Shubh Mangal Saavdhan
(2017)
Directed by R. S.
Prasanna this remake of the director's own earlier film “Kalyana
Samayal Saadham” stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pedenkar. With
wedding on the way a young couple find the groom is suffering from
performance anxiety.
A little bit on the
long side for my taste but this is still a fairly fun comedy drama
that pushes the envelope for Indian cinema in terms of content. The
film has the best use of a biscuit to describe a male medical problem
in the entire history of cinema but otherwise is fairly standard.
Some weird gender stereotypes still seep through despite the
progressive nature of the film but it's a decent watch over all.
3/5
