The movie, set to release on Amazon Prime Video, has garnered attention for its bold themes and intimate scenes. It received an ‘A’ certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) without cuts, though minor modifications were suggested by the Examining Committee.
The film explores complex relationships and infidelity, offering a fresh perspective for Indian audiences. Deepika Padukone, who plays the character Alisha, shared her key takeaway from the project: understanding others’ actions without judgment fosters empathy. The story follows Alisha as she navigates a complicated affair with Zain, her cousin’s fiancé, while being in a long-term relationship with Karan, who remains oblivious to her betrayal.
Gehraiyaan is notable for being the first Hindi film to credit an Intimacy Director, treating intimacy as a central character. However, Batra emphasized that the focus on intimacy has overshadowed the film’s narrative, which delves deeper into emotional complexities. The movie’s promotional material has highlighted its bold themes, making it a topic of widespread discussion.
