Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Blistering performances.

Badrinath (Varun Dhawan), spoiled younger son of a wealthy family, meets Vaidehi (Alia Bhatt) at a wedding and falls in love with her. She refuses his marriage offer several times, as they don't have similar backgrounds, or the same ideas about women, careers, and dowries. However, he at last persuades her to agree. On their wedding day, Vaidehi makes a decision that rocks Badri's world and he is forced to mature and decide if he will be like his overbearing, misogynistic father, or become his own person.On the face of it, this sounds like a delightful movie, and parts of it are. There are some good songs, solid acting, lovely costumes, and great cinematography. Dhawan and Bhatt have good chemistry together. However, the plot is weak in parts, disconcerting in others, and overall the film is not memorable.

It was definitely a well balanced film which consists the right amount of romance, comedy, human emotion, drama and reality of the society.Unlike other films it does not sugarcoat the fact of existing dowry system of the society and frankly showed the general emotion about it in the mind contemporary youth.The story was well crafted and had a balanced combination of everything. The first half was full of fun and entertainment, and the second half was allocated for the complex emotional part; which made the film all the more enjoyable.The casting was also superb. It is always a breath of fresh air to watch age appropriate actor and actress perform together, rather than the odd pair of old actor and young actress. So it was great to see Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan together again. They both matured a lot in acing and their on screen chemistry was phenomenal. They both looked fabulous throughout the film. And the tracks of the films are quite good also. I really enjoyed the film. You should also watch the film and it is safe to say that you will also like the film and the characters of the film.RECOMMENDED.

Badrinath ki Dulhaniya is a watchable film.The story is interesting. The narrative is also about how women are regarded in general in the sub continent, and the message is in the way Alia and Badri deal with this.Alia and Varun do justice to their roles and you cant help feeling how sweet they both come across as!This film would have been a lot better without the music - not particularly melodious - and could have been shorter.Nice overall, but certainly not brilliant. Oh ... and a lot better than the never ending Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

You can call me culturally biased if you like, but I cringed all the way through this. I understand the positive message the director said he was trying to send, but this is not the way to do it.How can you love someone who threatens to kill you and puts you in the boot of his car to take you back to India to kill you there? And the constant fighting...? I simply couldn't put all that out of my mind. And the weighing of a pregnant woman? This may be an old custom, but it certainly treats the woman like an object. And the idea that a woman can't make choices because her father is going to run her life....sorry, it just makes me sick. Just the portrayal of these idea--even it's to criticize them--was too much for me. Sorry.Leaving that aside, there was no real plot, the first half was much better than the second half, and the "humorous" sidekick was just an annoying distraction. What plot there was was simply a repeat of hundreds of other Hindi films. Not a good effort.On the other hand, Alia is radiant, and I look forward to seeing more of her.
