Shubh Mangal more careful: film review

The attitude of most Hindi films about gay relationships has been ridiculous. Gay characters were stereotyped. Ever since this relationship has been recognized in India, the attitude of filmmakers has also changed.
'Shubh Mangal more careful' is based on the theme of the same sex-marriage. The story is of two men who desperately love each other. want to get married.
The family of a boy living in Allahabad is shocked to learn about this relationship. They do not approve of it under any circumstances. The fear of Jag Hansi haunts them. In India anyway, such relationships are still not seen with good eyesight.
A few years ago, there was a hide-and-seek film, in which the boys and girls of the traditionalist family live in a live-in-relation ship. Shubh Mangal is more similar family in more careful and live in relationship has been replaced by gay relationship.
Director and writer Hitesh Kevalya
Instead of making a serious film on this relationship, he may have decided to make a film full of laughter and fun so that his film gets maximum audience. There is a lot of fun in the film, but the purpose with which this film was made has been buried somewhere.
The film says that the love of two men should also be viewed in the same way as the love of boy and girl, but this does not emerge in the film and it remains as a normal film.
Karthik (Ayushmann Khurrana) and Aman (Jitendra Kumar), who live in Delhi, want each other. Aman's sister is married in Allahabad and the two go there.
During this time, their relationship becomes known to Aman's father Shankar Tripathi (Gajrao Rao) and gradually everyone gets to know. This breaks the sister's marriage.
The Tripathi family decides to marry their son Aman to a girl.
And Karthik is sent back to Delhi.
Karthik and Aman protest, but no one listens. The way they persuade everyone is the essence of the story.

Now stereo types are being installed. In the auspicious Mars more careful, the same uncle, aunt, mother, father, brother are seen. The rituals of turmeric and marriage are seen there.
Everyone has the disease of speaking too much. In this film, everyone speaks so much that they want to be silenced. Everyone is sitting borrowed to strike a shot. The film did not happen, the radio show was done.
The film did not make a role for Aman and Karthik's love story. It was shown directly that there is love in both. The audience feels difficulty in seeing and accepting this kind of love in two men. A little atmosphere would have been made better.
It takes less love and more gimmick to tell them directly. Since the film itself is not serious about their relationship, how can the audience be serious.
His responsibility has been removed by shooting the kissing scene between Aman and Karthik. This scene makes a change in the viewer's view of the film, but at the same time there are many people for whom it is not easy to watch this scene.
The climax is also not strong. Somehow, the Tripathi family has been given permission to approve this relationship. There is no concrete situation for how everyone's heart changes.
As far as the plus points of the film are concerned, there are many scenes and dialogues that will make you laugh. Good humor has been created about the insanity of the Tripathi family. Some dialog lines also cross. There are some boring scenes too, especially the 15-20 minutes of the beginning are boring.
In Hitesh Kevalya's work, the writer is seen more than the director. He has filmed his writing. He has worked very hard on the dialogues. He needs to get more experience as a director.
The film is weak in terms of song and music. Technically, the film also does not show cleanliness.
Ayushmann Khurrana is an excellent actor, but did not appear in the form in this film. He appeared to be overacting. They had to work extra hard to make themselves appear 'gay'. Jitendra Kumar's election cannot be called right. The chemistry of both is not visible.
Gajraj Rao, Neena Gupta and Manurishi Chaddha are excellent actors and their scenes are fun. Character actors have been overwhelmingly dominating the film's lead actors. Bhumi Pednekar also appears in small and insignificant rolls.
The film is better in pieces, so is Hansati. It wants to talk about the clash of orthodoxy and modernity, but in the matter of making it more entertaining than necessary, the matter is left behind.
