So we have Badrinath Bansal ( Another name for Lord Ram) upholder of the patriarchal society norms - good son, good brother and follows his father words.
His girlfriend Vaidehi ( Sita 's another name) dumps him because she cannot lives in a rigid society where women are not respected and are valued over dowry they bring. Watch how Badri fights his inner daemons and society wins Vadidehi. He is supported by brother and his sis in law Urmlia Shukla ( Lakshaman wife).I am going with 8/10 because it had 1 song in 2nd half too many and climax was too filmy for me..

Badrinath (Varun Dhawan), spoiled younger son of a wealthy family, meets Vaidehi (Alia Bhatt) at a wedding and falls in love with her. She refuses his marriage offer several times, as they don't have similar backgrounds, or the same ideas about women, careers, and dowries. However, he at last persuades her to agree. On their wedding day, Vaidehi makes a decision that rocks Badri's world and he is forced to mature and decide if he will be like his overbearing, misogynistic father, or become his own person.On the face of it, this sounds like a delightful movie, and parts of it are. There are some good songs, solid acting, lovely costumes, and great cinematography. Dhawan and Bhatt have good chemistry together. However, the plot is weak in parts, disconcerting in others, and overall the film is not memorable.

You can call me culturally biased if you like, but I cringed all the way through this. I understand the positive message the director said he was trying to send, but this is not the way to do it.How can you love someone who threatens to kill you and puts you in the boot of his car to take you back to India to kill you there? And the constant fighting...? I simply couldn't put all that out of my mind. And the weighing of a pregnant woman? This may be an old custom, but it certainly treats the woman like an object. And the idea that a woman can't make choices because her father is going to run her life....sorry, it just makes me sick. Just the portrayal of these idea--even it's to criticize them--was too much for me. Sorry.Leaving that aside, there was no real plot, the first half was much better than the second half, and the "humorous" sidekick was just an annoying distraction. What plot there was was simply a repeat of hundreds of other Hindi films. Not a good effort.On the other hand, Alia is radiant, and I look forward to seeing more of her.

The film starts with the Introduction of Varun's Family and his friend Somdev(Sahil) ,Alia's entry going to make you fall is love instantly. Before give my review ,I want to say that few community of people in India going to hate this and those who are criticizing the film are belong to that community only .With the great dialogues and perfect acting of each and every actors the Film is truly a Gem for eyes. Along with the comic scenes & light dialogues the Film also shows the harsh reality of India & if you don't belong to that particular community we will really going to feel bad for the girls , "Girls= Libality & Boy= Assets" that statement will remain with you for long and really make you feel ashamed of that culture of India.The film make you feel why those communities give birth to Girl child, girl is nothing for them just a reason for #hearthattack. A girl can't work the only belongs to Kitchen and a machine to Birth to male child. I must say Karan_jahor gave a slap to those community ,hats off to the director cum writer Shashank Khaitan ,he deserves a standing ovation. Conclusion- Watch it for full entertainment and For Indian harsh reality .. . . ..
