My take on "Shubh Mangal Savdhaan"

Ayushmaan is fast becoming Junior Aamir Khan for me.. Choosy.. Subtle , Low profile combined with a perfect performance to the finish..right from a sperm donating stud to a young guy struggling with his Erectile dysfunction situation..Khurana does it all bravely , eloquently and with a quite sort of dignity ..in an era when so called being human actors prefer padded undergarments .. and a testosterone dripping image.. Khurana goes for the subdued, sensitive but the gutsy subject in his own dignified way..The strength of SMS (shubh Mangal Savdhan) is the way the taboo subject has been dealt with.. It's very tough to create humour around a taboo subject Ike this one and still manage to steer clear of getting crassy or crude..the movie makes u crack up with its  witty one liners almost every minute ..but still the witty rom com dealing with such a sensitive subject never makes u cringe or makes u go "  eeow that's obscene".. I was pleasantly surprised to see all generations sitting together and having a good laugh together in the theatre  at the witticism in the movie over the literally " under the belt "  topic.. Even more heartening was to see the Conservative Indian male for once  to come out of his closet and laugh his uncalled for worries off over his "sexual performance " along with his better halves and even parents...

When the doc says to a worried Khurana " ur condition is not a disease it's just stress.. Terming it as performance anxiety".. Could sense lot of intently hearing anxious faces among the male audiences in the hall..there was a pin drop subdued sort of silence for few moments at this juncture among the other wise guffawing audience ...

The chemistry between the lead pair which was so tangible even in Dum laga ke haisha".. Is apparently palpable manifolds in SMS  btw the two .. They form such a lovable cute duo which reminds u of the Deepti Naval- Farooque Shaikh pairing.. Making u almost nostalgic for that era..

Overall SMS is a tastefully and thoughtfully done witty rom com on a very sensitive subject without ever crossing the line towards getting preachy or vulgar ...
