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.

Humourous film which tackles issues like toxic masculinity, oppressive nature of middle class indian families, ignorance of society towards LGBT issues. Talks about the adoption and so many other things.

Actors are brilliant. That one scene between Rajkumar and Sheeba will melt your heart.

And there's one special cameo, for which you should definitely watch this film.

This was a wonderful movie. The trailer made me think that it would be another generic 'small town comedy' with a social message (nothing wrong with it, most of these are enjoyable), but this was so much better. It felt more realistic than the Ayushmaan Khurrana movies.

Rajkummar Rao's acting was top-notch, Bhumi Pednekar is slowly and steadily climbing my list of favorite actors. The support cast did a great job too.

Shoutout to the writers as well, nothing over the top, yet real enough that you get the message but also enjoy the movie at the same time.

It's refreshing to watch an original Bollywood when remakes have been the way to go in the recent past. I was a little hesitant about the storyline because similar movies have been made in the past and in fact, social messages are often used as an excuse to make something totally random to sell tickets these days, but this was totally worth it.

I thought that they revealed a little too much in the trailer. *smh* If you have not seen the trailer, don't. Go watch the movie without expectations and you might enjoy it even more.

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.
