Badhaai Do Review: समलैंगिकों के इंद्रधनुषी ब्याह की सतरंगी कहानी, आयुष्मान के फॉर्मूले में राजकुमार की नई रवानी

आमतौर पर कहा यही जाता है कि हिंदी सिनेमा में कहानियों की कमी है। टाइम्स समूह की फिल्म प्रोडक्शन कंपनी जंगली पिक्चर्स ने इस मामले में उदाहरण पेश करने की समय समय पर तारीफ लायक कोशिशें की हैं कि इसके प्रबंधन ने लीक से इतर फिल्मों को न सिर्फ सहारा दिया बल्कि एए फिल्म्स व जी स्टूडियोज जैसे दिग्गज वितरकों के जरिये इन्हें हिंदी सिनेमा के दर्शकों तक पहुंचाने की पूरी कोशिश भी की। लेकिन, 2022 में सिनेमा बदल रहा है। हिंदी सिनेमा को भी इस ट्रेन में बैठना ही होगा। नहीं तो ये पीछे छूट जाएगा। फिल्म ‘बधाई दो’ इसी फ्रेंचाइजी की पिछली फिल्म ‘बधाई हो’ की ही तरह सामाजिक और पारिवारिक ताने बाने में वर्जित विषय पर बनी फिल्म है। देखा जाए तो ये फॉर्मूला आयुष्मान खुराना का है कि एक वर्जित विषय को किसी पारिवारिक पृष्ठभूमि में डालकर एक कहानी रच दी जाए। दिक्कत इस फॉर्मूले में अब ये आ रही है कि इसमें वर्जित विषय तो फिल्म दर फिल्म बदल जा रहे हैं लेकिन इनकी पारिवारिक पृष्ठभूमि तकरीबन एक जैसी हो चली है। आयुष्मान की पिछली फिल्म ‘चंडीगढ़ करे आशिकी’ इसी के चलते फ्लॉप हुई और अब ‘बधाई दो’ के सामने भी बॉक्स ऑफिस की तगड़ी चुनौती है।

फिल्म ‘बधाई दो’ दो ऐसे लोगों की कहानी है जिनके जीवन इंद्रधनुषी है, एलजीबीटीक्यू (लेस्बियन, गे, बाइसेक्सुअल, ट्रांसजेंडर और क्वीर) समुदाय की कहानियां सिनेमा में लाने के लिए खूब पैसा आ रहा है, कहां से आ रहा है, ये शोध का विषय है। ओटीटी वाले ऐसी फिल्मों के लिए इतना पैसा एक मुश्त दे रहे हैं कि फिल्म का बॉक्स ऑफिस पर चलना न चलना अब खास मायने भी नहीं रखता, बशर्ते फिल्म के नायक नायिका जाने पहचाने हों। ओनीर की सेना के एक समलैंगिक अफसर पर प्रस्तावित फिल्म को भारतीय सेना ने भले इजाजत न दी हो, लेकिन देश के अलग अलग राज्यों की पुलिस ने अभी ऐसा कोई फरमान जारी नहीं किया। सोचिए अगर पुलिस ठान ले कि उसको भ्रष्टाचार में लिप्त होने वाली फिल्में रिलीज नहीं होने दी जाएंगी और पुलिस किरदारों पर बनने वाली फिल्मों की स्क्रिप्ट भी पहले मंजूर करानी होगी, तो क्या होगा? तब फिल्म ‘बधाई दो’ शायद ही बन पाती और कहीं शिक्षक संघों ने भी ऐसा ही कुछ ठान लिया तो पता नहीं क्या होगा।

Badhaai Do review: Rajkummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar film hides its core under layers of humour

Badhaai do movie review: we love rainbows. if only it didn’t get mainstream bollywood so long to come to the point, and stick with it..

Just what makes two people decide to tie the knot? There are marriages of all kinds. Love. Arranged. And Arranged-cum-Love, which happens only in India. ‘Shaadi toh compromise hai (marriage is a compromise)’, says Shardul Thakur in ‘Badhaai Do’: by then, his family knows exactly what ‘compromise’ he is talking about, leading to consternation all round. Shardul ( Rajkummar Rao ) and Sumi Singh ( Bhumi Pednekar ) have got together in holy matrimony for good reasons of their own. The small town they live in has very little understanding of same-sex love or ‘samlaingikta’. For both Shardul, the cop who loves to build his body, ingesting indigestible protein shakes on the way; and Sumi the no-nonsense physical instructor who teaches in a school as she navigates her way through a dating app, the marriage is a perfect cover. They can keep their ‘jaldi-shaadi-karo’ families at bay, and they can continue to be true to their sexual orientation: ‘zamana kya kahega, mummy-papa mar jayenge agar sacchai saamne aa gayi toh (What will society say, and mummy-papa will die if the truth comes out)’.

For a mainstream Hindi film to focus on a ‘lavender marriage’ in a small-town setting takes some doing. And ‘Badhaai Do’ does feel a tad radical in some of the things it manages to do, given the constraints of wanting to inhabit the family entertainment space. The instant recognition of a person on the same side of the spectrum, the sexual charge in an exchange of glances between two young women, and the overpowering desire to be together physically, is done with a welcome degree of frankness.

But then ‘Badhaai Do’ falls into the same trap films with ‘brave subjects’ gravitate towards. Once it is put out there, it starts developing cold feet, and wraps up its crucial core under layers of heavy-handed humour, and the tiresome boister of a joint family we’ve seen over and over.

The film goes on, coralling in other subjects. Amongst them is the deep desire to have children, the difficulties of adoption amongst people who are gay or lesbian: that these words are spoken out loud, by the leads, in a defiant act of ownership, is a good thing. But it takes almost the whole of 2.5 hours to do so, while sending Shardul and Sumi spinning off in other directions. So many diversions, while trying to keep on track, becomes tiring, and the novelty factor, which includes the presence of the spirited Chenaki (Chum Darang) wears off. It is 2022, and we have to be happy about a North-Eastern actor in a main role.

Rao and Pednekar do full justice to their roles. Sheeba Chaddha makes the most of her flaky-but-compassionate mother. It’s really good to see Nitesh Pandey being given something substantial. There’s a female cop in the ‘mahila thana’ that Shardul is so reluctantly employed at, who catches the eye. And Gulshan Devaiah, in his tiny part, steals every scene he is featured in.

Yes, there are different strokes for different folks. And yes, we love rainbows. If only it didn’t get mainstream Bollywood so long to come to the point, and stick with it.

Badhaai Do movie cast: Rajkummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar, Chum Darang, Sheeba Chadhha, Seema Pahwa, Loveleen Mishra, Nitesh Pandey, Gulshan Devaiah Badhaai Do movie director: Harshvardhan Kulkarni Badhaai Do movie rating: 2.5 stars
