This is probably the best way to educate the majority of India regarding homosexuality. Even very serious scenes are made in a fun way. The people who gave negative reviews probably didn't get director's intentions. He meant movie to be silly. But still it has something important to say. Another thing I loved was the portrayal of gay characters. They don't have any stereotypical mannerisms of gays. It's funny but it doesn't make any gay jokes. And using the iconic scene from DDLJ was brilliant. We always get to see a man and woman in love. But we never got to see a man and man in love or a woman and woman in love. This is a really fun movie to watch. I didn't expect much and maybe that's why I enjoyed it so much.

Hilarious take on Homophobia. (Actual Rating is 7 but I'm generous with a 10)
Top of the Tier Entertainer, That Delivers the Core Message Fluently!
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.
One-Line Review: Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan / Ambitious Social Drama Affected by Overzealous Writing / 4 Stars
Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan (tweaked Hindu wedding ritual chant) has great positioning of its social messaging (about acceptance of gay relationships within Indian conservative families) but tries hard to be smart and ends up as an oversmart drama that borderline mocks the very theme that it tries to break the taboo off. TN.
