Badhaai Ho: Neena Gupta, Gajraj Rao and Surekha Sikri weave the magic of cinema

Neena Gupta and Gajraj Rao in a still of Badhaai Ho. “/> 19659005] Badhaai Ho may well be played by Ayushmann Khurrana, but the main actors of the film are mainly made by three actors: Neena Gupta, Gajraj Rao and Surekha Sikri. The film is a dramatic comedy to which you connect with emotion, thanks to the credible representations of characters by the cast. While Ayushmann agrees to the bill of Nakul Kaushik, the kind of Delhi who can be calm and calm, Sanya Malhotra as an educated and composed woman with a good head on his shoulders becomes part of the narrative in the way the more organic.

three people stole the thunder: Gajraj Rao, Neena Gupta and Surekha Sikri. Gajraj as Jeetender Kaushik delivers a performance that is both endearing and "real". There is a sequence in which he meets Sanya's character Renee for the first time and immediately begins to converse with her in broken English. As soon as he started talking, I was reminded of uncles who, I knew, had done the same thing; an attempt to speak the language of the guest to put it at ease, but also to let the other party know that you are a mundane man capable of interacting with people, regardless of their social origin.

Then there is the relationship that the characters of Neena and Gajraj share, the kind that only those who have seen themselves grow up possess . Thus, when Neena's Priyamvada becomes pregnant, Gajraj's fearful but encouraging character supports her. They receive together the messages of mockery, brick and congratulations with grace and strength. Neena, as a woman who keeps the home and family together, is discreet but effective.

A word for Surekha Sikri also because it is hard to imagine that anyone else plays the role of the strict grandmother ways that is also capable of empathy in the moments when it is absolutely necessary. The scene where she represents her stepdaughter in front of the family and expresses her love and confidence in her is touching. Of course, these things would have been hard to achieve if director Amit Ravindernath Sharma and writers Shantanu Srivastava, Akshat Ghildial, Jyoti Kapoor and Akshat Ghildial had not written such a hilarious and adorable scenario.
