Ayushman Khurana and Bhumi Pednekar were paired together for the first time in ‘Dam Laga Ke Haisha’ (2014) which I have already discussed on the Blog. Their chemistry clicked from the very first film together which seems to have been liked by the audience as per the box office indicator. ‘Shubh Mangal Saavdhan’ (2017) is their second film together. Other supporting cast included Seema Bhargav, Neeraj Sood, Chittaranjan Tripathy, Brijendra Kala, Supriya Shukla, Sanjay Singh etc.

The film is a remake of Tamil film, ‘Kalyana Samayal Saadham’ (2013). Both Tamil film and its Hindi version are directed by R S Prasanna. The families in Hindi remake of the film are based in around Delhi. Naturally, Hitesh Kewalya, the writer has adapted for the film, the North Indian culture and idioms.

The film is about a man (Ayushman Khurana) who is in love with a girl (Bhumi Pednekar) but he is too shy to tell her about his feeling. The girl on the other hand is influenced by the Bollywood film types of marriage where she can defy the family to marry her choice of man by eloping with him. Finally, the man indirectly gives his hint to the girl through a marriage portal. After the talks between the two families involved through video conferencing, the marriage is finalised, and the engagement takes place. So, it is a love-cum-arrange marriage. Just a few days before the marriage, the man faces a sexual disorder. How both families react to the ‘gents’ problem’ constitute a major part of the comical situations. How the couple overcome the question mark on their marriage is the climax of this ‘romcom’ genre of film.

Generally, the sexual problem which has been termed as ‘gents’ problem’ is not openly discussed in the middle-class family. Keeping that yardstick in mind, the issue has been subtly handled in the film not to sound awkward to the audience. I guess, this may be reason that the film’s ending does not discuss as to how the problem got solved after the marriage has taken place. Instead, it is the narration by Bhumi Pednekar at the end which gives an indirect hint to the audience that all is well in their married life.

This is one of those films where the strong performances by almost all – main as well as supporting actors make the film watchable without taking a break.

The film has four songs, all written and set to music by Tanishk-Vayu (Tanishk Bhagchi and Vaibhav Srivastava). I am presenting the first song, ‘oonchi oonchi doriyon pe baandhun re gagar’ from the film to appear on the Blog. The song is rendered by Shashaa Tirupati, one of the upcoming playback singers. She has won the Screen Award for the best female playback singer for this song.

The song is a montage of the lovely moments of the budding romance between Mudit (Ayushman) and Sugandha (Bhumi), from their ‘nok-jhoks’ (banters) to the first kiss ahead of their engagement. The song has beautifully captured the moments of the couple in love. The song writers have taken the theme of Krishna Leela as metaphors for loving couple’s ‘nok-jhoks’. There are a few English words in the lyrics like ‘trick’, ‘quick, and ‘fit’. The song starts with a pleasant mix of santoor and flute prelude with interludes of violin, sarod and flute. The song also gives a mild flavour of the Carnatic music.

The singer, Shashaa Tirupati is a Canadian playback singer, songwriter, and voice-over artist of Indian origin, hailing from Jammu and Kashmir. She left her medical studies in Canada and shifted to India to become the playback singer sometime in 2010. After singing in a couple of Hindi films and a few regional films, she was noticed by A R Rahman for her performance in Coke Studio Session-3 in 2013. Thereafter, she was mentored by A R Rahman for whom she sang her first song for a Tamil film which won her the National Film Award in 2014 as the best singer. She has sung a good number of songs in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu films for A R Rahman. She has recorded over 200 songs in 12 languages including some private albums.

Normally, I do not include the video clip of the unplugged/reprise version of the song in the presentation of the songs as they are basically the music video based on the original soundtrack of the film. However, for this song, I have included here because the unplugged version has a different antara than the soundtrack song. Probably, it was a part of the originally planned song but might have been excluded later to be used for the promotion of the film. And I like the singing of Ayushman Khurana who has won the Filmfare award for the best male playback singer for ‘Vicky Donor’ (2012).

Lyrics (Based on audio clip of soundtrack version):
———————————————-

oonchi oonchi doriyon pe baandhoon re gagar
par na maane na
kaanha maane na
oonchi oonchi doriyon pe baandhoon re gagar
par na maane na
kaanha maane na
jag jo bichhaaye har jaal kaat le
makkhan churaaye har maal chaant le
murli se kare aisi trick trick trick trick
panghat ki hai badi…
panghat ki hai badi kathin dagar
par na maane na
kaanha maane na

roke mohe…
toke mohe…
kaate re dagar mori Yamuna ke tat ki
laaj naahin
kaaj naahin
maare jo kankariya to phoote mori matki
vaak chatur bharmaaye
prem jaal arjhaaven
jo bhi kare kare sab quick quick quick
kahun mein piya ji thhoda kar lo sabar
par na maane na
kanha maane na
oonchi oonchi doriyon pe baandhoon re gagar
par na maane na
kaanha maane na

oonchi oonchi doriyon pe baandh le gagar
par na maane na
kaanha maane na
oonchi oonchi doriyon pe baandh le gagar
par na maane na
kaanha maane na
jag jo bichaaye har jaal kaat le
makkhan churaaye har maal chaat le
murli se kare aisi trick tick tick tick
panghat ki hai badi…
panghat ki hai badi kathin dagar
par na maane na
kaanha maane na

beech aawe
laaj kaahe
badra bulaawe kaahe dheer dhar sajni
surmayi
rut bhayi
aaja dono Yamuna ke teer chale sangini
mann main bhramar gungunaawe
kaahe sakhi tu ghabraawe
prem tera mera bada fit fit fit fit
aaj tu bahaane chaahe kitne bhi kar
par na maane na
kaanha maane na
jag jo bichhaaye har jaal kaat le
makkhan churaaye har maal chaat le
murli se kare aisi trick tick tick tick
panghat ki hai badi…
panghat ki hai badi kathhin dagar
par na maane na
kaanha maane na
