Dum Laga Ke Haisha (2015)

This movie involves the story between Ayushmann Khuranna and Bhumi Padnekar, and both of their families. Ayushmann plays the role of Prem, who owns a cassette shop in a local market and his father is urgently wanting his son to get married as soon as possible. Then he takes Prem and the rest of his family to a local temple to meet this girl, Sandhya, played by Bhumi  who has a B.ed. and is looking for an available teaching position. Unfortunately the most visible think about her is her weight not her looks like Prem wanted. Prem wanted a girl with 'Juhi Chawla type looks or any beautiful actress' but he had no choice but to marry her. Later on, as they days go by Prem ignores his wife but Sandhya tries to spice up and add love to their loveless marriage. In their community, a race is organized where the husband has to carry his wife and by the pressure of his family he participates in this race with his wife, Sandhya. In the middle of this loveless marriage, Sandhya decides that maybe she needs to put an end to this marriage and spare him of this forced marriage. One thing to question here is- Will Prem ever notice anything more than Sandhya's weight or just never overlook that part of her? Can this competition, which is titled 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha' once and for all bring them closer?


In my opinion, this movie made me laugh many times and question a few things too in the movie. But mainly it makes you realize that we cannot focus on one aspect of our life partner, gf/bf but we should already know this and a movie shouldn't have to teach us these things. This movie had a few genres such as; comedy, drama and it was a family type movie for all to watch. I loved Bhumi's acting in this film, since she played her role of his role of Prem's overweight wife very well and it suited her. The songs were very nicely sung in this film, one of my favourite songs has to be 'Dard Karaara' and the video of that song is posted above. I would give this movie a rating of 9/10, for me it hit all the spots from beginning to end maybe one or two things could be changed but otherwise it was amazing and always makes me laugh. I also loved Ayushmann's acting as well, he knows how to play all his roles and does an amazing job every time. The songs in the beginning of the film by Kumar Sanu were the best since he has such an amazing voice better than other singers. It may seem like a different type of film because of the story involved in it but give it a shot and you might just love it like I did.
