While one cannot call this comedy drama a breath of fresh air in Bollywood, it definitely merits to be called using an adjective like "watchable".
With some great performances by Amit Sadh, Taapsee Pannu, and Brijendra Kala, this comic film about a group of friends running a clandestine marriage bureau where they help people in love elope is engaging. Supported by a thick North Indian accent that is used by almost all characters, it goes on to explore the hardships faced by young men and women who are in love yet fail to live together due to familial and societal pressures. The film couldn't released in better time than when honor killings are rampant in the country. Ample humor and a well-executed second half makes me wanna expect more from debutante director Amit Roy.
BOTTOM LINE: It's on DVD now, and there's no excuse for you to not watch it.
Can be watched with a typical Indian family? NO, but you should.
