Went in expecting a typical light entertainer and while it stays in that space, it surprised me in parts. Ayushmann is right in his comfort zone, natural throughout and not trying too hard to be funny. The biggest win for me is how Sara, Wamiqa and Rakul are treated properly in the story instead of being reduced to eye-candy. They each have solid presence and moments to shine, which makes the dynamics way more engaging.

That said, the overall story feels a bit familiar and you can predict where it's heading at times. The humour works for the most part, but in a few scenes it slows down or becomes slightly repetitive instead of staying consistent.

Vijay Raaz and Tigmanshu Dhulia absolutely steal scenes whenever they appear, especially Tigmanshu - there's a Bollywood line from him that people will keep quoting.

The film runs on pure confusion-based humour and it works because the setup is clean, even if it doesn't push beyond that. Ayushmann plays a forest officer stuck in a messy situation involving his wife, his colleague and Sara's character, which just keeps escalating.

I also liked the small details like the Prayagraj accent, which felt authentic rather than forced, and the mix of new songs and older tracks that keep the mood going.

Big plus is the runtime - it's under two hours and you feel it in a good way because nothing drags. It ends on a proper high and you walk out smiling. It's not groundbreaking and could have done more with its idea, but as a theatre experience it's still genuinely fun to watch.

Went in with pretty low expectations but it holds up as a fun watch. Ayushmann does his usual thing, but the film benefits a lot from how active the supporting cast feels. Nobody is just there for the sake of it. Even when the story feels a bit predictable, the performances keep it engaging.

Pradeep

Tigmanshu Dhulia just came, ate and left. That's it.

Kishore

Not groundbreaking, but we don't get many clean entertainers like this anymore. It does its job and keeps you engaged.

Arisha

The story is definitely something we've seen before, no doubt, but the film knows that and doesn't try to oversell itself. It focuses more on keeping the situations entertaining rather than being clever, which works most of the time.

Rohit

Went in thinking this would be another loud confusion comedy but it's a bit more controlled than that. The writing is simple, but the actors make it work. Ayushmann is reliable as always, and I liked that the others also get enough space to shine instead of just revolving around him.

Seema

It's a decent entertainer and I got entertained, which is good value for Rs 130. XD

Jignesh

Felt like the film could've taken a few more risks with the story instead of playing safe... but still had fun watching it.

Hardik

It was such a nonsense movie. I know humour is subjective but a few portions in this movie just cringed me out.

Ashok

[SPOILER ALERT]

>!There is a side character whose whole shtick is that he's supposedly gay - the flamboyant over-the-top type. It felt weird. There's also a segment that is straight up homophobia. The climax has Tigmanshu's character choosing between caste bigotry and homophobia, and he picks homophobia.!The movie was fun at parts though.!<

Hari

The homophobia in the movie... And the cop harassing couples presented in a funny way... No, the movie was absolute shii.
