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.

What makes Badrinath Ki Dulhania work, really, is the intent and the two principal actors…

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 moments, Khaitan does manage to give some tropes refreshing spins and does well by emphasising on the significance of respect in a relationship. He doesn’t shy away from highlighting Badri’s and Vaidehi’s imperfections. The biggest takeaway from Badrinath is that a woman leads the way and saves the day. She alters the hero’s mindset and makes him a more considerate man. A better title would have been Vaidehi Ka Dulha.

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 takes run of the mill romance and turns it into a quirky and very entertaining experience. This one’s a definite must watch.

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, distributors and exhibitors smiling from ear to ear.

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?

‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’ is entertainingly meaningful and will be liked by the youngsters as well as the family audience.

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 is the first true blue family entertainer of this year so far. Do not miss it.

Badrinath Ki Dulhania seems to go about it rather lazily – taking the simplest “next steps” without a introspective and/or an exploratory eye at, what real life dowry cases or cases where a woman is held down, look like.

…just like a big fat Indian wedding, there’s a bit of colour, dance, music and loads of drama thrown into Badrinath Ki Dulhania. Take the plunge with Dhawan and Bhatt. Their combined acting skills and comic timing will make it an enjoyable affair.

Badrinath Ki Dulhania has its own set of flaws. But, it’s the Dhawan boy (a brownie point for him) who wins over your hearts with his beguiling performance and makes you forgive the makers for it. Go for it if you are looking for some laughs, breeze and a story with its heart at the right place!

There are several humorous moments between the sturdy supporting actors which salvage the odds. Varun gets a standout one when he buys a kamino (kimono) for Alia. Do you watch it? Yes. For the point it makes. For Alia, who sparkles as a no nonsense, all business beauty. For Varun, who makes all the effort come together in the end. Let’s not underrate the boy. He can do it all, be gritty, act fabulously, be his character and all of it while dancing like a star. May be there is already a superstar here. 

The film is a full on masala entertainer with powerful acting by the actors, groovy songs, funny dialogues and marvellous chemistry, a typical Karan Johar film with Shashank Khaitan’s special touch to it. This Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt starrer surely delivers a thunderous Holi blockbuster.
