badrinath ki dulhania (2017)Vaidehi (Alia’s character) is a fiery lass from Kota, who has been cheated in love and now only has eyes towards her career. Varun in his most endearing role to date, charms as Badrinath Bansal, who assists his father in recovering money from debtors. The rustic Govindaesque Badri falls in love with Vaidehi and woos her with song and dance and more. Some of Hindi cinema’s most memorable scenes by male protagonists have been drunken scenes. Varun in one such heart-broken scene at the beach steals your heart. But my favourite scene in the film is when he buys a ‘kamino’ (kimono) for Vaidehi and straps on her ‘seat-belt’ - the sheer guilelessness of the character is what makes you go awww!.
