Shubh Mangal Saavdhan (2017) SHUBH MANGAL SAAVDHAN is the story of two lovebirds who are about to get married but they stumble across an expected roadblock. Mudit (Ayushmann Khurrana) and Sugandha (Bhumi Pedenkar) fall for each other but neither approaches the other. Sugandha is waiting for Mudit to make the first move. When he does, things however go horribly wrong. Nevertheless, they fall in love and decide to get married. Their respective families also agree for this union. One night, when Mudit is alone with Sugandha at her place, they decide to make love. Sadly, Mudit is unable to perform due to anxiety. A shocked Mudit refuses to even talk about it. Unfortunately, the news of this ‘tragedy’ spreads and Sugandha’s parents find out. They assume Mudit is infertile and contemplate cancelling the wedding. How Mudit and Sugandha come out of this madness forms the rest of the film..

This is brave and bright film with its heart in the right place and its gaze refreshingly free of a gander bias fixed family at the crotch level.

The film perseveres to ensure it doesn't make light of the dysfunction in question, and chooses instead to parody the mayhem triggered by it. This is because aside from all the gags about performance pressure, ED happens to be a serious, rarely spoken of,.

Shubh Mangal Saavdhan could have been the best romantic comedy Bollywood has seen in years. It tackles a risky premise, the humour was brilliant and the performances were first-rate. Unfortunately, the writing suffers a ‘gent’s problem’ towards the .

With its fine zingers and feisty acknowledgement, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan does more for sex, both noun and verb, than any Hindi film can claim to in a long, long time..

Do not at all confuse this film as a sex comedy, IT IS NOT! This film is binded along with making you LOL, will make you think. It tackles a subject which everyone has heard of but very few talk about. Go and see how Bollywood is progressing, go and watch.

Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, breezy enough at its core not to be bogged down by the weight of its daring and untested pivotal plot point, is never less than entertaining..

Prasanna presents Shubh Mangal Saavdhan in a rather flat manner and refuses to give space to characters other than the hero and heroine, leaving behind one mess of what could have been a fun-filled entertainer..

For some reason, the screenplay resorts to an unconvincing turning point towards the end, followed by a few more absurd sequences, including a seemingly forced cameo before going flat out overboard. It's quite the disappointment, and while that doesn't ne.

honest-to-goodness young woman in search of love. I’m now longing to see her do something more than the ‘gharelu-gunwati’ young woman parts : she’s in danger of being typecast. And Khurrana once again is in fine fettle: from a brawny Punjabi ferti.

On the whole, SHUBH MANGAL SAAVDHAN is a light hearted flick that can be seen by the whole family despite its taboo subject. At the box office, it has the potential to grow by word of mouth and emerge as the surprise of the season. Definitely recommended..
