The movie is a riot \u2013 a riot of colours and humour. Peppy music, near perfect casting, and great cinematography &#8211; director Shashank has got just about everything right. But the chemistry between Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan steals the show.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Plot<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Badrinath Bansal (Varun Dhawan), a 10th grade pass son of a rich moneylender from Jhansi thinks any woman will be lucky to be his bride. His father\u2019s chauvinism and his brother\u2019s meek acquiescence, however, do not stop him from falling in love with a vibrant and ambitious young woman from Kota. Vaidehi Trivedi (Alia Bhatt) is struggling against the weight of her own ambitions and her father\u2019s expectations to marry his two daughters before he retires.<\/p>\n<p>Badri\u2019s repeated efforts to woo her lead him to facilitate her sister\u2019s wedding but Vaidehi\u2019s cold feet makes for a bitter rejection. The second half of the movie takes Vaidehi to Singapore where she intends to pursue her career and Badri follows her nursing his wounds. Will the unlikely couple unite? Will the families now bless the union? Watch BKD to find out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Perfect Combination<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shashank Khaitan deserves a round of applause. The task Khaitan took on was not an easy one \u2013 to take a serious issue of women\u2019s empowerment and to churn out a romantic comedy that will keep the audience entertained every moment. And he managed it with \u00e9lan. The story is rather a simplistic one, but the ease with which the director has managed to keep us glued to our seats is commendable.<\/p>\n<p>Neha Parti Matiyani has captured the beauty and the colours of small towns (like Kota) and global cities (like Singapore) equally well through her lens. The editing is seamless.<\/p>\n<p>Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan come together a third time (after &#8216;Student of the Year&#8217; and and &#8216;Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania&#8217;), and their chemistry is the hottest thing you will watch on-screen this year. Alia as an ambitious young girl torn between love and self-respect and Varun as the enamoured young man struggling to overcome his chauvinistic upbringing, make the perfect team. But the success of BKD lies in the near perfect delivery of the supporting cast. From Rituraj Singh to Sahil Vaid, from Shweta Basu Prasad to Yash Sinha, the production&#8217;s cast delivered stellar performances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Music Review <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Badrinath Ki Dulhania offers a mixed bouquet of songs composed by Amaal Mallik, Tanishk Bagchi, and Akhil Sachdeva. Following the familiar five-song pattern of recent Dharma Production numbers, the film features a sentimental ballad, a remix, a romantic song, a peppy title track and a dance song. The songs are free flowing and at no point stand out, or overshadow the movie.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Soundtracks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Song &#8211; Aashiq Surrender Hua<\/p>\n<p>Singers: Shreya Ghoshal, Amaal Malik<\/p>\n<p>Duration: 4:10<\/p>\n<p>A catchy, quirky number that will get your feet tapping. This is one of the best numbers of the movie.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Song &#8211; Humsafar<\/p>\n<p>Singers: Akhil Sachdeva, Mansheel Gujral<\/p>\n<p>Duration: 4:29<\/p>\n<p>This is a beautiful sentimental number. Akhil Sachdeva\u2019s quivering voice is faintly reminiscent of Talal Mahmood of yesteryears. The Punjabi lyrics interspersing the song add to its melody.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Song &#8211; Badri Ki Dulhania (Title Track)<\/p>\n<p>Singers: Dev Negi, Neha Kakkar, Monali Thakur, Ikka Singh, Rajnigandha Shekhawat<\/p>\n<p>Duration: 3:27<\/p>\n<p>The title track is the Holi song of the season. It is a high energy spin-off on the Muniya song &#8211; fun but devoid of any magic.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Song &#8211; Tamma Tamma Again<\/p>\n<p>Singers: Bappi Lahiri, Anuradha Paudwal, Badshah<\/p>\n<p>Duration: 3:19<\/p>\n<p>The remixed version of this very popular &#8217;90s super hit song is quite enjoyable. Not only has Tanishk remastered the beats, Varun and Alia have completely reinvented the song.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Song &#8211; Roke Na Ruke Naina<\/p>\n<p>Singer: Arijit Singh<\/p>\n<p>Duration: 4:38<\/p>\n<p>A sweet, sentimental number.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s Good?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Everything. Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan breeze through their performances. The humour is light and effortless, and the brand promotions subtle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s Bad?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Badrinath Ki Dulhania is a standard Bollywood flick, albeit a fun movie to watch. If you think that a small town girl\u2019s transition from bride-to-be to an ambitious woman who seeks respect and pride should be dealt with in a serious, somber movie, you should skip this one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cancel any other plans you may have this weekend. Book your tickets and head out to the nearest theatre to watch BKD. You may not bring home the music or an intense drive to empower your daughters, but you certainly will have had a wonderful time.<\/p>\n<p>If you thought that small towns like Jhansi and Kota with their \u2018Mata ki Chowki\u2019 culture are devoid of beautiful sights and fun, do not miss this movie for a change of heart. BKD is a full-on &#8216;Paisa Wasool&#8217; movie!<\/p>\n<p>Rating &#8211; ****<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Read More&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/movies\" target=\"_blank\">Hindi Movie Reviews<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/movies\/new-upcoming-movies-releasing-this-week-on-friday\" target=\"_blank\">Upcoming Bollywood Movies<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Badrinath Ki Dulhania Movie Review Starring &#8211; Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Sahil Vaid, Rituraj Singh, Mohit Marwah, Swanand Kirkire, Aakanksha Singh, Gauhar Khan Directed by \u2013 Shashank Khaitan Produced by \u2013 Hiroo Yash Johar, Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta (Production House &#8211; Dharma Productions) Written by \u2013 Shashank Khaitan Cinematography by \u2013 Neha Parti Matiyani Edited [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":91,"featured_media":67943,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[7578,7337,6527,6674,7391],"class_list":{"0":"post-67929","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-badrinath-ki-dulhania","9":"tag-bollywood-movie-review","10":"tag-hindi-movies","11":"tag-movie-review","12":"tag-movie-review-2017"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67929","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/91"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67929"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67929\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":68150,"href":"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67929\/revisions\/68150"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67929"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67929"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67929"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
