I love this movie.
This is a great film. I love this movie. Reminds me, as always, dont judge a book by its cover. I used to "date" my type, a type I was sexually attracted to, over and over and over again, always easy on the lust, and not so easy on all the rest. Naturally, none of those dates turned into relationships. Once I became aware of this type, not being such a good thing, I notice others, not my type showing some interest, and low and behold, people I would not naturally think were so good looking, as I got to know them better, became much better looking. And then I noticed people who I thought were so good looking, if I didnt hop into bed with them, and got to know them first, because less so good looking. Well, here's a story, about these issues, as well as, worrying about what others think, which in most cultures, sits in the front of everyones mind. I'm glad to say, I've changed quite a bit in these regards, and so has the fellow in this film. Its wonderfully written, directed, acted, and its a joy to watch.

Mostly Pretty Good
This is for the most part an exceptionally nice film. The cast is terrific, the settings feel real, and there is a good range of emotion and humor. The one thing that holds it back for much of the first half or two-thirds is that the male lead is hard to empathize with. Until you have watched it all the way through, he just seems to be a petty, whining loser. I really related to and felt for the female lead, but certainly thought that she deserved better than this guy, and was losing interest in the story because of him. The ultimate emotional climaxe(s) finally build a balanced into the dynamic, though.

This is a really good film
This is a really good film. I think Americans that complain about their quality of life need to watch films like this to see just how good we have it. This film is about two Indians whom enter into an arranged marriage. The film is funny, thought provoking and serious. The does have subtitles, so that will limit the audience that will be interested in seeing it. But its worth seeing. I am not sure its worth buying.

Loved it!
After a long time I watched a movie that remind true to its flavor. The movie is set in small town of India and throughout the movie , they have maintained the innocence and authenticity of a small town. The story is simple and unlike most of the Bollywood movies, they have not added unnecessary melodrama. The Biggest selling point for me was the fact that the heroine of the movie is shown as confident, smart and not shy of expressing herself. Its a sweet and simple love story. I highly recommend.

fun
I really prefer film by India and other countries to USA..sadly my own country has produced men and women who are messed up in the head and this is reflected in our entertainment industry. Thank you India for staying true to love of life, family and friends. I salute India.

this was really a good movie. I loved the fact that this movie ...
this was really a good movie. I loved the fact that this movie the female is so strong. here is an arranged marriag, the guy is a highschool drop out and she is a college graduage who wants to be a teacher. he does not want to marry her b/c she is over weight and kind of plain looking. he is forced into it. she actually likes him but thinks she cant do any better because of how she looks. She does end up being the strong one b/c she decide she is worth something and instead of a bad marrige she would rather persue her teaching goals. She defies society and parents to do what she wants.

Nice story line
I enjoyed the movie but found the English subtitles weren't in sync with the spoken words. It was very distracting to sort out who said what since I only understand English. Otherwise a good movie.

Pednekar is Fantastic, the Rest of the Movie is Not
Prem (Ayushmann Khurrana) is persuaded by his family to marry for financial reasons to an overweight woman he doesn't find attractive. His new wife, Sandhya (Bhumi Pednekar ) is an educated woman who tries to make her marriage work, but Prem has no interest in so doing. They are persuaded to take part in the "Dum Lagao" contest, where the husband carries his wife on his back through an obstacle course, in so doing they reconcile.The premise of this movie is fantastic, but it just doesn't deliver. There is very little character development, less happiness, and an ending that is too sudden and not credible. Khurrana, who is too old for the role, wears a scowl the entire movie and plays his part one-dimensionally. Pednekar, in her first movie, is fantastic, giving depth to Sandhya, portraying believable emotions, and acting nearly flawlessly. Her performance is so good that she nearly saves the movie, but not quite.

I love this film to bits
I love this film to bits. It is honest, has got some great moments and features probably the best ensemble cast in a long, long time. The video and audio quality are top-notch and the bonus disc accompanying the original blu-ray has got some great vignettes about what went behind the making of the film, songs etc.Worth every penny. Ties with DBB as the best Hindi film of the year so far. For me at least.

Good movie, one time watch
Good movie, one time watch! End was a bit dramatic but so are our most of the Hindi movies. Quality of blue disc was good. I got it under lightening deal at a great price so overall satisfied with the purchase.

Nice movie. Yash raj films should invest in good ...
Nice movie. Yash raj films should invest in good stories and less star studded star cast. Gone are the days of shoots in Switzerland and heroines draped in sheffon saris dancing in snows. Make beautiful movies in India. We love our aulture, we love our country.
