Badhaai Ho

Dialogue writer Ghildial coats a taboo topic in a veneer of humour. The screenplay builds in just the right amount of emotional nudges and Sharma's direction binds together all the elements to deliver a satisfying watch.

BADHAAI HO is just a really lovable and enjoyable feel-good film with a great ensemble cast and a good mix blend of humor and drama.

Badhaai Ho is a delightful comedy that exposes society's hypocrisy toward sex. It underlines our unwillingness to view our parents as sexual beings...

It brings with itself an assurance that a good film with a good story told convincingly will always find its takers.

It's a testament to the art of casting that the film is allowed to hinge on an actress in the position to draw from her own fierce individuality and life experience in the face of similar odds.

Priyamvada fades out of the view as Badhaai Ho chases a different set of expectations. Priyamvada's thoughts barely matter, which is a gaping hole in a movie that pays close attention to each of its characters...

The second half falters and the comic moments become sporadic, but Akshat Ghildial's screenplay retains its charm.

Congratulations indeed to director Amit Ravindernath Sharma for making a hugely entertaining film.

Surekha Sikri is rollicking good fun as the cantankerous Dadi who turns out to be not quite as old-fashioned as you might think...

The dialogues are a riot.
