R.S. Prasanna remakes his tamil-hit Kalyana Samayal Saadham & gives us 'Shubh Mangal Saavdhan'. And this hindi remake, is a deliightful ride!

'Shubh Mangal Saavdhan' Synopsis: A couple ( Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar) fall in love but then the groom discovers that he suffers from erectile dysfunction. Chaos Ensures....

'Shubh Mangal Saavdhan' humorously conveys stereotypes on masculinity & societal hypocrisy's. Hitesh Kewalya's Screnplay explores the journey of a couple dealing with an important issue, that ensures much chaos, not in their lives, but also in their respective lives. And its all done in a funny, yet affecting manner. This isn't a sex-comedy nor it does it ever get vulgar in its language, this is a family-friend romantic-comedy, made with the sensibility of ensuring a wide audience. And to their fortune, the film was roaring success last year upon its release!

R.S. Prasanna's Direction is wonderful. Cinematography is perfect. Editing, also, is credibly done. Art & Costume Design are well-done. Rachita Arora's Background Score is superb.

Performance-Wise: Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar are in very good form. Ayushmann enacts the man going through a serious problem, with the perfect blend of fear & care. Bhumi compliments Ayushmann all through & portrays the woman who must understand her lover's problem, despite societal pressures. In supporting roles, Seema Pahwa, Neeraj Sood, Supriya Shukla & Brijendra Kala are simply remarkable. Anshul Chauhan, also, leaves a strong impression.

On the whole, 'Shubh Mangal Saavdhan' is a small little gem, that demands a viewing. Strongly Recommended!

Shubh Mangal Saavdhan tries too hard to be perceived as a comedy drama, but all that it manages to do during its 100+ running time can be described as below average stuff. The central idea of a man (Ayushmann Khurrana) realizing that he has erectile dysfunction (ED) and that his fiancee (Bhumi Pednekar) tries to help him find a solution is pretty interesting, but that's all the film has in store for us. The treatment of the story - where not once do they mention ED or anything obscene - is the second best and the only satisfying thing about Shubh Mangal Saavdhan. The problem is that there is not enough content to fill the balloon here, and the few jokes and witty dialogues that have been sprinkled here and there fall short. Somewhere you get the inkling that this whole thing is going to turn into a mess, thanks to the over-decorated characters, and unfortunately that's what the climax is. Khurrana plays decently but Pednekar becomes nauseating as this typecast role that she's been playing ever since she entered Bollywood. Overall, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan is a rushed effort at showcasing exaggerated buffoonery at an Indian wedding. There is no special need to appreciate this kind of hyperbole even if it's meant for humor. TN.

The story is about a boy Mudit Sharma, (Ayushmann Khurrana) who gets engaged to a girl, Sugandha (Bhumi Pednekar). It is going to be an arranged marriage and the extended families of both are looking forward to it. However due to erectile dysfunction, Mudit can't get it up and on the advice of his friends tries out various quacks treating impotency.
