Movie Review: Dum Laga Ke Haisha

Love comes in all sizes

You must have heard all is fair in love and war but did you know Love comes in all sizes?

Yes! Love comes in all sizes is an intake on Ayushmann Khurrana’s film Dum Laga Ke Haisha that is releasing today. The lead character Prem (Ayushmann Khurrana) is shown as an average, fit young man who is pressured into marrying a woman who is pretty but double his weight and size, a total opposite of her persona.

The film is definitely a fresh experiment by Yash Raj Films. Set in mid 90’s when making mixed tapes was the trend, when cassettes slowly gave way to CDs and had to connect our VCRs to the TV, open a video tape and blow on the tape to remove any dust. These sort of details are images reflected well in the film.

More interesting to see would be debutant actress Bhumi Pednakar’s leading lady role as an over weight wife which is hardly portrayed in Hindi cinema. It is said that the actress has impressed one and all with her exceptional acting skills.

Music in the film will definitely take you back in 90’s and look out for bhumi’s exceptional dance moves!

The film touches the subjects like education, sex, weight, looks, women making the first move, insecurities between couples.
Overall, Dum Laga Ke Haisha directed by Sharat Katariya will be a feel good film that will make you smile and believe in love.
