A story of identity confusion between twins isn’t new to Bollywood. There have been several films made on this subject in Bollywood over the past few decades. Anees Bazmee who’s known for his successful stint with humour and his own style of comedy has dabbled with the genre again with Mubarakan – a story of twins Karan and Charan (Arjun Kapoor) who find it hard convincing their families to let them marry their respective girlfriends, played by Ileana Dcruz and Athiya Shetty. Mubarakan is a typical Anees Bazmee film with a twist. The setting oscillates between Punjab and London and the supporting cast comprises of big names like Ratna Pathak Shah and Pavan Malhotra who play heads of families to Karan and Charan. Anil Kapoor plays a bumbling Sardar Kartaar whose decision-making abilities lend to ample humour to this already funny plot. Bazmee weaves drama laced with ample comedy by focusing on the script that has some genuinely funny gags. A big fat Punjabi wedding is in the heart of this film that also builds the right emotional connect with its audience.
