Badhaai Do

This was a wonderful movie. The trailer made me think that it would be another generic 'small town comedy' with a social message (nothing wrong with it, most of these are enjoyable), but this was so much better. It felt more realistic than the Ayushmaan Khurrana movies.

Rajkummar Rao's acting was top-notch, Bhumi Pednekar is slowly and steadily climbing my list of favorite actors. The support cast did a great job too.

Shoutout to the writers as well, nothing over the top, yet real enough that you get the message but also enjoy the movie at the same time.

It's refreshing to watch an original Bollywood when remakes have been the way to go in the recent past. I was a little hesitant about the storyline because similar movies have been made in the past and in fact, social messages are often used as an excuse to make something totally random to sell tickets these days, but this was totally worth it.

I thought that they revealed a little too much in the trailer. *smh* If you have not seen the trailer, don't. Go watch the movie without expectations and you might enjoy it even more.
