The director and producer are refraining from commenting because they do not wish anything more severe to transpire, states the report.Īccording to Times of India, the director and producer have been granted bail and are out now. The first poster of the film shows Rajkummar Rao dressed up as Shiva, which is said to be the cause of the uproar of the religious group. Shruti, on the other hand, looks like she has been picked out of a different universe and stuck in that of the film.Behen Hogi Teri, which stars Shruti Haasan and Rajkummar Rao in leading roles, has landed in legal trouble.Īccording to Indian Express, director of the film Ajay Pannalal and producer Tony D'Souza were arrested for hurting sentiments of certain religious groups. There isn’t another actor who would have fit the role as well. Be it convincing Binni of his love or getting beaten up by his own dad, Rajkummar plays to the tune of the film and never misses a beat. Rajkummar brings out the best of the guy-next-door stock character. Such quirky dialogues also allow Ninad Kamat (Binni’s elder brother) and Darshan Jariwala (Gattu’s dad) to flaunt their skills. “ Ye bhai banane ka kya chakkar hai?” He may be a badly-developed character and a hopelessly passive lover, but Gattu is definitely not the stalker Hindi cinema is used to. “ Koi ladka pyaar karta hai, nahi pasand to mana karo,” he says. Similarly, Gattu shows a flash of bravery toward the end in a rant about “ bhai-behen” culture. They take charge, and the men only try to pacify them.
When Bhura’s uncle (Ranjeet) and his dad (Gulshan Grover), a criminal who has at least a hundred murders to his credit, confront Binni’s family, the women attack the goons with harsh words and slippers. When Gattu’s dad complains about him, he says, “Kaam ka ladka hota to har hafte nayi chappal laa ke deta!”īehen Hogi Teri must also be applauded for avoiding several potentially misogynist moments.
Dear Gattu, they actually fight for the love before they win. This is when Gattu complains about all the Raj and Rahuls who win the girl in Bollywood films. He doesn’t have the courage to talk to Binni’s family about his relationship - he even contributes to the spread of a rumour that Binni and Bhura are having an affair! The sad joke of serving cold drinks at your girlfriend’s marriage is an old one in the northern parts of our country, but Gattu comes across as yet more pitiful when he helps the family find a bride and gets his own friend in a rumoured relationship with her. He fails in this, however, just as much as he does in his USPC entrance. Not being concerned about his career would not be a definitive flaw if Gattu were a more impressive lover. Being neighbours, he gets to carry out some chores at her house and grows close to her family, which treats him as her brother. He is simply, hopelessly in love with Binni.
Gattu is a loser who has not even completed his education. Gattu and Binni are in love but how will they convince their families?īehen Hogi Teri suffers from a poorly conceived plot that fails to offer the fun expected of a story of its kind. Herry Tangri plays Gattu’s friend Bhura, who is unwittingly caught in the chaos. Gattu’s fight (or the lack thereof) is what forms the film’s narrative. The two live in Lucknow, where they are lovers burdened with the long tradition of ‘ mohalle ki ladkiyan behen hoti hain’. The movie tells the story of Gattu (Rajkummar) and his co-star, Shruti Haasan, who plays his neighbour Binni.
