Doctor G

This is a dramedy - in fact it is primarily a drama with some lighter moments. It is much more serious than some other serious issues Khurana has tackled in most of his other comedies. The director is confused whether to treat it as a comedy or a drama and it is essentially a drama after the first third of the movie.

Khurana has become formulaic in that he acts as the protagonist in a social issue movie which has some light hearted moments.

This could have been a comedy-drama like Ted Lasso which makes you smile and also swell up. But, the movie misses its potential by making the storyline too complicated.

Much akin to Ayushmann's prior social dramas, which claim a large majority of his filmography to date, the film does effectively emancipate its core message but fails to create a long-lasting impression. Incompetencies not only did lie in the write-up, but the loopholes were also quite pronounced in its overall exhibition.

The humor doesn't function, the characters and their interrelationships are not explored enough, on the contrary, some of the peculiar character decisions make their case even more convoluted and breed needless contradictions. Apart from these, there are no other glaring missteps. Make no mistake, it is not a terrible film, but the kind of subject they have dealt with, it mandates a rather sincere attempt.

Before interval everything seems interesting and after that everything changes to disappoint

You'll enjoy the first half of the movie as it is filled with good jokes and punch lines. In the second half everything goes down hill as the story takes a very different approach towards the characters.

The cast is really great as acting wise everyone does a fabulous job

I have given it a 7 star just coz of the performance by the actors. Other than that it will stoop even lower.

The song Step Copy was also missing from the movie, saw it on the YouTube ads god knows what was going on.

I don't get the message......we are supposed to get message like being a male gynecologist is fine but at the end we got the message like female having male bestie is fine.

I don't get this.....having boyfriend but still enjoying everything else with other man is fine.

Engaging to one man , kissing another and saying I want you in my life as a friend. Kissing someone doesn't means you want him as a friend. What the mindset of bollywood.if boy did the same with girl then everything get changed. Girl don't even want her bf went out with girl . But girl kissed his friend is normal . From the beginning i am supposed to get a good message but everything changed suddenly and fall to the side to feminism.

One of the film's strengths lies in its unique premise. By focusing on a male gynecologist in a predominantly female field, the film sheds light on the challenges and prejudices that come with breaking gender norms. The film effectively uses humor to address serious issues, making its social commentary accessible without feeling too preachy.

The supporting cast also deserves recognition. Shefali Shah and Rakul Preet Singh bring depth to their roles, offering performances that complement Khurrana's and add layers to the story. Their characters are well-developed, providing a balance to the film's comedic elements and grounding it in reality.

However, Doctor G isn't without its weaknesses. The romantic subplot feels predictable and sometimes unnecessary, detracting from the film's core themes. While the chemistry between the leads is pleasant, the romance doesn't add much to the story, and the resolution is foreseeable from early on. Similarly, some of the dialogue feels clichéd, lacking the sharpness needed to elevate the script to its full potential.

In the end, this film delivers a mixed bag, with its strengths lying in its thematic exploration and performances, while its weaknesses stem from a predictable romance and occasional lapses in dialogue. For those looking for a film that combines social commentary with laughs, the film offers an entertaining ride, even if it occasionally follows a familiar path.
