== Plot ==
== Plot ==
Badrinath "Badri" Bansal is the younger son of a wealthy family in Jhansi. In a flashback, it is shown that Badri's elder brother, Aloknath "Alok" Bansal was in love with a girl and was going to leave the family for her because their father disapproved, but decided against it after their father Ambarnath "Ambar" Bansal's first heart attack. Now Alok is married to Urmila Shukla through an arranged marriage and she is not allowed to work despite being very intelligent and better professionally trained than Alok himself. Alok is also depressed at having to leave his love and be forced into a marriage, so he spends a lot of his time drinking. Badri fears the same fate for himself and so when he sees the beautiful and educated Vaidehi Trivedi at a wedding supposedly being looked after by her father Mayank, he falls for her immense beauty and charm. He eventually becomes obsessed with her and makes it his mission to marry her with Ambar's approval.
Badrinath "Badri" Bansal is the youngest son in a wealthy family from Jhansi, where his father, Ambar, exerts strict control over the lives of his children. Badri's elder brother, Alok, once in love with another woman, was forced to abandon his dreams and enter into an arranged marriage with Urmila after their father's heart attack. This marriage has left Alok deeply unhappy, as Urmila, despite being intelligent and well-qualified, is not allowed to work, and Alok spends much of his time drinking to cope with his dissatisfaction. Badri, observing his brother's plight, fears the same fate for himself and becomes desperate to avoid it.


Vaidehi is an intelligent young woman, much more educated than Badri. She has completed her graduation and is secretly training to become a flight attendant while Badri has only passed the tenth grade. She's initially uninterested in getting married and is offended by his marriage proposal  because once , her father arranges her marriage with a boy named Sagar , which Vaidehi also falls for him later , but he fooled her family and run away with all her Money badri learns about this  and tells vaidehi why always she runs from marriage proposals.
At a wedding, Badri meets Vaidehi Trivedi, a beautiful and well-educated woman who has her own career aspirations. Despite his limited education, Badri becomes infatuated with Vaidehi and decides that he must marry her, seeking his father's approval for the union. However, Vaidehi is uninterested in marriage, especially after a previous relationship ended in betrayal, where her ex-boyfriend Sagar tricked her family and ran off with their money. Although Badri helps Vaidehi's sister with her marriage, winning some favor with Vaidehi, she ultimately runs away on their wedding day, choosing to pursue her dream of becoming a flight attendant in Singapore instead.


Badri helps Vaidehi's elder sister, Kritika find a husband in local singer Bhushan Mishra and even resolves a dowry crisis with Bhushan's father Jitendra Mishra, Vaidehi agrees to marry him. On their wedding day, however, Vaidehi does not show up is revealed to have run away to Mumbai. Furious, Ambar commands a heartbroken Badri to find Vaidehi and bring her back so they can punish her. Despite being afraid of Ambar's words, Badri goes to [[Mumbai]] to find Vaidehi, where he discovers that she's already moved to [[Singapore]] for a flight attendant training program.
Heartbroken and under pressure from his father, Badri follows Vaidehi to Singapore, where he confronts her in an intense and emotional encounter. Though initially furious, Badri gradually begins to understand and respect Vaidehi's independence and ambitions. As they spend more time together, Badri realizes that if they are to be together, he must support her career and convince his father to accept their relationship on more equal terms. Vaidehi agrees to consider marriage only if Badri can secure her right to work and live freely, a significant challenge given his father's traditional views.


Badri shows up on Vaidehi's doorstep in Singapore, and kidnaps her, pulling her into his car. On the way, he pulls over and lets her out of the car trunk and they have an emotional yet heated argument. Badri is furious at her for leaving him at the altar and she apologizes, trying to assure him that the reason she left was not because of him. Badri grabs her by the throat while venting out all his frustration and anger on her, when a police car pulls up and is about to arrest Badri for violently approaching Vaidehi, and while she defends him, they both are doubted and Badri is taken to the police station anyway and Vaidehi comes along for testifying. At the police station, Vaidehi covers up for Badri. Over the next few days, Badri follows Vaidehi. Alok calls and tells him that Ambar has started looking for other brides. This terrifies Badri and he attempts entry into Vaidehi's workplace. She stops him and tells him she'll marry him only if he can convince Ambar to let her work and live in Singapore. Badri gets drunk that night and causes a scene outside Vaidehi's residential building and he is arrested by the police again, where this time Vaidehi has to pay $1500 to bail him out.
Returning to Jhansi, Badri finally stands up to his father, Ambar, defending Vaidehi's right to work and asserting their decision to marry on their own terms. Vaidehi arrives in Jhansi, and together they confront Ambar, insisting that their marriage will proceed regardless of his approval. The story concludes with Vaidehi finishing her training and returning to India, where she and Badri maintain a long-distance relationship before reuniting. They vow to raise their future children in a more progressive environment, rejecting traditional practices like dowry and ensuring that gender equality is upheld within their family. Their journey marks a significant shift in the family's dynamics, challenging and changing the deeply entrenched patriarchal values.
 
