Synopsis
Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan (2020) is an Indian rom-com you can watch online on iFILM. Karthik and Aman are in love and want a real wedding, in the open, with the whole family there. That family is exactly the problem.
The secret breaks loose on a train ride, in front of everyone, and Aman's relatives go straight to damage control. His father lines up a bride to "fix" him; his mother goes quiet; Karthik simply refuses to walk away. Ayushmann Khurrana and Jitendra Kumar play the couple as two stubborn, funny men who meet pressure with jokes rather than tears. Neena Gupta and Gajraj Rao, as the baffled parents, give the film its real heart.
Directed by Hitesh Kewalya and following his 2017 hit Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, this was one of the first mainstream Bollywood films to put a gay love story front and centre without turning it into a tragedy. It's loud, song-filled, sometimes naive, and unmistakably warm about the right to be yourself in front of the people who raised you. Stream Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan (2020) online on iFILM.
