Watched Badhaai Ho ... simple, cute movie, a really fun watch. Ayushman was excellent, so was Neena Gupta, though I felt she had less to do than the other senior actors. The stars of the movie were the actor who plays the dad, and Surekha Sikri as the Dadi ... she had the best one-liners! The actress playing Ayushman's love interest was just okay ... the dance at the end was totally unnecessary as she is a completely ungraceful dancer, and her outfit was atrocious! The lady playing her mom was good. The two sister's in-law of Neena Gupta were TV actors, well known ones - one was Alka Kaushal, Varun Badola's sister ... both were good in their roles. The kid who played Ayushman's brother was decent.
Movie itself was a cute commentary on the hypocrisy of Indian society, done with dollops of humour, but the actual issue was not really addressed in any great depth. I loved the ending, the best scene was the hospital scene when the baby girl is born, and both much(!) older brothers instantly falling in love with their baby sister, the dadi with her poti, and the dad with his daughter ... I can just imagine both older brothers being fiercely protective bade bhaiyyas as the baby sister grows up ... would be fun to watch a sequel on that theme!