Badri moves into Vaidehi's apartment where she cares for him by cooking for him before leaving for work every day, which humbles him. They spend time together with friends and tour Singapore together. Over time, Badri begins to respect Vaidehi's independence and is impressed by her job and intelligence. He also remembers Urmila and feels sorry that she doesn't get to work, telling Vaidehi that she would be proud of her. Badri and Vaidehi begin to spend more time together which causes them to grow closer. When Ambar calls, Badri lies and tells him that he hasn't found Vaidehi yet, and so Ambar tells Badri to return home. When Badri receives his passport back, Vaidehi invites him to party with her and his newly made friends. Later that night, Badri confides to Vaidehi that he feels she would be a lucky charm of a wife for her future husband. The next day Badri leaves for Jhansi and Vaidehi starts to miss him, depressed by his absence.
 
Back in [[Jhansi]], Urmila is pregnant and Ambar holds a mega-pooja to ensure that a boy is born. Badri feels sorry for her and misses Vaidehi at the same time, finally understanding why she ran away. Before the pooja, he gets heavily drunk and berates Ambar for being disrespectful towards women. He blames Ambar for being the reason that he can't have Vaidehi when suddenly he sees Vaidehi from the corner of his eye. She tells him that she loves him and wants to marry him. Together they stand up to Ambar and tell him that they will get married and Vaidehi will work as she pleases regardless of whether he agrees or not.
 
In the epilogue, it is shown that Badri and Vaidehi maintain a long-distance relationship while she finishes her training program in Singapore before moving back to India and starting her own flight attendant training center. Urmila gives birth to twins, one boy and girl, and it is shown that so far Ambar has been treating both of them equally. She also starts working in the family's car showroom with Alok and even gets her own cabin. Badri and Vaidehi promise not to collect any dowry for any of their children. The film ends with Badri and Vaidehi driving off on his motorbike, happily reunited.

Plot[edit | edit source]

Badrinath "Badri" Bansal is the youngest son in a wealthy family from Jhansi, where his father, Ambar, exerts strict control over the lives of his children. Badri's elder brother, Alok, once in love with another woman, was forced to abandon his dreams and enter into an arranged marriage with Urmila after their father's heart attack. This marriage has left Alok deeply unhappy, as Urmila, despite being intelligent and well-qualified, is not allowed to work, and Alok spends much of his time drinking to cope with his dissatisfaction. Badri, observing his brother's plight, fears the same fate for himself and becomes desperate to avoid it.

At a wedding, Badri meets Vaidehi Trivedi, a beautiful and well-educated woman who has her own career aspirations. Despite his limited education, Badri becomes infatuated with Vaidehi and decides that he must marry her, seeking his father's approval for the union. However, Vaidehi is uninterested in marriage, especially after a previous relationship ended in betrayal, where her ex-boyfriend Sagar tricked her family and ran off with their money. Although Badri helps Vaidehi's sister with her marriage, winning some favor with Vaidehi, she ultimately runs away on their wedding day, choosing to pursue her dream of becoming a flight attendant in Singapore instead.

Heartbroken and under pressure from his father, Badri follows Vaidehi to Singapore, where he confronts her in an intense and emotional encounter. Though initially furious, Badri gradually begins to understand and respect Vaidehi's independence and ambitions. As they spend more time together, Badri realizes that if they are to be together, he must support her career and convince his father to accept their relationship on more equal terms. Vaidehi agrees to consider marriage only if Badri can secure her right to work and live freely, a significant challenge given his father's traditional views.

Returning to Jhansi, Badri finally stands up to his father, Ambar, defending Vaidehi's right to work and asserting their decision to marry on their own terms. Vaidehi arrives in Jhansi, and together they confront Ambar, insisting that their marriage will proceed regardless of his approval. The story concludes with Vaidehi finishing her training and returning to India, where she and Badri maintain a long-distance relationship before reuniting. They vow to raise their future children in a more progressive environment, rejecting traditional practices like dowry and ensuring that gender equality is upheld within their family. Their journey marks a significant shift in the family's dynamics, challenging and changing the deeply entrenched patriarchal values.

