Badrinath Ki Dulhania review: Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt’s hit chemistry gets a thumbs up from critics
Starring Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt, Badrinath Ki Dulhania hits the movie screens today.
Starring Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt, Badrinath Ki Dulhania
hits the movie screens today. Alia and Varun have always been
considered as the ideal pair onscreen and the audience never get enough
of watching them together. They have worked in two films before – Humpty
Sharma Ki Dulhania and Student of The Year and shared a crackling
chemistry. And as long as Badrinath is concerned, the film is doing
pretty well as long as first day is concerned. The reviews are out and
Badri and his Dulhania have given an impressive performance indeed.
Hindustan Times says “It’s all well-intentioned and earnest. But in parts it’s too earnest. The love-versus-respect dialogue gets preachy. And while larger evils such as honour killing are hinted at, they’re banished to an alternate reality, one that’s still a no-go for our mainstream movies.”
“Badrinath… is a move in the right direction. It lacks the realism of hard-hitting indie cinema, but still takes a pertinent subject to a wide audience. In Badri’s goofy humour, and in Vaidehi’s courage, one hopes that people will see a bit of themselves.”
Times of India notes that “Together, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt are the best thing that could have happened to our screens. The beautiful effortlessness of their onscreen companionship plasters a grin on your face. Dhawan as Badri is adorable; you instantly take to him. He even pulls off some high-drama scenes impressively. Bhatt, unsurprisingly, gives it her all, and her sincerity comes through. But her accent, casually swinging between Juhu and Jhansi, is bothersome at times.”
India Today says, “Badrinath Ki Dulhania is peppered with humour; some of it great, but some horribly misplaced. For instance, Badri gets molested by a bunch of muggers who suddenly shift focus from robbing him to make the most of his good looks. As he tries to cover up his torn t-shirt with Vaidehi’s dupatta, the theatre erupts in rip-roaring laughter. So much for a film which champions feminism!”
“For a film with a predictable end as Badrinath Ki Dulhania, the running time seems a bit stretched and could have done with some snipping in the second half, which meanders,” they add further.
BollywoodLife’s Rashma Shetty Bali reviewed the film, giving it 3.5 stars, writes, “Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan prove that their pair means a bona fide success. Shashank Khaitan gives you a movie that you can relax with family and friends on an extended Holi weekend. Go watch it especially for Varun Dhawan!”
