Zara Hatke Zara Bachke

Entertaining but lacks the screenplay and average performances by the cast except for Vicky Kaushal. Usual basic storyline with same old formula makes the film average. Ist half is too stretched lack of screenplay and nothing impactful happens but the 2nd half is more upward as the story gets serious which is good to watch. Superb acting by lead cast and others. There are some scenes in which acting is little over the top and gets irritating to watch. You'll also laugh in some scenes as they are quite good but rest of film is just average. Director could've taken a different take and makes the film more exciting but instead the film just perform like an average one. Dialogues are good but nothing new or exciting that would remind you. All n all it's an average film watch it for to otherwise wait for OTT...

Family movies do well in India because family audiences are able to relate and resonate with the main and supporting characters. If the direction is good the movie will cover all situations from life in a realistic way so the audiences of all age groups can say that " It has happened/ can happen to me". All young people in their 20s have dreamt of having their own home. While the affluent among them easily manage it is the people from the poorer class who find it difficult because of high cost. The story of this movie is about one such middle class, not so well off, newly married couple Soumya ( Sara Ali Khan) and Kapil ( Vicky Kaushal) who live in a joint family in Indore. Since they dont get privacy in their small home, they try to buy a Government flat through an unscrupulous middle man who asks them to go through a fake divorce but the plans backfire and the young couple is left high and dry.

Director Laxman Utekar has targeted family audiences with this simple story which will appeal to them. All scenes are presented well. However the movie is a notch below his earlier directorial efforts like " Luka Chhupi" and " Mimi". I feel that the ending/ climax is disappointing and unconvincing. Maybe the advantages of staying together in a joint family needed to be put across in a clearer manner. In acting both Vicky and Sara are impressive and have brought out the happy and sad moments with great authenticity. Rakesh Bedi and Sharib Hashmi are excellent as usual in supporting roles. Srishti Rindani impresses in a small role.

Well filmed and thoughtful. Director captures nicely how Indian women in lower middle class have to accept their husband's dictums and have no right to be ambitious.

It is the story or a woman who wants her husband and herself to live in an owned house and be well off but is misled to take the wrong path due to her husband's lack of ambition and his being a miser.

Movie is very realistic and a good portrayal by Sara Ali Khan. Having lived a few years in South India we have all seen lower middle class marrying their girls before 18. They have children by 21 and are expected to look after their homes and have no desires or ambitions in life.

While people claim that they have respect for women, the ground reality in India is still that women are not yet equal to men and don't have the same rights to build careers and be ambitious. This movie in a light mood highlights an important prevalent social stigma. Wish it had better and deeper insights though.

Its perhaps a golden chance for the writers to give an extreme entertainment and flutter a little with emotions here and there. Basically storyline is not so creative but its plot could have been certainly made better.

Hailing from the makers of luka chuppi, we wanted to expect a thorough rom com rather than a edge of the seat entertainment. But this film tried to go a little beyond by display of basic emotions, looking onto family insight, but sadly it never went there thereby leaving a half baked film.

Not that i am blaming entertainment is less but one may watch the whole film believing in a hope that next scene will be a little better but is it ever.

There are many cliche storylines, a sad heart broken pre climax song that did nothing much but to elongate the already saggy plot .

Having a personal home is an emotion for a basic middle class family. More than anybody i understand the significance of a home. That emotion is not totally captured with its essence. Either way the main agenda of this film is zara hatke zara bachke, writers and director might have thought it is only fair to put forward its literally synonym all through its narration and execution.

Really enjoyed watching the movie. Good comedy and sends a very good message.

The plot is simple, story is unique, yet very connected to daily life of an average family.

Both the lead actors have justified their roles. The movie has good punches. Not even a single time movie feels boring or lengthy. Movie has well timed and very beautiful songs. Although it's a comedy movie but has some good emotional sequences too. Definitely worth watching the movie in cinema hall. You wouldn't regret watching it.

I am glad I didn't go by the negative reviews because it was really a good one. And the best part, you can't guess the storyline much from trailer.
