Dum Laga Ke Haisha banks on Bhumi to make her character accessible enough to relate yet spirited enough to inspire. Nicely done for a brand that kick started the size zero trend, YRF. His co-star and Yash Raj Films’ latest discovery Bhumi Pednekar is quite a find. In trying not to play hero, he becomes one.

Hindi films aren’t exactly known for their sensitivity where overweight characters are concerned but Katariya builds his leading man’s embarrassment over his big bride with thoughtful nuances. Their 111-minutes long journey (deft editing by Namrata Rao) from awkward to awe-inspiring is why this adorable romance is a must watch.

So, I was interviewing a lot of stars who were making good choices, bad choices. “Because I always knew as a presenter, like somebody who’s asking questions to an actor, I could learn from the mistakes of the other persons. So, he set the tone right for me, and before that, all those six films never saw the light of the day.”Īyushmann further added that he knew he had to choose the right film as there was nobody to launch him. My career path was set because of Vicky Donor, because that was the first taboo subject I dealt with.
