Aniket(Subodh Bhave) is in love with Rucha(Shruti Marathe), but he is against the concept of marriage. With a hope of changing his stand, Rucha tricks him into attending her cousin’s wedding.
Shubh Lagna Savadhan shares quite a few similarities with Hum Aapke Hai Koun, especially when it comes to the family drama in the film. However, the storyline is more relatable to the present day scenario.
Had the director focussed on the characters and their sweet yet complex relationships, the film could’ve been a better watch.
Some scenes have been stretched unnecessarily and the similarities this film draws from the HAHK makes it predictable.
As for the performances, Subodh and Shruti have a great chemistry and the high points of the film are in scenes featuring the duo.
To make an entertainer involving an Indian wedding is a tricky task. Too much drama can make you bored and too less of it will do the same. It is important to establish a balance and Shubh Lagna Savadhan struggles with that.
Having said that, this film is a fairly alright watch for those who like family dramas. Others could think about giving it a miss.
