Plot
Prem (Ayushmann Khurrana) is a Haridwar bred middle class guy who is safe to be termed as a man-child. Prem gets shivers with the mention of English language and so hence he prefers to leave his education and work for his father’s recording shop. He is smitten by Kumar Sanu’s voice and listens to his songs on loop. When an unwilling Prem is forced by his overbearing father (Sanjay Mishra) into a marriage with Sandhya (Bhumi Pednekar), who is not only over sized but over educated too, Prem finds himself in a fix. He tries hard go resist this marriage but Sandhya is determined to make it work. In spite of being married to a man who is not even half as qualified as her and whose family still treats him as their kid, Sandhya is trying to overlook all the glitches and give ths marriage a chance.
At one point when Sandhya finally learns that her husband’s perception of her is nothing but a fat lady with whom he can’t even sleep on the same bed, she decides to spare him of this forced marriage.
Will Prem realize that there is more to Sandhya than just her heavy appearance and will the Dum Laga Ke Haisha competition bring them closer is what is left to see!
Actor-wise Review:
Ayushmann Khurrana is successful in washing off his disastrous Hawaizaada memories with this film. He is effortless as the dumb yet attitudistic Prem and finds an instant connect with you. This is probably Ayushmann’s most endearing performance.
Bhumi Pednekar debuts with this film and I have to agree this must have been a challenging debut considering she plays a plus size woman. Bhumi plays Sandhya so well that you actually think she is.
Sanjay Mishra who plays the overbearing father is an excellent actor and he will entertain you and have you in splits with this film. I find his acting extremely genuine and his ease to fit into each character is commendable.
Seema Pahwa as Sandhya’s mother is fabulous. She is perfect as the bride’s mother and when she tells her daughter how to seduce a man, you can’t help but laugh your guts out.
Final Verdict:
Dum Laga Ke Haisha is a straight from the heart film which is easy to connect to. The characters are beautifully crafted and the love story is heart-melting. Undeniably, the smarts are visible in its original thinking but it doesn't translate into a satiating viewing experience.
No over the top dances, shoddy music and bad climaxes, this is YRF’s best films to have come recently.
