Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan

A love story on a bold subject which should have been a path breaking movie turns out to be a damp squib unfortunately... Too bad!!

A weak storyline.. no wait ... No story at all leads to its downfall . A gay couple Ayushman and Jitendra Kumar try to get their families to accept their relationship. This is the story and the whole movie has incidents added in between to drag the film to a predictable climax.

Even though the film boasts of a stellar cast, none of them are able to do justice to their roles due to the weak script. Very few moments where u actually feel like laughing. Ayushman, as I had said in my last review needs to do something new. Doing the same thing time and again is not going to help. A fine opportunity wasted by the makers.

5 stars out of 10 for this "Happy and Gay" film. Skip the theatre and watch on prime video .

Don't understand all the negative review. Movie was pretty funny - little bit of drag or preachy in between, but it is kind of needed for homophobic brain washed people. Most of us in India have been brought up in this manner - education, family, friends etc all these factors points towards making fun of homosexual people. See I got preachy too .... this movie was kind of targeting such audiences to open up their eyes. Anyhow this is no brainer, full time pass, comedy drama movie. Highly recommend.

Generous (6/10)*

Movie is a decent attempt and makes an interesting comment on homophobia which exists in our country.

A major chunk of the film is about conflict within the family and during such times, the principle homosexuality angle takes a backseat.

First half is very humourous and timing of punches r perfect.

Post interval however, the film drops. The scenes are supposed to be funny but don't make you laugh. Also it becomes too lame and unconvincing. The makers try their best to make things interesting but it doesn't work.

A missed Opportunity.

Despite of the bold plot which might not be pleasant for many, film never fails to entertain. The direction of Hitesh Kewalya is good and the dialogues are lit as it provides plenty of laughs. Ayushman's acting is just hitting the spot as it is required not above not below just as required according to the plot and supported well by Jitendra Kumar. The reason to like this movie is the relatable family drama and Chaos in joint family system especially in small towns. Once again the chemistry of Neena Gupta & Gajraj Rao is something to watch. Manu Rishi & Sunita Rajwar as Chacha Chachi never disappoints. Special mention to Maanvi Gagroo as Goggle she was funny, beautiful and sympathetic right from the first scene. All in all the movie is entertaining and will surely provide you good laughs.

The first part was fun. Once announced, it came to my watchlist right away and I was excited for it. Considering it's a different movie than other, expectations went higher. But what happened? The story that could have been well polished, is wasted. The direction is very poor. Cinematography poor. Poor writing and making it become a dark movie. I don't understand why this comedy has to be dark? BGM was upsetting. Some performces, except the leads, were so poor that we couldn't even bare watching. It's a different story, is a Sit-Com which is the reason it has some positive wom, or else with this direction the movie will go nowhere trust me. Add some unnecessary drama and some missed moments.
