Feminism
marinated with the masala’s of Karan Johar’s, ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya’s
leftover ingredients and Govinda’s ‘lost recipe’ found are served on screen.
How many times you have seen an ambitious and rebellious small town girl
running away on her wedding day? I know, many times but its ok because these
Bollywood bigwigs feel that the audience has a short term memory loss like our
own hero of ‘Gajini’. So if you can handle once more to sit through the ordeal
of slapstick comedy which will take you through the Govinda, Sallu and Karisma types
of performances then go ahead. Sahil Vaid as ‘Somdev’ the sidekick of Badri is
unbearable. Thank God there was no ‘Jolly LLB 2’ type of a ‘Holi’ song which literally
killed our penchant for ‘Holi’ songs.

Varun
Dhawan as Badrinath and Alia as Vaidehi are good but fails miserably to touch
your heart’s strings by their performances. They act well but fails to live
their character they play. The end result is forced comic situations, untimely
song sequences and melodrama. To mask the weak storyline and screenplay the
filmmaker use women empowerment, gender equality and anti-dowry stand as refuge
and piggy ride the slogan making the round these days - ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padao’.
Such topics which needs to be conveyed in a more sensible and responsible way has
been trivialized by Writer and Director Shashank Khiatan.

The
story of Badrinath Ki Dulhanya hovers around two cities Jhansi and Kota and
being a Dharma production film ‘Aadath se majboor’ the unit travels to
Singapore too. Arey foreign location tho banta hai!!! It seems the dead
resurrects - Laila Mai Laila in Raees, Haseeno Ka Deewana in Kaabil and now
Tamma Tamma in BKD. All the characters are jut cutouts and nothing else. If you
have no other option this ‘Holi’ season then go and watch BKD. God Bless and
save Bollywood!!!
