Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania





Cast: Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Siddharth Shukla,Ashutosh Rana,Gaurav Pandey(Shonty),Sahil Vaid(Poplu)
Director: Shashank Khaitan
Genre:  Romance, Comedy, Drama


Decent watch! It doesn't bore you, rather leaves you with some pleasant smiles :)



You may look forward to:

  • The leads, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt, for a change, Varun Dhawan takes away more limelight than Alia in this. He picks up most of the quips and fun in the movie, keeps up with the pace with his boyish charm and romantic looks
  • The story is a lot simple and childish, but not brainless(Thankfully), there are lot of references and adaptation from DDLJ, which are direct references from the movie, with fresh breathers 
  • Story is pretty much cliche, yet direction is what makes it a good watch, so Shashank Khaitan should take the credit for it
  • Humor angle of it was done adequately, never overdone, which helps keep you at a pace through out the length of the movie
  • Siddharth Shukla, was no hunk, but yet played the role of a hunk pretty well :D
  • Ashutosh Rana after a long time, comes as a nice change
  • Supports from Gaurav Pandey and Sahil Vaid, were like any other hero's friends, nevertheless,much appreciated


What you can sleep over:
  • Alia Bhatt for a change didn't have a meaty role to herself, she was rather overshadowed most of the times
  • Music overall was average, except for those two hit numbers which were promoted all the while



The dampeners you should be aware of:

This is a light hearted movie, the only dampener(if at all) could be that there is nothing new about the movie, everything is very cliche. Yet you wont be disappointed, thank the director for that :)





My Rating: 3/5
