The movie also features <strong>Sahil Vaid<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Rituraj Singh<\/strong>, <strong>Swanand Kirkire<\/strong>, <strong>Yash Sinha<\/strong> and <strong>Shweta Basu Prasad<\/strong> in prominent roles.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the trailer for the movie here,<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content-asset videofit\"><iframe title=\"Badrinath Ki Dulhania - Official Trailer | Karan Johar | Varun Dhawan | Alia Bhatt\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ztX-iGlZ_Ug?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2>Plot<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Badrinath Bansal<\/strong> is a younger son in the <strong>Bansal family<\/strong> from <strong>Jhansi.<\/strong> His father is an <strong>orthodox patriarch<\/strong> and uses his &#8216;<em>oxygen<\/em> <em>cylinder&#8217;<\/em> as a &#8216;weapon&#8217; to get his wish done in the family. Badri&#8217;s elder brother was a victim to this weapon and had to forget his love to marry a girl of his father&#8217;s choice. At a wedding ceremony, Badri spots <strong>Vaidehi<\/strong> and develops an urge to marry her. Vaidehi, on the other hand, is a <strong>career-centric\u00a0girl<\/strong> studying in Kota. She has had suffered a bad relationship in past and gets taunted because of it by his father, who apparently has an &#8216;oxygen cylinder&#8217; of his own. Badri sends a wedding proposal to Vaidehi&#8217;s house through his friend Somnath&#8217;s wedding portal.<\/p>\n<p>Vaidehi outright rejects the proposal. Upon constant insisting by Badri, she agrees to think about the proposal if Badri finds a suitable groom for her sister. Badri does the same and Vaidehi&#8217;s sister and family convince her to get married. But on the day of the marriage, she elopes.<\/p>\n<p>A month later, Badri and his family find out that Vaidehi was in Mumbai and now is in Singapore getting training to be a flight stewardess. Badri&#8217;s father orders him to hunt her down and bring her back to Jhansi\u00a0so that they can hang her at their door as a punishment. Badri and Somnath set towards Singapore to confront Vaidehi. \u0907\u0938\u0915\u0947 \u0906\u0917\u0947 \u0915\u093e Cinema hall \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u091c\u093e\u0915\u0947 \u0926\u0947\u0916\u0928\u093e.<\/p>\n<h2>Story, Screenplay, and Dialogues<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Shashank Khaitan<\/strong> deserves a pat on the back for the <strong>ultra entertaining first half<\/strong> that he has woven. It is full of funny dialogue exchanges from <strong>Badrinath, Vaidehi,\u00a0and Somdev.<\/strong> Somdev stands out from the complete lot as a character well written. One instance that I may never get out of my mind(perhaps) is the <strong>scene in the bus<\/strong> where <strong>Badrinath is trying to woo Vaidehi,<\/strong> while Somdev is trying out on her sister. And an onlooker is trying to intervene, to aid the ladies. That is one brilliant\u00a0set of dialogues. And that is not just the only good dialogue instance.<\/p>\n<p>The characters that Khaitan tells are relatable, but not impacting. Each of them has their character arcs and come full circle. However, the character of Vaidehi was either <strong>underutilized\u00a0or mistreated.<\/strong> The screenplay also, loosens up in the second half, as we get closer to the characters, understand their point of view, but we are <strong>not affected greatly.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Performances<\/h2>\n<p>Starting with the lead, <strong>Varun Dhawan<\/strong>&#8216;s <strong>Badri<\/strong> is loveable, funny, entertaining, and relatable. Another heartfelt performance by him. He shows traces of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swudzy.com\/sultan-movie-review\/\"><strong>Salman Khan<\/strong> <\/a>and <strong>Govinda<\/strong> in his performances. <strong>Sahil Vaid<\/strong> shines out bright in the movie with adequate hilarity and seriousness. However, it is <strong>Alia Bhatt<\/strong>, which disappointed. Not to take this otherwise. She was fine, but this was her first performance after SOTY, that <strong>failed to leave an impact<\/strong> on me. That being said, <strong>I Love You, Alia.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Coming on to supporting cast, <strong>Swanand Kirkire<\/strong> is adorable as Vaidehi&#8217;s father. <strong>Yash Sinha<\/strong> and <strong>Shweta Basu<\/strong> do their job and are acceptable. But, <strong>Rituraj Singh<\/strong>&#8216;s Mr. Bansal looked like a failed attempt at a ruthless orthodox father figure. He is a brilliant performer, but this particular role looked out of line.<\/p>\n<h2>Music<\/h2>\n<p>Ahem! <em><strong>Disclaimer:<\/strong><\/em> <em>This section is not about the overall quality of a\u00a0song, but the use of that song in the movie, it is a movie review after all. Duh.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The first song in the movie is &#8216;<strong>Aashiq Surrender<\/strong>&#8216;. It is a good song, and fits somehow in the situation, but is not engaging enough. &#8216;<strong>Sun Mere Humsafar<\/strong>&#8216; is the best track in the movie and involves the audience an inch closer in the story. &#8216;<strong>Roke Na Ruke Naina<\/strong>&#8216; sounds nice, fits the situation and is soothing. &#8216;<strong>Tamma Tamma Again<\/strong>&#8216; is a total misfit. I mean, in the last scene, the pair is feeling sad at the thought of separation, and next second, they are dancing in a pub, with no sense of that feeling anywhere in their body language. A bad utilization of a good recreation(without rap, the rap is a misfit in the song, personal opinion.). Background music is dealt nicely. Overall<strong> a decent note.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Direction<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Shashank Khaitan<\/strong> tries to replicate Humpty&#8217;s impact, but to me personally, Badri fails to live up to that entertainment. He manages good performances, decent music scores, but, misses out a\u00a0fine edge on the screenplay. He is surely a great director of dialogues. But the flaws are not so big that he be criticized. <strong>He manages to keep the movie engaging.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Badrinath Ki Dulhania rides high on the mass appeal and entertainment value. The brilliant start does not long till the end but, the movie is watchable regardless.
