Badrinath Ki Dulhania starts as a cute sweet love story in a Jhansi boy and a Kota girl, but the director understands the current tide of films that celebrate powerful, liberated women, so it turns into a progressive story before turning cute-sweet again.
Badrinath Bansal( Varun Dhawan) is your gym-type boy-next-door. Slightly outspoken but mostly lovable He may remind you of Govinda of the early’90s: Scheming, harmless, quick-witted and conventional. He is a family that suffocates under his dominating father Amarnath Bansal’s( Rituraj Singh) thumb. Badrinath’s main duty is to collect his wealthy, patronizing father.
His heart skips a beat in a chance encounter with Vaidehi( Alia Bhatt) at a wedding. She is an ambitious, career-oriented woman. Once bitten, twice shy, she is not looking for a healing touch, especially from another suitor.
