Badhaai Ho.. It's a HIT



Director- Amit Ravindernath Sharma

Screenplay and dialogues- Akshat Ghildial

Cast- Ayushmann Khurrana, Sanya Malhotra, Neena Gupta, Gajraj Rao

Badhaai Ho is a coming of age dramedy where a couple in their 50s get to know that they are expecting a kid. They find it difficult to convey this news to their grown up sons.
The sons are shocked and embarrassed and start avoiding their parents.

The film has some really comic and emotional moments.
Neena Gupta and Gajraj Rao are the real stars. The chemistry they share and the way they talk to each other with just expressions is commendable.
The director has given the best scenes to Neena Gupta and Gajraj Rao and like veteran actors they have excelled in every scene.

Ayushman Khurana is good as the older son who never troubled his parents. His love for his family, especially his mother, can be seen easily.

Sanya Malhotra has done full justice to her small role. In a scene in the film she asks Ayushman..
"Hum log jab 50 ke honge to kya Floyd ki jagah Anoop Jalota suna karenge?" 
If only the writer knew that after Big Boss 12, Anoop Jalota was going to become the idol of men of all age groups, they wouldn't have added his name.

There was this dialogue in the film  when Ayushman Khurana shouts at his brother

"Apna kamra chahiye.. Apna kamra chahiye.. Kuch saal aur nahi so sakta tha Mummy Papa ke beech mai"

Every single person in the audience was laughing in this scene.

The film has many such scenes and  dialogues where you will laugh your heart out or feel emotional for the characters.

The film has earned around 30 Crores in 3 days and is going to become another surprise blockbuster of 2018.

In a line, Badhaai Ho is a complete family entertainer which shows the love and bond different members of the family share with each other.

Sui Dhaaga - . "सब बढ़िया है "





Writer & Director- Sharat Kataria


Cast- Varun Dhawan, Anushka Sharma, Raghubir Yadav, Yamini Das, Namit Das

Music- Anu Malik

Lyrics- Varun Grover

Best Dialogue- "Ab Zindagi Ki Cycle Pe To Maarna Padega Pedal… Chahe Mile Ya Na Mile Medal."


Sui Dhaaga is the story of a lower middle class couple who decide to take the first step on the journey of improving their living standards. They face several roadblocks but instead of getting disheartened they treat them as life experiences and continue with their hard work and struggle. 


Mauji played by Varun Dhawan is the heart and soul of the story. He lives by the simple rule "Sab Badhiya Hai" even when everything is going wrong in his life. He is an optimist with a never say die attitude who can't see any of his family member unhappy. 
He has a low paying job where his employers constantly humiliate him, his father thinks he is good for nothing, he has no connection with his wife, he has to cycle for miles in the scorching sun to save few rupees, still, sab badhiya hai.

Anushka Sharma plays the role of Mauji's wife, Mamta. Though she talks less, she is not scared of expressing her opinions. She is a caring wife and the perfect daughter in law. There is only one scene when we see her in her original glory, otherwise through out the film she is shown in printed sarees with the pallu of her saree neatly covering her head. 

Raghubir Yadav as Mauji's father, shines in every scene. In the climax when Mauji wins his father's respect, we cheer for both the father and the son.


Yamini Das as Mauji's mother is a treat to watch. She's so sincere about filling the buckets from the municipality tap that even when she is in the hospital she keeps reminding Mamta about it. She is unlike any other mother- in- law shown in Hindi films and will surely win your heart with her performance.
  
After National Award Winning film, Dum laga ke Haisha (2015), Sharat Kataria is back with another heart warming tale about the underprivileged. The characters are so well written that when Mauji starts working on the sewing machine it looks like he was born to do this. The hospital scenes, the struggle to get a sewing machine, the first time the husband and wife hold hands despite staying in the same home are so real that you will fall in love with them.
The film hints at the corruption in hospitals, over-billing the patients, low wages for workers but mainly is about Mauji's family. How the neighbours unite in times of need is another strong point of the story. Though the director has taken several cinematic liberties, he successfully conveys the message that:"For those who dare to dream big, there is a whole world to win".

Chaav laga is a melodious song which stays in our mind for long.

The film has earned 36 Crores in 3 days and with rave reviews and positive word of mouth it's on it's way to become a box-office success.

In a line, Sui Dhaaga is a total roller coaster of emotions with Varun Dhawan giving his career's best performance. 

Must watch.
