Alia Bhatt's rebellious dulhania meets Varun Dhawan's boy-man Badrinath, what follows is a flavoursome romance which is way ahead of Humpty Sharma ki Dulhania. Sit back and applaud.

This film may not offer a substantial take on any cause, but it is one of the many that take the debate forward. Being mainstream will only help it.

Badrinath Ki Dulhania is a one time watch which has humour, social message, good looking actors and high degrees of emotions. 

Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan's film is a pulpy, uneven romantic caper that strives to pass itself off as a mellow tale of patriarchy, love, honour and ambition

RSVP Yes to this wedding; it’s grand, with good music, great people and delicious food for thought.

Badrinath Ki Dulhania is light, entertaining and likeable. Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt prove that on screen chemistry can be enough sometimes to keep you engaged in an average plot with a predictable narrative.

Badrinath isn't always successful in its continuous attempt to tickle and touch the heart. There are set-pieces that never quite work such as a scene where a man's molestation by a gang of men is supposedly a source of amusement and a superfluous audition to find a groom. Despite a share of dull mo ...  { more

Badrinath Ki Dulhania‘s rom-com with a message format is likable. Alia-Varun once again show, they are the new-age Raj-Simran.

Well acted and well conceived, Badrinath Ki Dulhania and its socially relevant ideas rise above the frivolous execution to give you a solid film. The usual tropes of masala movies like the spunky music and the slick clothes etc add no value to this movie. What does make sense is the fact that it ta ...  { more

Watch it for the impeccably infectious chemistry between Varun and Alia they both nail it to the core and certainly are the most endearing young pair of Bollywood.

Both the Shashank Khaitan movie and Varun Dhawan's character have very few redeeming features. This seems like a film from the '90s. In the '90s, of course, one could get away with all kinds of stuff. Maybe, even now you can after all the lead actors look so effortless and easygoing on screen

Badrinath Ki Dulhania is a hit. It has entertainment for the masses and the classes, for the young and the old, for the girls and the guys, for the big as well as the small centres and for the multiplex audience as well as for the single-screen cinema audience. It will keep the producers, distribut ...  { more

Badrinath is stud of Jhansi helping his dad recover loans. He falls in love with Vaidehi Trivedi who is smart and ambitious. The duo are in love, but in a patriarchal set up, will their love survive?

This is a Varun Dhawan show from start to finish. If you are a fan of his acting talent, you are in for a treat and if you are not, you are in for a treat anyway. Watch it for Varun-Alia’s chemistry and the important subject of gender equality it deals with in the garb of entertainment. This i ...  { more

    Director Shashank Khaitan's Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya is not as amazingly written, performed, danced or sung as HSKD, the first film in this two-parter, but still its more original and richly executed than the former. It has got feminism, romance, Uttar Pradesh and Gwalior on its map, but it doesn't spoon feed you on anything. I especially enjoyed the scenes of nok-jhonk of Vaidehi (Alia Bhatt) and Badri (Varun Dhawan), my favourite being jo ghira tere naino se taanka. The festive colours of the film reflect that the artists are enjoying themselves. It's a good quality. This film is almost Rajkumar Hirani directing a romance.

    Varun and Alia's magic is what makes Badrinath Ki Dulhania a thoroughly
    engaging film. The socially relevant side of Badrinath's story acts as
    a nice buffer and balance to its fluffy and colourful treatment. Well
    acted and well conceived, Badrinath Ki Dulhania and its socially
    relevant ideas rise above the frivolous execution to give you a solid
    film. Badrinath Ki Dulhania has its own set of flaws. But, it is the
    lead cast who wins over your hearts with his beguiling performance and
    makes you forgive the makers for it. The music was good enough with
    recreation of Tamma Tamma and party flavour like 'Aashiq Surrender
    Hua'. The overall direction was fair enough by Shashank Khaitan.

    My Rating : 4/5

    Hindi films about marriages are always fun to watch, if not meaningful. The man who gave us Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania in 2014 is back again, this time with some purpose in his romantic comedy drama story.



    Vaidehi (Alia Bhatt) is a student majoring in English language who has rejected a jobless young man named Badrinath's (Varun Dhawan) marriage proposal. Despite having brought up in a middle-class non-affluent family, Vaidehi is committed to her career, and thus, does not believe in immediate matrimony or all that (read dowry and post-marriage suppression) comes with it. Badri, on the other hand, wants to obsessively make Vaidehi taste some patriarchy, sponsored by his dogmatist father. Both dilly-dally for a while until one of them decides to let go...
