The story follows childhood sweethearts Kukoo (Varun Dhawan) and Naina (Kiara Advani), who have moved to Toronto for Naina’s successful corporate career. Five years into their marriage, they face a communication breakdown and mutual resentment, leading them to decide on a divorce. To avoid disrupting Kukoo's sister's upcoming wedding in Patiala, they agree to wait before breaking the news to their family.
Upon returning to India, the narrative shifts when Kukoo discovers his father, Bheem (Anil Kapoor), is also planning to divorce his mother, Geeta (Neetu Kapoor), due to an extramarital affair. This revelation forces both generations to confront their failings:
: Bheem and Geeta represent a 35-year marriage where deep-seated unhappiness has been masked by societal "settlement" and sacrifice. Key Themes and Social Commentary
: One of the most praised aspects of the film is the bond between Geeta and Naina, culminating in a heart-to-heart conversation where they find common ground in their marital struggles. Performance and Production
While some reviewers criticized the film for its loud Punjabi tropes and "script-less" feel in certain segments, others found it to be a "paisa wasool" (worth the money) entertainer that successfully transitions from a comedic first half to a convincing emotional second half.
Critics largely praised the ensemble cast for their performances. Anil Kapoor is noted for his energetic and boisterous portrayal of the patriarch, while Neetu Kapoor received acclaim for her nuanced performance in the second half. The film also features Manish Paul as the comic relief and Prajakta Koli in her feature film debut.
