Today we are going to review Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt starrer Badrinath Ki Dulhania, which is produced by Karan Johar and directed by Shashank Khaitan. This is a rom-com drama film and a second installment of the franchise begun with 2014 released movie Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania.
The plot of the film is like this, Badrinath (Varun Dhawan) who was born in the affluent Bansal family of Jhansi city fell in love with a girl name Vadehi (Alia Bhatt) born in a middle-class Trivedi family of Kota city. But Vadehi has her own dreams, she wants to be independent and said No to Badri.
But due to family pressure and her sister’s wedding she has to say Yes for the marriage and then Badri arrange Dowery for Vadehi. He also becomes successful in persuading his old fashioned parents who still make difference in boys and girls and demands for dowry. On a single day two grooms landed in Trivedi’s house and after that, the Bansal family comes under attack and chaos has been created.
To know the reason of all the chaos you have to watch the film because I am here to review the film not to tell you the story.Now let’s see the movie from my perspective.
The story of the film is good but the screenplay becomes poor after a while and film drag out. If we talk about direction, there is no loo break in the movie for first 60 minutes and after that film starts to drag but at some places, Shashank took care of it and become successful.
If we talk about acting, everyone performed well and each artist gave their best. Music was okay and the makers also used Bappi Da’s 90s famous song Tamma Tamma. The cinematography was very good but I was not able to understand writer’s angle because at one part they are showing a family who makes difference between boys and girls, demand for dowry talk about arrange marriage and at the same time they don’t have any problem with inter-cast marriage. As their elder daughter-in-law was from Shukla family and their younger would-be-daughter-in-law is from Trivedi family. So I personally was not able to understand the contrast.
I guess the writer was unaware of the culture of that place and that is why he didn’t show any issue with inter-cast marriage but came up with dowry demand and gender discrimination. They try to convey a social message to the audience. Overall it is one time watch movie and my rating to this is 2.5 stars out of 5.
Hope you liked my review and will be back soon next week with another movie review, till then take care and don’t forget to like, share, comment and subscribe to my channel.
