Badhaai Do, a sequel to Badhaai Ho is a coming of age movie, which breaks the shackles of traditional Indian families through its offbeat theme and story.
Shardul Thakur (Rajkumar Rao) is a police cop. His widowed mother Mrs Thakur (Sheeba Chaddha) is worried about her son's marriage. Suman Singh aka Sumi (Bhumi Pednekar) is a physical education teacher.
Sumi and Shardul meet each other coincidentally and decide to get married in order to keep the seniors of their respective family happy, knowing very well that they are biologically opposite personalities. Shardul is a gay and Sumi is a lesbian.
What will transpire once the respective families learn about this hidden secret of personalities? Will their biologically unnatural marriage survive?
Movie is a wholesome entertainer with great direction by Harshvardhan Kulkarni. Script is well-written by Suman Adhikary, Akshat Ghildial and the Harshvardhan Kulkarni. Dialogues are fantastic. Music of the movie is soothing, melodious and foot-tapping by composers Hitesh Sonik, Amit Trivedi, Ankit Tiwari and others.
Rajkumar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar deliver winning performances. Newcomer Chum Darang who plays Sumi's girlfriend looks promising. Supporting actors including Seema Pahwa, Sheeba Chaddha and Sumi's parents play their part well. Gulshan Deviah in a special appearance is good.
Movie leaves an impact with an important social message relevant in today's changing times.
Now streaming on Netflix.

Well written! I watched the movie recently and was pleasantly surprised to see Wynberg Allen. I was also quite surprised with the end of the movie.
