**Storyline:**
As filmmakers increasingly bring LGBTQIA narratives to the forefront, Harshavardhan Kulkarni’s *Badhaai Do* ventures into this space with its unique story. The film stars Rajkummar Rao as Shardul Thakur, a police officer who is gay, and Bhumi Pednekar as Sumi, a lesbian physical education teacher. Together, their journey explores the challenges of coming out and embracing their true selves.
Set against the picturesque backdrop of Dehradun, the story begins with families discussing traditional expectations, particularly marriage. Unaware that Shardul and Sumi are not heterosexual, their families are on the hunt for suitable partners. The sharp-witted Sumi’s dating experiment eventually leads her to Shardul, a humble yet confident cop.
The screenplay, penned by Suman Adhikary, Akshat Ghildial, and Harshavardhan Kulkarni, efficiently introduces the characters and their backgrounds. Their first meeting quickly evolves into a marriage of convenience, though not without its complications. The first half of the film delves into their honeymoon phase and individual romantic endeavors, which at times feel repetitive, particularly with the overuse of songs to depict romance—a common trope in Hindi cinema.
In a society where the LGBTQIA community often faces ignorance or exclusion, *Badhaai Do* attempts to challenge societal norms. However, it occasionally resorts to casual humor targeting moral policing, body shaming, and societal biases, which can come across as cringeworthy.
As Shardul and Sumi navigate their lavender marriage, they must balance their personal lives with the shared world they’ve created. Director Harshavardhan Kulkarni introduces minor conflicts throughout the story, though these never escalate into major plot points. Arguments and family issues are resolved with ease, leaving the audience uncertain about the film’s overarching direction.
