Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)
Bhumi Pednekar’s career-best debut, the nostalgic setting, and a smile that won’t leave your face.
Set in early ’90s Haridwar, the film follows Prem (Khurrana), a failing cassette tape shop owner who lacks ambition, and Sandhya (Pednekar), an educated, plus-sized woman who is mocked for her weight. Forced into an arranged marriage, the two constantly clash until life forces them to pull together—literally, in a hilarious and touching climax involving a traditional wife-carrying race ( dum laga ke haisha ).
