Honestly enjoyed this film for the most part, it is a timepass film. The cinematography and styling is really fun and pops, the writing works well in parts. There is fun writing with comedy that generates laughs unlikes the cringe we have been getting in the name of comedy these days. The relationships and all are well explored, though the story is a little predictable in parts.
Vishwak Sen performs surprisingly well. I've gotten used to seeing him in more massy, serious roles so it was a breath of fresh air to see him in such a classy, grounded role. All the characters performed well with Rushkar Dillon and Vishwak's uncle character standing out more.
The film is nice and lighthearted though you can kind of see the direction it is taking. Definitely not too new but still has fun writing making it good time pass, however, my issue was with the topic they were discussing largely towards the end. They talk about marriage at later ages but this is done in a very amateurish way. Vishwak argues that it's not a crime to marry at 36, but no one said that. Other considerations for such a late marriage are an increase in genetic defects in the baby born, especially in women, and being quite old when child grows up. They fail to provide any counter to the actual reasonings to oppose later aged marriages nor give reasoning to why it's fine, not even the points about being ready for marriage or finding the right person (they kind of reach here). I wish they explored this point in a little more depth as it is a little serious of an issue with at least acknowledgement of the other side. But still manages to be a fun, lighthearted film regardless of that.
Overall, a fun, lighthearted movie reminding us of COVID days and the various ways relatives behave during reunions, but falters in attempting to send a message regarding later age marriages and considering any of its pros or cons.
