what’s hot

Raksha Bandhan emphasizes how the evil of the dowry system is still ubiquitous in India even in metros like Delhi and how even the good people Lala Kedarnath can’t help it but be part of it, thinking it’s the only way to get the to marry daughters of your house. The shock he gets to make him realize how wrong it is is predictable but effective and the beauty is that the heavy drama is offset by abundant humor. After a long time, three songs work in a movie, but not so surprising when Himesh Reshammiya is the man behind all the tunes. Akshay Kumar, Bhumi Pednekar, Neeraj Sood and everyone else playing Akshay Kumar’s siblings are in great shape, as is the lead role itself. The directing and writing work, too, for the most part.

What not

The fat shaming and color shaming get a bit too much after a point, especially if they aren’t resolved properly. For some reason, much of the dialogue is also bellowed at extremely high decibels throughout the cast, especially in the comedic scenes, which weakens some of the humorous impact. The whole movie is also wrapped up too quickly and easily, and a little abruptly, as the story was set up for more. It is fair to say that Hemal Kothari’s editing down to the last detail is a problem, as is KU Mohanan’s pedestrian camera work.

BL verdict

All said and done, Raksha Bandhan is bringing back old-school Hindi cinema with old-school values ​​to good effect. BollywoodLife goes with 3.5 out of 5 stars.
