Another misjuided social commentary - though meant to give messages on safe sex, only ends up misleading the public !

Condoms are good for safe sex and contraception pills does have issues - but here also the film does not talk about the full contraception options !

In the case here the optimal solution for the sister-in-law and / or brother in law like Vasectomy or Fallopian Tube tying (since they have completed their family long back) is not mentioned let alone suggested.

Also there are spermicide gels, female condoms etc. Which are also ignored completely !

Condoms are not the best form of contraception ! They are just one of the cheap options - but they are not infallable, good ones are costly, cause environment issues (construction of condoms are not at all green and they cause non degrading and non re-usable hazardous waste )

Last year, a movie (Janhit mein Jaari) was there with Nushrratt Bharuccha in it on the same lines of this movie. The story premise is quite similar thus concept might feel repetitive.

But this movie is up a notch just because it targets the core reason for people not wearing protection - that is Sex Education.

Its very predictable throughout but hey! Its not a suspense thriller anyway. Its a fun movie to watch with a social element.

You can ignore it if you are aware enough, but one with social stigmas about using protection should watch this just to get a hint at that its not a big deal.

Also to understand, what women go through just because men are not sensitive enough or just being ignorant about such an important aspect of life.

This movie seeks to speak on behalf of women who suffer in silence with the discomfort of the side effects of the contraceptive pill when their husbands do not use a condom for whatever reasons. We have a young chemistry graduate ( Rakul Preet) residing in a small town Karnal in Haryana who likes to apply principles of chemistry in day to day life and takes up a job as the quality head of a condom manufacturing company for lack of a better choice. Since the job is likely to cause embarrassment to her family she hides this fact but not for long leading to friction with her husband ( Sumeet Vyas), with her family and the orthodox community of the town in general. She then starts a crusade to educate and instigate local women to pressurise their husbands to use condom and free them from the pain of the side effects of the pill. This is not as easy as it seems as the women discover. ( In a lighter vein, the movie may not go down too well with pill manufacturers).

Director Tejas Deoskar just about manages to give an average treatment to the plot keeping it a bit too simplistic. No in depth or incisive analysis of the subject at hand but just skimming the surface keeping in mind the sensibilities and the taboos involved besides considerations of the censors and the box office. The small town sensibilities are also not so convincingly shown. A female teacher waiting in a make shift arrangement in a field to teach sex education to school kids seems too far fetched. The reference to Kalpana Chawla doesn't seem to fit in. The acting of all is barely average and no complaints on that.

This movie had a potential but it's did not stand on it. The story has proper start but has lead character meet each other, the story turn out fast phase and leave the main topic in first half. As the second half begin of movie, after that story catch the topic which the concept of that movie and should be carry first. Over all the movie is ok. Rakul Preet Singh and Sumeet Vyas work was good but supporting characters catch the movie. The character which is been carried out by Rajesh Tailang steal catch whole movie and I love that part of it. Over all at conclusions movie is good for one time watch.

RATED 7/10 Language: Hindi Media Partner: Zee5

The movie is adequately funny and carried the much needed message throughout the movie. I quite enjoyed the first part. The cast is perfect and its natural....

But the second part looks bit preachy and lack of story telling, especially towards the end. It doesn't mean that the movie is bad... but it becomes more predictable and ended with lecture note.

Must watch for everyone and might not be comfortable to watch with parents... but definitely must watch with partner.

Repeating again for 600 char limitation Must watch for everyone and might not be comfortable to watch with parents... but definitely must watch with partner.
