The track of Mudit’s old flame Neha complicates the narrative.

It becomes difficult to comprehend exactly what’s going on. Unfortunately, the second half is where the film slips. The makers in fact deserve loads of kudos for handling such a taboo topic so beautifully. The sequences are peppered by humour but it never even once gets indecent. In fact the entire film is sensitively executed.

This crucial sequence is very well handled. Of course, the film really picks up when the lovers decide to have sex but fail. The introduction of characters is done swiftly and it’s all done in an entertaining way. In just 105 minutes of duration, the film packs in a lot. Shubh Mangal Saavdhan's two biggest strengths are its dialogues and the duration. How Mudit and Sugandha come out of this madness forms the rest of the film. They assume Mudit is infertile and contemplate cancelling the wedding. Unfortunately, the news of this ‘tragedy’ spreads and Sugandha’s parents find out. A shocked Mudit refuses to even talk about it. Sadly, Mudit is unable to perform due to anxiety. One night, when Mudit is alone with Sugandha at her place, they decide to make love. Their respective families also agree for this union. Nevertheless, they fall in love and decide to get married. When he does, things however go horribly wrong.

Sugandha is waiting for Mudit to make the first move. Mudit (Ayushmann Khurrana) and Sugandha (Bhumi Pedenkar) fall for each other but neither approaches the other. SHUBH MANGAL SAAVDHAN is the story of two lovebirds who are about to get married but they stumble across an expected roadblock. So, does it manage to entertain and amuse or does it turn out to be a poor show, let’s analyse. Five years later, SHUBH MANGAL SAAVDHAN makers attempt to recreate the magic of VICKY DONOR or go even beyond, as the film talks about erectile dysfunction. Despite being based on a taboo subject, it was accepted widely and was hailed as a family entertainer. It dealt with sperm donation but it was handled sensitively and smartly. In 2012, VICKY DONOR turned out to be a landmark film in Hindi cinema. Shubh Mangal Saavdhan Review & Review Rating
