) his mother "Dadi'" ( played by Surekha Sikri) and 2 sons Nakul (played by Ayushmann) & Gular , the younger one ( played by Shardul Rana). The problem arises when there is news of Priyamvadha's pregnancy. Due to the prevalent social stigma the entire family becomes a laughing stock for relatives and friends. Amidst all of this Ayushmann realizes his mistake and thus with the birth if the child this story has a #sweet and #cute ending with the engagement of Nikhil and his girlfriend Renee(played by Sanya Malhotra)

Badhaai ho is a very interesting flim having a all new plot. This flim revolves around a parent having a child in age of retirement . All the actors had make thier inpact . #funn#bestOfFamily #classic #touching
first half of the film is dull of laughter And and secondbhalf is bit emotional. Ayushmann ones again proved that he is best in his generation . I recommend all to watch this film

Don't watch this movie. To know the story just watch trailer. Trailer is enough to understand what is the story of the flim. I think it's #emotional. The climax of the flim is #cute and #feelGood . #cheapComedy. #entertaining . It is not a family entertainer.

What a year is 2018 for Bollywood! The content based films are recognized and appreciated by larger mumber of audience. This year is wonderful for Ayushmann Khurrana, as his two films (Both released in October itself) are getting great reviews and B.O. collection. Though, Andhadhun came on 5th October, it is unusual that these two Ayushamann starrer films are competing each other, as no other film is as good as these two.

Badhaai Ho is the film whose trailer raised the bar and everyone was expecting it to be a Hit. Film shows exactly what its trailer offers. Though, audience is very happy with this comedy drama. Story is fantastic and very unique. Ayushmann (Nakul)'s mother got pregnant (played by Neena Gupta), and this is not the normal thing. Neither for Ayush and his brother, nor for his grandmother, nor for his girlfriend and her mother, & nor for the society! Film deals with this issue in an organic way possible, and gives out best example that whatever happens, you need your family and family needs your support.

Sanya Malhotra looks so pretty! It's her 3rd film after Dangal and Patakha, and I love her in every film. Gajraj Rao plays the father of Nakul with such an ease. This film will get him the recognition he deserves. Neena Gupta plays her part brilliantly. The pair looks so perfect with each other. Best one is Daadi-Sa, Surekha Sikri. She is too good. Her dialogues in the second half will make you cry. I heard many saying they cried in the second half. And I guess it's because of her. Sheeba Chaddha is also good as Sanya's mother.

Film delivers the perfect humour which this kind of film requires. Some scenes are beautifully taken without any dialogues, but just with expressions. There are many moments when you will laugh out loud. Although, the love-story portion in the second half could have been more filmy and entertaining. It is there as a simple and good-going story. Though, it definitely is not boring from any point of time. For this, writers deserve applause, which are Akshat Ghildial, Jyoti Kapoor and Shantanu Srivastava.

Amit Sharma is the director of this film. It is his debut film. He looks promising. It will surely going to be a hit. And hence, hoping for more good work from him in his upcoming works.

This film is having the best suitable background score which a comedy film is supposed to have. There are not much songs. The title track is funny. 'Maari thi Missed call, lekin ho gaya Answer hi!' There is one super romantic track as well. And how can I forget the lullaby in the climax, where the film ends with the sweetest way possible!

Go and watch this film with your family. It is not a taboo topic which can't be seen with your parents. Try out and be modern like an educated man/woman should have to. And, oh, yes, I forget to mention about Ayushmann's performance... Well, I think since his first film he is doing his job great! So, Bollywood ko Ayushmann ki Badhaai Ho.
