Synopsis

Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari

Suraj Singh Dhillon (Diljit Dosanjh) is a rich young lad who is quite desperate to get married. He looks after his father Gurnam's dairy, but due to his raw mannerisms, he is unable to impress any girl proposed to his family for an arranged marriage. His friend Sukhi, a filmy buff, suggests that he should create a bad boy image to woe girls as shown in the latest flicks. Both go on a bad boy drive, breaking many rules and giving rise to varying comical instances. Unknown to them, this is all recorded by a private detective Madhu Mangal Rane (Manoj Bajpayee), who is known to perform background checks on prospective grooms. When Suraj and his family meet the next prospective bride, her family shows them the photographs of his bad-boy drive and rejects his proposal. Gurnam (Manoj Pahwa) feels disgraced and leaves the house. Suraj then catches hold of Pandit Dubey (Neeraj Sood), who had earlier proposed this relation, and learns of Mangal's involvement. He decides to avenge the humiliation of his family and goes after Mangal. Mangal belongs to a middle-class family and lives with his younger sister Tulshi (Fatima Sana Shaikh) and his mother Rekha (Supriya Pilgaonkar) in a chawl. Tulshi is considered the epitome of traditional girls with good moral values as per contemporary standards by one and all. Suraj and Sukhi first do a recce of Mangal's office in disguise, and then, late in the night, raid his office.

Bollywood Hungama

SURAJ PE MANGAL BHARI starts off on a fine note. The entry of Mangal is hilarious and it neatly explains the dedication towards his work. The film drops a bit when Suraj turns into a ‘bad boy’ and when he gets into detective mode. But it picks up once Suraj starts wooing Tulshi. The twist in Tulshi’s tale is unexpected and gives a nice touch. Post-interval, the patch-up between Suraj and Tulshi happens rather quickly. But the fun continues as Mangal uses a new trick to get back at Suraj. More twists take place in the narrative as new characters get introduced. The finale is predictable but hilarious.

★★★★★ ★★★★★ 3.0

Abhishek Sharma's Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari is the perfect family entertainer for the season. Actually, it could have been. If not let down by certain actors. In a film that boasts of a stellar ensemble cast - as well as lead cast - that's just mangal ki dasha. No, the film doesn't disappoint. Just makes you go tch every now and then.

Perhaps, it is time that film industries in India woke up to the fact that COVID-19 has brought in the acceptance among audiences on the type of films that deserves to be watched on the big screen. The ones that bet on witty dialogues and entertainingly sketched scenes for success can very well stand the test of time even if they are viewed on a mobile screen.