Production[edit | edit source]

Badrinath Ki Dulhania marks the second installment of a franchise that began with the romantic comedy Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014), which was also directed by Shashank Khaitan, produced by Karan Johar for Dharma Productions and starred Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt. The film was first announced on 3 May 2016 with the release of an online motion poster featuring Dhawan and Bhatt at a local village fair.[8][9] Principal photography also began on the same day. Some of the scenes were also shot at the Ghatotkach Circle, Kishore Sagar Lake and Seven Wonders Park in Kota, Rajasthan.[10]

The music for the film has been composed by Amaal Mallik, Tanishk Bagchi and Akhil Sachdeva while the lyrics have been written by Kumaar, Shabbir Ahmed, Akhil Sachdeva, Badshah and Indeevar.[11] The soundtrack was released on 21 February 2017 by T-Series.[12]

The song "Humsafar" was originally composed by Akhil Sachdeva.[13] "Tamma Tamma Again" is a recreation of the song "Tamma Tamma" produced by Bappi Lahiri for the 1990 film Thanedaar. In turn, "Tamma Tamma" itself was based on two songs from Mory Kanté's 1987 album Akwaba Beach: "Tama" and "Yé ké yé ké".[14][15]

The title track "Badri Ki Dulhania" appears to be inspired by the song "Chalat Musafir" from the film Teesri Kasam (1966), which in turn was inspired by a Bihari folk song.[16] Arijit Singh won the Best Playback Singer (Male) in the Filmfare Awards 2018 for his rendition of the song "Roke Na Ruke Naina".[17]

Critical reception[edit | edit source]

The film received generally positive reviews, with the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes giving a rating of 80%, based on ten reviews.[18]

Nihit Bhave from Times of India rated the film 3.5/5 and stated "Badrinath Ki Dulhania is a rucksack full of radioactive social issues handled cautiously". He also praised Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhat's chemistry saying, "Together, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt are the best thing that could have happened to our screens".[19] Rohit Vats from Hindustan Times gave film 2.5/5 and noted that Varun Dhawan by portraying a Jhansi boy, reminds of Govinda.[20] Shubhra Gupta from The Indian Express gave film 3/5 saying, "Alia Bhatt is pitch-perfect as dulhania with a mind of her own. Varun Dhawan impresses as a boy-struggling-to-be-a-man. Together, they offer us a flavourful romance which takes down patriarchy."[21] Tushar Joshi from DNA India described the film as light, entertaining and likeable. He writes, "Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt prove that on screen chemistry can be enough sometimes to keep you engaged in an average plot with a predictable narrative".[22] Anupama Chopra of Film Companion gave the film 3 out of 5 stars and said, "Think of Badrinath ki Dulhania as a dose of feminism-lite. I was smiling through the film. ...Varun excels as Badri. He has an earnestness that connects instantly. He captures each nuance of Badri – his longing for Vaidehi, his confusion and hurt and the eventual transformation of his rage into understanding and respect."[23] Raja Sen of Rediff gave the film 3 out of 5 stars and said, "What makes Badrinath Ki Dulhania work, really, is the intent and the two principal actors."[24] Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN gave 2.5 stars out of 5, commenting "Writer-director Shashank Khaitan evidently bites off more than he can chew. Badrinath Ki Dulhania isn’t merely interested in being a breezy rom-com. Admirably, it’s also a critique on the dowry system, and makes a strong case for a woman’s right to choose career over marriage. Unfortunately some of this is communicated in a tone that’s too heavy-handed, and as a result you’re easily bored."[25]

Box office[edit | edit source]

Badrinath Ki Dulhania netted ₹12.25 crore in India on its opening day. On the second and third day, it earned ₹14.75 crore and ₹16.05 crore nett, taking total opening weekend domestic nett collection to ₹43.05 crore. The film grossed ₹73.66 crore nett domestically in its opening week. It netted ₹27.08 crore in its second week, in which it had entered the 100 Crore Club, taking two weeks total nett collection at ₹100.74 crore. The film's lifetime gross collection domestically was ₹162 crore (including a nett total of ₹117.83 crore) and lifetime gross collection in overseas markets was ₹44.85 crore,[26] thus making a worldwide total collection of ₹206 crore.[27]
