Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana
Critic reviews and ratings
-
The film ticks all Bollywood boxes -- romance, drama, revenge, songs et al. But beyond the song and dance routine, it also shines light on gender inequality, dowry and corruption, holding a mirror up to us as a people.
-
What then keeps you engaged despite the rather implausible plot riddled with misunderstandings is some real good performances, led by the very talented Rajkummar Rao.
-
...lukewarm fare.
-
...is one romantic drama that even Rajkummar Rao’s reliable performance cannot rescue.
-
...it’s a film that had potential to be a sweet love story. However, this one doesn’t quite get there because it’s not passionate enough on any count—be it in its social messaging--or be it in the romance.
-
You get a ridiculous romance free with an intense revenge drama. Unfortunately, you leave with an after-taste of the silly rom-com instead of the well-written revenge bits.
-
...talks about the dowry system, the inequality towards women in civil services and general working opportunities etc, it really feels like a mature and relevant story. But the treatment is so lackluster that it relegates the movie to Indian soap opera status. It’s a definite letdown.
-
...rests on an interesting idea but the treatment is lacklustre.
-
...is strictly enjoyable only in parts. Don't expect it to be an interesting affair as it might give you a headache in the second half.
-
...sets up its plot with confidence and coherence before going off the rails in spectacular and painful fashion.
-
Rajkummar Rao is earnest and tries to give his best to a film that doesn’t deserve it.
-
If the noble cause of this film was to train societal soch, the regressive characters could've at least gone through a mindset makeover by the climax. But the only transformation here, happens for those in the audience — greying guaranteed.
-
...while the film gets you chuckling at times, it disappoints you for being a mixture of familiar works and for not justifying the issues it supposedly deals with.
-
In an attempt to propagate the message of 'family-first', the movie employs misconceptions and stereotypes, making it impossible to engage with the lead characters.
-
...is a massive, uncontrollable cinematic blob that runs its tiresome two-and-a-half-hour course without ever getting its perspectives in order.
-
...a terrible, terrible film.
-
The melodrama is too much, the pace is too slow and the second half is unbearable.
-
For a film that ostensibly sets out to speak against the ills of dowry, Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana is surprisingly, and dangerously muted.
