Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! Fun on the Run

The core problem is that this feels less like a film and more like an extended ‘maha episode’ of a daily soap.

What Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! Fun on the Run does right is keep things simple. Expanding a sitcom into a feature film is tricky, but the makers manage to preserve the essence without overstretching the premise. That said, this is not a film that necessarily demands a big-screen experience. There is nothing particularly cinematic about it, and it would work just as comfortably on television. Still, as a breezy, no-pressure comedy meant purely for laughs, it does its job. If you are in the mood to switch off, recognise familiar faces and chuckle at familiar jokes, this film delivers exactly that — nothing more, nothing less.
