The Indian middle class runs on stereotypes, like we all have survived weddings where nosy and judgmental aunties chase us, with a question, “You’re next in line, beta?” Or we all know that one impatient younger sibling begging to get married while the elder one keeps dodging rishtas like bullets.
But what if this “elder sibling” is now your own 60+ year old father who is on the marriage market?
A Story We Haven’t Seen Enough
Yes! Durlabh Prasad Ki Dusri Shadi is all set to bring this one-of-a-kind love story to theatres soon. The trailer gives a first look at a widowed father, who is now forced to remarry so that his son can get married. What follows is a rollercoaster of emotions, chaos and laughter – and a promising family entertainer after so long. Set in the backdrop of Banaras, this is yet another film from the leagues of Bariley ki Barfi or Badhaai Ho!. The feel-good film which celebrates the Indian middle-class spirit.
A New Flavour of Bollywood Romance
The film stars Sanjay Mishra and Mahima Chaudhary in the lead roles. Fans are excited to see Mahima back on screen after a long time. And with Sanjay Mishra’s strong track record of meaningful performances, people are looking forward to what he brings this time.
While Bollywood is known for its young love stories, it will be a refreshing change to watch Mahima and Sanjay’s romance on screen. The trailer highlights a charming chemistry between the two, hinting at moments that are both sweet and funny in equal measure.
The movie has a talented supporting cast that has captured the desi family dynamics perfectly. Their relatable quirks, friendly banter and emotional moments make the story feel rooted in everyday Indian households. Together, they add depth and warmth to this charming narrative
The Film Goes Beyond The Surface
Durlabh Prasad Ki Dusri Shadi is a brave attempt by the director to question societal norms of “ideal parenthood.” While the movie is packed with comedy, it still asks a powerful question: is there any right age to find love? And how fair is it to let go of our own wishes just to fit into a society that never misses a chance to judge?
The trailer keeps everything light and fun, while still hinting at these bigger thoughts in the background. It doesn’t try too hard to send a message; it just lets the story speak for itself. And the best part is, this feels like a film you’d watch with your whole family, laugh together, enjoy together, and maybe even talk about a few things on the way back home.
With its refreshing premise, relatable humour and a message that hits home, the film will release this December 19th and is set to be a warm and entertaining watch – reminding us that happiness deserves a second chance.
