Badrinath ki Dulhaniya

Movie Review (Hindi)

I avoid movies starring Varun Dhawan, but this movie came as a pleasant surprise. Though the movie was embellished with ridiculous songs and dance sequences, the story itself had a good message and knowing our audience, such movies are an excellent way of reaching out to the public.

In middle class households with a conservative upbringing, it is difficult for girls to fight for a better life. The entire town seems to conspire against you. And here is Alia Bhatt's character who becomes a runaway bride and chooses to fly, literally.
And not just that, Varun's character, called Badri, follows her all the way to Singapore to get her back and extract revenge. But seeing her and her ambitions, he is a changed man. It all turns very bollywoodish, but the message is clear - Listen to your daughters and do not kill their dreams.
