Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari

It's a good watch for Diljit Dosanjh. Found Manoj Bajpayee's performance very disappointing and it might be one of his weakest performance. All other characters artists have performed well. Worth a watch.

Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari review :

The first theatrical release post lockdown; Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari got simultaneously released yesterday on paid platform Zee Plex where I saw it in the comfort and safety of my drawing room.

An okey dokey rom com directed by Abhishek Sharma who had made the horrendous Zoya Factor (2019) before this; Suraj (Diljit Dosanjh) and Mangal (Manoj Bajpayee) are two warring characters with Tulshi (Fatima Sana Shaikh) being their focal point. Marathi mulgaa Mangal is Tulshi's protective brother cum wedding detective who spies on prospective grooms and destroys their marriage. His latest victim is Punjabi munda Suraj whose beer guzzling photos land up at his hone wale in-laws place.

Next, Suraj falls for Tulshi who reciprocates his advances and its only a few minutes of screen time until Detective Mangal gets to know..

The screenplay is filled with illogical situations like a brother spoiling his sisters marriage just to get even with someone looks unconvincing, to say the least!! The humour element is intermittently spread across the narrative but dont expect too many lol moments here.

Of the cast, Manoj Bajpayee struggles to get the Marathi accent right which mars his overall performance. The various get-ups he dons to investigate his cases havent been utilized optimally. Diljit Dosanjh fits in to the Sardarji character perfectly and is completely natural as Suraj. The pretty Fatima Sana Shaikh pitches in a decent act as the Marathi girl who aspires to be India's first DJ. Her performance is much better than Thugs of Hindostan (2018) where she was lost in the crowd but again, not as effective as her debut Dangal (2016).

On the tech front, the production values are akin to a TV serial and the sets appear fake even for a 1995 era. There are two songs and both are enjoyable - I preferred the Karishma Tanna item number right at the beginning of the film.

To sum up, Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari is an average fare better suited for an OTT viewing. Glad I didnt risk the theatres!!

It's a Decent movie. Story of First half is very good but climax is simple or as usual. Some dialogues are also Good. Diljit Pajji's dialogue delivery have special mention in the movie. Performance of Manoj sir is Good not top notch. Fatima sana saikh is Average.

I bet it will make you laugh even if you are so worried about Corona. Great movie after a long time. What a natural actor Diljit. Will watch again!!!

I fail to see reason behind negative reviews. The movie is a light hearted entertainer. The pacing is even with enough comic situations to make you go LOL until the final credits! For a comic entertainer the film has enough surprises althrough it's run time. The movie is a sincere effort by all concerned and it shows.Comedy is not an easy skill but the actors and writers get it right. In these stressful times you need such movies to help you relax and de-stress. It's not a cinematic masterpiece but hey it's not bad at all. Give it a try you won't regret it. It will perhaps be one of those movies which got negative reviews during its release but went to have its own fan base much later.
