For an year, I got carried away with the hype around this film and probably had a different expectations from it. Sadly, the weak writing pulls the film down in such a way, it simply provides no chance for the lead actors to save it. The proceedings is simply devoid of any fun. The songs however I couldn't enjoy in the film thanks to all the insta reels as they felt over exposed. The writing is predictable from the word go and overacting in the courtroom is something I don't find funny at any circumstances. Sara Ali Khan and Vicky Kaushal were good and has a good supporting cast yet the emotions remain superficial throughout for the actors to make it work.

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.

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...

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.

I adore the film's depiction of middle-class families and their everyday struggles in a lighthearted manner. Most of the comedic moments are indeed over-the-top and delivered with exaggerated enthusiasm, but they still manage to create genuinely humorous situations.

The film's downfall lies not in its intention but rather in the script's lack of clarity and ambition. Additionally, I feel the family dynamic is terribly underplayed, which in turn makes the dramatic scenes and the emotions within them feel superficial, or rather half-baked in a sense.

Good for passing the time, but nothing exemplary to write home about.
