The film has lovely songs which can be heard on loop. I absolutely loved the (although predictable) climax!

However, despite having average dialogues and poor acting from the female lead, director Ajay K Pannalal succeeds in making the film an entertaining and interesting watch. The film actually starts in the second half and gains pace steadily. The first half seems unnecessarily dragged and a good 15-20 minutes could have been edited easily. Gulshan Grover is excellent in his cameo and it would be great had he got a little more screen time. Ninad Kamat is natural and delivers a lovely performance as Binny’s elder brother. I loved Herry Tangri and Darshan Jariwala, the only two actors who kept reminding me that it’s a comedy film. Her half-hearted performance or probably limited ability to act (as the female lead) is noticeable throughout the film and is surely disappointing. It’s high time Shruti Haasan starts taking acting lessons.

I would recommend watching the film just for him if not for anything else! Rajkummar Rao is an absolute delight to watch. Gattu’s silence, especially at times when he really needs to speak up, is irritating and you feel like almost entering the movie and retorting on his behalf. The film teaches us that silence is not always golden. While the story is interesting, it would have been better if the duration (2 hours 8 minutes) would be a little less. The dialogues are more or less average and needed a little more attention. However, I feel it’s normally practiced by high school children in our country.Īlthough covered in the garb of comedy, they have touched upon a very crucial issue called honour killing, which is prevalent in various parts of northern India.

The concept of boys hiding on a rakhee day in order to avoid getting ‘rakhied’ by the girls they admire, is very relatable. The script written by Vinit Vyas and Rajat Nonia is unique and fresh. Watch this film to know what happens in the end! In the middle of all this confusion, nobody notices that it is Gattu and Binny who are in love with each other and hence they continue to treat the two as siblings. Bhure’s family, who are milk sellers cum criminals swear to take revenge of this insult and take it as a challenge to get Binny married to Bhure.īinny’s brother, meanwhile, gets her engaged to an NRI Rahul (Gautam Gulati). Trouble begins when Jaydev loses his cool and lands a tight slap on Bhure’s face. Meanwhile, Gattu’s father (Darshan Jariwala) spots Binny with his friend Bhure (Herry Tangri) on his bike and considers it as his responsibility to immediately inform Binny’s elder brother Jaydev (Ninad Kamat) about Binny and Bhure’s affair. When he finally does that, Binny falls for him too. He loves Binny but he is very shy and can never muster the courage to speak up. Gattu has successfully managed to hide on the day of rakhee all his life just to avoid getting a rakhee from Binny. Gattu describes his childhood love Binny as his ‘nikkar ke zamaane ki mohabbat’ but the ‘problem’ is they are neighbours and the entire mohalla including Gattu’s father firmly believe that ‘mohalle ki ladkiyan maa behen hoti hai’ and hence they consider Gattu as Binny’s brother.īinny bullies her admirers by tying rakhee on their wrist and turning them into her rakhee brothers. Lucknow’s Shiv Nautiyal aka Gattu (Rajkummar Rao) and Binny Arora’s (Shruti Haasan) house are right in front of each other.
