Loved the acting of Jitendra .initially, it was hard to accept his drunk character after watching his previous series / movie. Overall good movie & good message to the society , specially in some rural areas where the story is still very much true.

Man am I surprised to see negative reviews on this one. I mean it was'nt perfect but it was one of the best comedies I have seen in recent times. All the charaacters even extras had good presence.
The lead actor Gunnu and his wife have been excellent. The screeenplay has all arcs and acts that you expect from ta good script. Dialogues were as funny as one expect. The second half has all the twist and turns and cliffhangers that are usually lacking in plain jane comedies nowdays. Overall its a good film that depicts exactly what many alcoholics do and it was 2023 best comedy. I bet you to suggest any other. Go watch.

Salute to Jitendra for an absolutely amazing performance. This man should be given more opportunities in bollywood. In my opinion, the plot is very simple: The actress: Shriya, is pregnant with the kid of Jitendra who is a drunk thug, when he realises his kid will be aborted, he decides to ban alcohol. That's it.
The cast and their presence on the screen is absolutely insane. Jitendra makes you cry, laugh, and has constantly remained in the character of a drunk man without any effort. Screen play is also brilliant. The director has touched on many sensitive topics in a very intelligent way and it's commendable.
Much needed film to raise the standard of Indian cinema.
The movie has so many surprises, drama, emotion, message and commentary on current state of politics in India. Don't miss it.

The central theme is good.
But it fails to elicit the emotional response from the audience. Let alone the twisty plot with excessive abusive language.
Plot has significant loopholes in multiple characters and plot points. For example, Sattu joining the movement for far too long. Funding from Balram. Dauji's public rebuttal followed by no course of action by the public which happens to attack Gannu on arrival.
In terms of acting, few actors went over board while most felt real.
The film has good music scores.
Overall, I appreciate the hard work that must have been put by everyone to make this film but the public rating is justified in terms of the short comings of the film.
I would be surprised if you leave the theatre inspired or changed. Rather you might have mixed feelings and are left perplexed.

It has been tried before in the movie, A lot of times where the gray character of the beginnings has to do right and ideal things because he is forced to do so somehow. Take an example of Ghulam Amir Khan the thug slowly turning into the ideal person. However in "Dry day" the reminiscence of "GUIDE" can be seen where a crooked is forced to go on hunger strike and ultimately changes the course of the story.
The place where the story faulters is the loose editing (lot of unwanted sequence with no consequential effect on the story still in the movie), music ( no mention-worthy songs) and the motive of the story which is attached to gannu's wife. Shreya Pilgaonkar's motive, her persuasion in the beginning seems forced and subsequently diluting the chemistry between.
Story of an alcoholic leading the alcohol ban petition, interesting move but alas lacked the depth and study.
