Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan

Generous (6/10)*

Movie is a decent attempt and makes an interesting comment on homophobia which exists in our country.

A major chunk of the film is about conflict within the family and during such times, the principle homosexuality angle takes a backseat.

First half is very humourous and timing of punches r perfect.

Post interval however, the film drops. The scenes are supposed to be funny but don't make you laugh. Also it becomes too lame and unconvincing. The makers try their best to make things interesting but it doesn't work.

A missed Opportunity.

Despite of the bold plot which might not be pleasant for many, film never fails to entertain. The direction of Hitesh Kewalya is good and the dialogues are lit as it provides plenty of laughs. Ayushman's acting is just hitting the spot as it is required not above not below just as required according to the plot and supported well by Jitendra Kumar. The reason to like this movie is the relatable family drama and Chaos in joint family system especially in small towns. Once again the chemistry of Neena Gupta & Gajraj Rao is something to watch. Manu Rishi & Sunita Rajwar as Chacha Chachi never disappoints. Special mention to Maanvi Gagroo as Goggle she was funny, beautiful and sympathetic right from the first scene. All in all the movie is entertaining and will surely provide you good laughs.

Hitesh Kewalya has written the story of the film Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan in such a way that every character comes on screen with his different importance.

He is successful in writing Hrishikesh Mukherjee's films like Pasari film, but on many moments, he is unable to stop it from falling apart.

The film's better script and its agile editing could have made it a classic. Many things are missing in 'Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan.'

Ayushmann and his fellow artist Jitendra have given their lives to make Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan a milestone of their time. If you compare between the two, then this film looks more like Jitendra Kumar's film.

In many scenes as a young man who has lost his life on his male partner, he has fallen heavily on Ayushmann.

In the film, the pair of Gajraj Rao and Neena Gupta try to carry on the harmony of their previous movie Badhaai Ho, but here Gajraj Rao is unable to leave an impact on our mind.

Manu and Sunita's pair is more effective than Chacha and Chachi. And, Maanvi Gagroo and Pankhuri Awasthi also managed to impress the audience in their characters.

The biggest drawback of this film is the scattering of the story. Director Hitesh Kewalya had an opportunity where he could present something different from films made earlier on gay relationships. Could rob the applause of the audience.

He also had Ayushmann Khurrana, but he could not capitalize on this opportunity. In an attempt to highlight every character in the movie, they are unable to tell the real story.

If you are a fan of Ayushman Khurana and you are also homophobic in personal life, then with the help of this film, you can remove your doubts in a very entertaining way.

Apart from this, it is an entertaining family entertainer where almost all the stars tie the knot with good acting.

The first part was fun. Once announced, it came to my watchlist right away and I was excited for it. Considering it's a different movie than other, expectations went higher. But what happened? The story that could have been well polished, is wasted. The direction is very poor. Cinematography poor. Poor writing and making it become a dark movie. I don't understand why this comedy has to be dark? BGM was upsetting. Some performces, except the leads, were so poor that we couldn't even bare watching. It's a different story, is a Sit-Com which is the reason it has some positive wom, or else with this direction the movie will go nowhere trust me. Add some unnecessary drama and some missed moments.

I Didn't like the First Installment 'Shubh Mangal Savdhaan' that much cause of the convulatded plot and sloppy execution on the core issue. Unlike here where the message has been successfully delivered with solid entertainment all over it.

Let's Sum up the Pros here,

#1 The Performances are the Soul of this film. With everyone performing to their absolute best! Gajraj Rao, Jeetendra, Manu Rishi, Maanvi they just steal the show!

#2 The cinematography and the sound score is well shot and put. The direction is top notch. As a Debutant, Hitesh Kewalya has done a fantastic job as the director here.

#3 Screenplay and Dialogues are on the upper level. They make you laugh on a consistent basis. The powerful combination of them worked wonders.

#4 The characters and their chemistries in between are Electric. They Gelled so well together. This ensembled cast is something Special. Must mention Ayushmann And Jeetendra. Them, as a Gay Couple lit up the screen. Their Chemistry was on fire.

#5 The most positive thing here is that the a sensitive subject such as Homosexuality has been handled carefully with a fun element in it. It never seemed to force upon its particular views on us. It rather makes us decide to make the call or a generate an opinion on this regard.

But at the same time. The seriousness and the Emotional moments failed to book a place. Cause of the linear writing & fun elements all throughout the runtime. It never really showcases real life sufferings and horrors one might have to suffer because of their different Sexuality in our society. That's the only Con I have in here.

As for the Homosexuality subject, In my opinion 'If two people irrespective of their sexuality and genders love each other with their whole heart and Loyalty. There's nothing wrong in it' It doesn't matter whether We as society encourage that particular relationship or not. But We must not atleast discriminate them. Let them be like they are. Let them Live and love. There's nothing Bigger than Love & Respect. We all have rights for it.
