Badhaai Do

This is one of the better groundbreaking LGBTQ movies to come out of India, a country still hobbled by strict cultural mores and taboos. It starts off slowly and with all the hallmarks of a French Farce that discourages the viewer from taking it seriously. However, as it develops, the concept takes shape and the message becomes clearer. Unfortunately, the drama piece becomes overshadowed by weak attempts at comedy which does not translate well, and the overuse of songs and silly noises in the soundtrack proves distracting. The on-screen relationships do not come across as real, but this is to avoid censorship one would imagine. The movie is well acted and for the most part, the characters are believable. Overall, it is entertaining and has just the right amount of pathos towards the end.

For making such an entertaining and thought provoking film on a marriage of convenience without falling into trap of stereotypes.

Proud that the story is set and shot mostly in small town Dehradun.

There are so many out there living in closet or in denial. I hope this film encourages them to be themselves.

This movie illustrate a very good concept and it's represent a reality of our social culture. The Storyline of this movie is good but not that much interesting as I expected. Overall good Movie.

An amazing fun movie, that despite its entertainment factor, also educates. Gear performances and excellent direction. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and highly recommend that you watch it.

This is an absolutely amazing movie. Very well-paced, well-acted and well-executed movie. Character development and acting is just top-notch. Incredibly mature handling of such a difficult topic. Watch in the theatre, you won't be disappointed. The ones giving 2's and 3's are either homophobes or aren't able to appreciate good cinema. Please throng the theatre in droves, this movie and the entire cast deserve nothing but love and appreciation.
