Ayushmann Khurrana continues to opt for subjects usually regarded taboos in mainstream Hindi Cinema with Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, and the result is both predictable and amusing.
The opening scene of this romantic comedy manages to squeeze a wide smile out of you.
The mood and tone is essentially satirical and puny, laced with melodrama that works at times but feels a little too far-fetched on several occasions. Also, since the film is primarily invested in the small-town drama pertaining to the taboo around same-sex relationships, the writer-director fails to tap on the elements exclusive to small cities and restricts the plotline to one conventional family which snatches away the potential of SMZS being a believable watch.
But if Ayushmann highjacks the film with his infectious energy, a mellow Jitendra balances it out with his poker-faced humour and the relatability factor that he maintains throughout the film; a natural.
It's safe to say that the rest of the cast, too, has been handpicked with much thought.
All in all, may be in distant future, small-town parents will have the strength to accept their offsprings for who they are. But, for now, watch it for the performances and the 'chaska' of love, with two men pouring their hearts out for the world to see and accept.'
