What’s Hot

  • Shoojit Sarcar, the film’s director has made a film that is extremely top-notch in content as well as entertainment value! Tough to believe he isn’t a maker of many films. Kudos to John Abraham too for coming forward to produce a film like this.
  • The film’s hero Ayushmann Khurrana performs effortlessly inspite of this being his debut feature film ! The ease at which he displays a wide variety of emotions in the film is commendable.
  • Annu Kapoor delivers an award-worthy performance as the doctor who is always thinking about sperms. His comic mannerisms while he describes sperms in various adjectives like greedy, complicated etc. are top-notch. Yami Gautam is adorable and carries off her role well towards the end.
  • The hero’s mom and especially the grandmom light up the screen whenever they are around. The way they enjoy a drink will put even hardcore male drinkers to shame. The Bengali family of bride also provide some enjoyable moments when they deliberate about the merits of Bengalis and the demerits of Punjabis. The big fat Indian wedding is a real treat.
  • The film has excellent music by Abhishek-Aksha & team and both the versions of Pani Da Rang are touchy.
  • The humor quotient of the movie is its biggest USP. The movie does lose its pace and energy when it becomes serious in the 2nd half for a while but, it recovers pretty well.

What’s Not

  • The movie might not appeal to people who are a bit sensitive about sex and fertility. There is more than a fair share of ‘sperm’ mentions in the movie.

Verdict Stamp

A very taboo concept, entertainingly presented, at a shoe-string budget, from a new team.
