Plot – Hailing from a traditional family, Aarti Shukla (Kriti Kharbanda), a well-educated girl from Kanpur, falls in love with Satyendra (Rajkummar Rao); her arranged match. Satyendra’s stable government job – clerk in excise dept in addition to an upper class family background impresses her parents; while his humbleness and open-minded thoughts, win over the girl. But the love story takes a serious turn when Aarti runs away on her wedding day, leaving Satyendra at the altar.

Review – Fearing she’ll end up as a housewife after wedding, a determined Aarti sacrifices her love for Satyendra as she chooses profession and freedom. Scarred with rejection, heartbreak in addition to societal embarrassment, Satyendra becomes a completely changed man. Years later, destiny brings them together. What unfolds forms crux of the story.

While director Ratnaa Sinha addresses a variety of social issues (bribe, dowry, gender equality) in her directorial debut, Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana is mainly a romantic drama. The film treats the audience with class and gender disparity, revenge, jealousy in addition to eternal love.

The plot looks far-fetched riddled with misunderstandings but features some really good performances, led by the extremely talented Rajkummar Rao. Whatever he touches turns to gold. His subtle and sincere portrayal of Satyendra is a witness to his much talked about acting intensity. Kriti Kharbanda exudes charm and simplicity, thus complimenting Rao perfectly.

Final Words – The film could’ve been much better than it finally turns out to be. But Rajkummar Rao and Kriti Kharbanda’s adorable chemistry as well as appealing performance makes the film a must watch! Go for it!
