Dum Laga Ke Haisha

Just saw this yesterday. I loved the film. Ayushyman was fantastic. He's a very good actor. The film take us into 90 's. Because of Kumar Shanu's songs. And Anu Malik music is quit good. Story is not that good but all over acting is good. You should watch it once. It drives you in 90's. Ayushman you have proved it again. You can enjoy it though. One time watch. I don't think its a bad movie but its an ordinary movie. It doesn't suck. Enjoy it. Its a fresh story. Not a copycat. That is the main point of this movie. Its an original Bollywood tale.I hope you make sequel to this as producer, keeping Zoya on director's seat again, as I think, she was brilliant as director. She might have lived her life with lots of male friends as it not for a single moment seems like a film directed by lady director (which was the only minus point of LBC from my point of view). Hoping to see more from her.

A beautiful movie which will take you back in the lovely 90s. If you are a person whose childhood days were spent in a middle class family, residing in a typical U.P. mohalla, then you might find many things that will be a reflection of your childhood. Though a few scenes in the movie are overdone and overemphasized, but still a lot can be enjoyed. Kumar Sanu's songs are as melodious as ever, with Sadhna Sargam and Anu Malik adding more sweetness to it. The songs are really catchy and I can assure you that they'll be looped many times in your ipods/music devices. The movie is worth watching with your family in a theater, so my advice to you is not to ruin the feel by watching it on a crappy pirated DVD or online. Cheers, :)

My Rating : 7/10 A complete family entertainer with a love story at it's heart. 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha' won the 2015 National Film Award for Best Feature Film (Hindi) and it truly deserves it. The script of 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha' was written in 2007, almost seven years before the release! Superb, authentic performances from the whole cast, special mention goes to Bhumi Pednekar for going the extra mile (who gained 30 kgs to land the role) and transforming herself. Beautiful movie and 'Moh Moh Ke Dhaage' is such a romantic track of recent years. Go watch it guys!

A journey to 90's with a special middle class touch . Moreover the subject of arranged marriage is simply hilarious . Plain message is there is more to marriage - then just looks and degrees- that's understanding and true love ! A dose of refreshment, just Simple precise movie which will make your evening wonderful. Also you can't stop laughing by the quirky funny one liners through out the movie. Ayushmann as always is brilliant and the XL heroine is best discovery so far for Yashraj productions. A must watch for the grown ups of 90's ! You will get to see- Bajaj scooters, the old Metador van , the old cassettes touch , Kumar Sanuu's songs - which gives this movie a simple and unusual touch. And the song Dard Karara.. will make your day and you can't stop laughing your guts out.

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.

'Dum Laga ke Haisha' is a finely made film with a charming script and solid acting. While the story may be plain simple and honestly predictable still it doesn't fail to hold your attention for 2 hours. The story is set in 1995, Prem(Ayushmann Khurrana) is a class 10 failure runs his father's (Sanjay Mishra) cassette store in Haridwar. He is forced into marriage with a overweight girl Sandhya (debutante Bhumi Pednekar) by his family. Sandhya is a graduate and Prem's family believes arrival of an educated girl in the family will bring prosperity. Prem is finding very difficult to happiness with his forced marriage and what follows is nothing surprising. Despite the predictable simple story, 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha' has the strong point of subtle production design and great cinematography capturing the 90s era beautifully. The songs of Kumar Sanu played on cassette players certainly pushes up the nostalgia. There is also quite a bit of quirky humor and typical Indian family drama to spice up the things. But I did feel the some work could have been done in editing department as the story drags on for 2 hours. Ayushmann redeems himself after the disastrous 'Hawaizaada', Sanjay Mishra is entertaining as always and Bhumi Pednekar shows her talent with solid debut. The songs are quite melodious, I especially loved 'Moh Moh ke Dhaage'. With some negatives but more positives 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha' is not the best year for me(it's still Badlapur) yet its worth a shot! RATING: [3/5]

It is never easy to make a movie about a topic like this. Past attempts have mutilated this kind of story so I was skeptical.One is happy to see that the characters (especially the leads) don't take unhealthy and impractical steps. Also there was no (unnecessary) villain waiting to take advantage of either of them. Bhumi acted so believably and Ayushmann complemented her acting. These kind of movies hopefully should be eye openers to ignorant parent in Tier-2/Tier-3 cities and towns and not force their children into arranged marriages. It was just a luck break that the contest (in the end) resolved the marital issues; everybody does not get the same opportunities. Hats off to the cast and Director for pulling off a superb movie.

I was watching this movie just for the sake of entertainment. But i got propelled to log-in on IMDb and write review. What a real daily life scenes and imagery. Just felt Awesome. Acting Was superb. The Story was just original. cinematography Excellent. The places they have chosen , Everything just makes it so real. I will say Every Indian must watch this movie, he will feel inspired. I think Indian cinema is becoming more mature day by day. The Indian Director and Producer have started thinking the real storyline of Hit Movie. Only Money Making is not just required for a cinema. I think cinema is known for the number of hearts it's touches, Number of people it inspires and originality it shows. People always live in reality but they never observe it. But when same thing is shown by some movie, it just becomes so obvious. People pay attention to it. Just Hats off Guys for the work you did. Thank You.
