Even in 2022? I thought there are strict laws now

I also heard about women making false accusations...

As dowry still exists that's why you hear about false accusations too about it .

Video doesn't work... What does it say?

Dowry is still a huge problem in India. Not sure why people think it's 70s 80s.

Yeah, Akshay looks too old for the role but only because he has a love interest young enough to be his kid. Should've taken an older actress and made the middle aged romance less cringey.

Imagine Raveena as the love interest, complaining about the decades she wasted over him 😆

Yeah looks like 80s movies conceptwise but maybe still prevalent in small towns

Ya movie concept n taking seems outdated . In reality still prevalent in cities , towns .marrying lgbt Ppl for dowry , bucks n harassing , killing them also ..

I am sure the intent was to make a sweet and earnest movie about familial bonds, especially the brother-sister relationship. But, I found the trailer steeped in regressive and dated tropes that I thought we had left behind.

Firstly, I find the whole idea of a brother refusing to marry before his sisters get married problematic. He's making himself a martyr when he doesn't have to. He is holding his sisters emotionally hostage because now his life is held up due to them. And most importantly, it is unfair to the woman he is seeing. It is unfair to put her life on hold for his self-forced martyrdom.

It is a challenge to get sisters settled. Especially being the sole breadwinner. This is the reality for many men in India. The challenges and tribulations would have been the same even if he was married and trying to get his sisters settled.

I also feel the movie has gone over the top to show the sisters as unruly and wild for comic effect. Good comic writing doesn't need exaggerated characters. You should be laughing with people, not at them. Most disappointing was the overweight sister who is made to seem gluttonous to the point that she would chomp on dog biscuits.

The trailer is drenched in cringe.

"Yaad karte rehna bachpan ka pyaar" Agar uncleji akshay se keh rahe hai, toh akshay ko jab bhumi mili, toh uski age kya rahi hogi? 🤔

Is it just me, or is Bhumi's acting bad in this one? 🤔

What? That's shocking... There's dowry even among gay couple?

And I thought gay marriage is not legal in India

Could you clarify and cite sources? Do you mean Lavendar marriages like the ones in Badhai Do? Because as Betty said, afaik, gay marriages are illegal in India. They can do ceremonies, celebrations and all - there are liberal priests of all faiths and denominations - but the court doesn't recognize them.
