Himanshu Sharma & Kanika Dhillon's regressive approach to the story isn't the only issue with the film, it's also the extremely over-the-top treatment given to its narrative. It feels like an old soul trapped in a young body at places. Though I'm not at all discounting the fact that it would surely connect with its target group but that hampers its universal connect.
Humour rarely worked for me, though there are some good dramatic portions, especially in the second half. I totally get the point of how the film is only about getting the sisters married somehow, that's why their backdrop isn't included & I'm okay with that as some reviews are criticising of why it's 'only about the wedding' for the sisters because that's the whole film.
The movie direction is very stupid and done illogically. The movie has such a serious story but then the director managed to spoil it by putting cringy comedy. There are times when it feels that, in the name of creating an atmosphere of everyday toxic patriarchy, the writers begin to enjoy fat-shaming and colour-shaming the sisters. The script throws out a line or two in their defence: in one scene Durga refuses to be bodyshamed. But mostly, it feels like the audience is being invited to laugh along at their expense. The film's message about women being in control of their own destiny comes too late to rescue these four; they are more a collection of stereotypes than actual characters.
