Junglee Pictures has released its second feature in the Badhaai Ho franchise — with the aptly titled, Badhaai Do, and has set a release date.
The makers of the film have brought powerhouse actors Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar together on the big screen for the first time, in what promises the same comical ride of finding humour in unexpected places as Badhaai Ho.
While Badhaai Ho told us what hilarious situations a middle-aged couple’s love could lead to, Badhaai Do addresses another ‘unconventional’ relationship and tells their story through comedy of error situations.
The trailer centres on a marital setting between Rao and Pednekar, only to discover each other’s latent secrets that lie beneath the surface. Entering a marriage of convenience and living as roommates is what underpins the film’s genre in more ways than one.
Adequately rife with comedy and emotions, the family drama deftly deals with a socially-relevant subject as teased briefly by the trailer. While not much has been revealed, the story subtly highlights the concept of ‘lavender marriage’, making it a must-see.

Badhaai Do releases on 11 February in cinemas and is worldwide theatrically distributed by Zee Studios.
