Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar in a still from ‘Shubh Mangal Saavdhan’. Two years later, the actors from that film, Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar, find themselves in a similar situation in RS Prasanna’s Shubh Mangal Saavdhan. Shubh Mangal Saavdhan might not be hailed as boundary-pushing cinema—and yet, in its own unassuming way, it is. Shubh Mangal Saavdhan fits snugly into this very Indian subgenre: its comedy is rooted in the everyday, its conflicts life-size. With so much going for it, it’s disappointing when Shubh Mangal Saavdhan doesn’t come close to sticking the landing.
