Padnekar, Sanjay Mishra
Director: Sharat Katariya
It was a fully paisa wasool
moment for me and the audience at the theatre watching the recently released Yashraj
romantic flick – Dum Lagake Haisha. Set in the beautiful city of Haridwar, the
film encapsulates the everyday affair in an Indian family trying to make ends
meet while enjoying the simple pleasures of life.
Chandrabhan Tiwari (Sanjay Mishra)
has a small cassette shop run by his son Prem Prakash Tiwari (Ayushmann Khurana)
– a diehard Kumar Sanu fan. Like any other Indian father, Chandrabhan is worried
about his son’s marriage. Prem Prakash on the other hand seems to be quite
unhappy with the marriage proposition right now, but he has to surrender before
the wishes of his ever dominating father. They finally zero in one of the brides and the
marriage is finally fixed.
Problem starts after marriage when
Prem Prakash and his wife Sandhya (played by Bhumi Padnekar) find it difficult
to continue their marriage life even after Sandhya’s repeated attempts to make love
between them be it by playing English movies with steamy scenes , wearing
nighties or moving too close to her husband when they sleep at night. Frustrated
with his unsuccessful life, Prem Prakash creates a ruckus after getting drunk in
one of his friend’s wedding when he tells his friend about his fat wife. Sandhya overhears the conversation and finding
it vulgar she slaps him.
Feeling hopeless and insulted,
Sandhya returns back to her house and files a divorce against her husband. A
six month period is given to them to make up. While they incessantly try to
patch up with each other the ‘Dum Lagake Haisha’ competition brings them closer
to each other and finally it ends to a happily ever after love story.
Sanjay Mishra adds spark to the
film with his superb acting skills and makes it more real. His witty character will
make you laugh your heart out. Kudos to
Bhumi Phadnekar for making it big in her debut film and bring a real life in
the character of Sandhya Verma. It won’t come as a surprise if she wins the best
debutant actor award this year. Ayushmann Khurrana, the male protagonist will
take you by surprise as he graduates to another level of acting as he does full
justice to his character, Prem Prakash Tiwari. And last but not the least is
Kumar Shanu. Yes, he has not acted in the movie except his entry in the stage
at the end of the film, but has surely kept the audience intact with his
soulful melodious numbers.
A must watch for everyone, the
film has got the dum to make u say HAISAA!
