Badhaai Do is a complete family entertainer that also bravely addresses a social issue
Films like Badhaai Do are important. It normalises the subject for the average Indian family and starts a conversation. While Bollywood has seen several films where the stories revolve around the gay and lesbian community, this film attempts to provide a perspective to families, especially in smaller towns. Instead of walking away from them, the film brings families right into the centre of the fold.(more)

Rajkummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar film hides its core under layers of humour
The film goes on, coralling in other subjects. Amongst them is the deep desire to have children, the difficulties of adoption amongst people who are gay or lesbian: that these words are spoken out loud, by the leads, in a defiant act of ownership, is a good thing. But it takes almost the whole of 2.5 hours to do so, while sending Shardul and Sumi spinning off in other directions.(more)

Rajkummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar's family entertainer is bold but could have been braver
Having said that, the length of the film is a bit of a stretch and the editing could definitely have been much crisper. There are times when the narrative goes off track, and gets dragged longer. But thankfully, it returns well within time and gets back on the message it intended to send. Badhaai Do is bold but could have been braver.(more)

The Acting By Rajkummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar And Ensemble Is Extraordinarily Effective
Both are delicately written, executed and performed roles that gives Badhaai Do a firm spine. (more)

Bhumi Pednekar, Rajkummar Rao in a refreshing addition to the increasingly sanitised queer genre
Badhaai Do is largely, and rightfully preoccupied with the characters sexuality, characters who are not paragons but people, they burp and fart and have loose anger and dark circles. They chafe at their limitations.(more)

RajKummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar Are Shining Stars In An Otherwise Bland Sky!
Badhaai Do is a good film at heart but fails to impress as a whole package. RajKummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar try their best, but it isn't enough!(more)
