DULHANIYA When Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt come together, THIS HOLI, WITNESS INDIA’S FIRST LOVE you can expect something crazy, naughty and FRANCHISE FILM extremely Bollywood. They are back to floor you with their quirky one liners and sweet romance, flavoured with desi-style wooing. This rip-roaring rom-com comes close on the heels of the runaway 2014 hit “Humpty Sharma ki Dulhania.” Badrinath Bansal (Varun Dhawan) from Jhansi is smitten with Vaidehi Trivedi (Alia Bhatt) from kota. He is a Class 10 pass who does ‘paisa vasooli’ for a living and she is a college student. After much persuasion, he wins her heart, but soon after, there is a twist. Their ideologies clash, and there comes a point when Vaidehi tells Badri, “Pyaar humare liye important hai, lekin usase bhi jyada important hai respect.” PVR MOVIES FIRST PAGE 4 REASONS TO WATCH it is a total Bollywood masala film with colourful songs, action sequences and generous dollops of emotion. The crackling chemistry between Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt has struck gold in all their outings together. The accent and flavour of smallt own characters lends freshness and charm to the film. TRIVIA Varun Dhawan signed the film without even reading the script, because he felt a special connection with its title. The actor reveals that his friends call him ‘Badri’ as an abbreviation of ‘brother.’ They apparently used to tease him, saying that even if he didn’t get a career in Bollywood, he would get roles in Bhojpuri cinema and everyone would call him Badri. When he read the title of “Badrinath ki Dulhania,” he impulsively said an immediate “yes.” The music of the film is a winning blend of fun, foot tapping and melodious soft songs. The album boasts of five tracks by multiple music composers like Amaal Malik, Akhil Sachdeva and Tanishk Bagchi and lyricists Shabbir Ahmed, kumaar, Akhil Sachdeva and Badshah. Get ready for a feeling of magical nostalgia with “Tamma Tamma,” Bappi Lahiri’s iconic song, which has been recreated for this film. adrinath ki DulhaniA iS not A sequel BuT A second installment.
