For past few years YRF has been producing flicks with majorly small towns in the backdrop. No wonder this step is yielding good results and so they don’t mind following this formula. This time they present Dum Laga Ke Haisha, a conventional love story set in Haridwar, which has equal measures of fun, romance and ultimately entertainment.



The story revolves around Sandhya Verma (Bhumi Pednekar), and Prem Prakash Tiwari (Ayushmann Khurrana). Sanhhya is an influential school teacher in Haridwar but is upset with her excessive
weight of 85 kgs. Prem Prakash Tiwari is huge Kumar Sanu fan and runs an audio cassette shop. The one person he is afraid of is his father (Sanjay Mishra) who assumes him as ‘good for nothing’.

Circumstances or rather say a promise that his parents had made to a friend years ago force Prem to get hitched to extra large Sandhya. As expected he is clearly embarrassed of her and with no solution but to continue his marital life, Prem keeps a safe distance from Sandhya.

Stars- Ayushmann Khurrana, Bhumi Pednekar
Director- Sharat Katariya
Music- Anu Malik




The innocent Sandhya however, is trying hard to make her husband happy but Prem is least pleased by all her attempts. The irritation between this unusual pair wasn’t enough that now Prem’s mother asks him to participate in a race competition with his wife. However, he once again surrenders to his family’s adamant wish, but this time he doesn’t disappoint them.

So, will he prove his family what he is capable of? And will Prem and Sandhya find true love together through this competition? Find out all in Dum Laga Ke Haisha.

Sharat Katariya noted for writing Bheja Fry, Hum Tum Shabana, marks an impressive directorial debut with the flick, which is made with heart. He has a good grip on the screenplay while the execution is well graphed.

However, earlier too there have been movies dealing with the unusual pairs and most of them have been truly magnificent with their final outcome. Dum Laga Ke Haisha keeping the premise similar lays a different result. The odd pairing of Sandhya an XL lady and comparatively linear Prem is humorous and emotional as well.

There are usual happenings that are presented on screen. Like in small towns it’s still prevalent that couples are not allowed to utter a word apart from their parents when it’s the matter of their marriage. Prem’s dream of owing a beautiful wife is shattered when his father forces upon him a heavyweight wife. It’s a usual state, which still is common in society and is beautifully presented on screen by the director.
Odd pairing isn’t an issue but it’s the understanding and compatibility, which matters the most in a marital life. Sharat Katariya deals with this simple thought through an extra-ordinary measure in Dum Laga Ke Haisha.
There is more in life beyond facing embarrassment of being a strange couple. It’s love and commitment from your partner that could overcome any deed in real life.

Katariya delivers this message in a light-hearted manner and quirky dialogues.

And Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar make this drama more real. Ayushmann once again gives a brilliant performance. The actor may have been let down by bad script previously but this time he isn’t.

Debutant actress Bhumi is the soul of the flick. You feel pity for her, you laugh on her foolishness while she lures her onscreen husband and ultimately you fall in love with her.

Backbone of the movie is its supporting cast. Sanjay Mishra, Alka Amin, Sheeba Chaddha, Seema Pahwa and Sanjeeva Vatsa make up a great family together and present a great show.

Music by Anu Malik is good. Dard Karara is our pick from the album. Dum Laga Ke Haisha is a good family watch and should slowly gain popularity among the masses.


Dum Laga Ke Haisha will hit the screens on February 27, 2015.
