Putting an LGBTQ+ spin on the format, the new film stars Rajkumar Rao as gay cop Shardul Thakur and Bhumi Pednekar as lesbian PT teacher Suman Singh who opt for a lavender marriage to smooth things with their families. Naturally, it only leads to more mayhem.

 

Announcing the trailer release, Bhumi and Rajkummar wrote, "It’s one of those films that came our way, touched our hearts in ways we can’t explain. Some journeys are meant to be remembered forever. Ab aap dekho trailer aur hume #BadhaaiDo."

 

 

 

 

 

 

Badhaai Do’s trailer revolves around a marital setting between Rajkummar and Bhumi, only to know that there are a lot of secrets between these two to unfold. Getting into a marriage of convenience and living as roommates is what leads to humorous situations between the pair, making this one a perfect family entertainer. It is not only high on comedy and emotions, but this family drama also deals with a socially relevant subject, that we get a glimpse of in the trailer.

 

 

 

 

 

Badhaai Do also boasts of an ensemble cast featuring talented actors like Seema Pahwa, Sheeba Chadha, Chum Darang, Lovleen Mishra, Nitish Pandey, and Shashi Bhushan amongst others.

 

Badhaai Do will be skipping the OTT route and heading for a theatrical release. Produced by Junglee Pictures, Badhaai Do will be hitting theatres on  11 February.

 

The film will clash with Deepika Padukone's Gehraiyaan which will be released on the same day.

 

 

Lavender marriage has not been seen in Hindi films before and Badhaai Do is pushing the envelope. For the unversed, lavender marriage is a male-female mixed-orientation marriage on the surface that is undertaken as a marriage of convenience to conceal the socially stigmatized sexual orientation of one or both partners.

 

When asked if such marriages can stand the test of time, Rajkummar said, "I have known people who have had a marriage of convenience. A friend of mine told me the other day that he knows people who are in such an arrangement of a lavender marriage and they’ve been in the relationship for years now. It’s ironic. I can’t say that it’s an ideal situation to be in, because of societal pressure and family pressure. At times, you can find yourself in the wedding scenario and then you’re just stuck there for years and you can’t even get out of it."

 

 

 

 

Offering his viewpoint on the issue, the actor added, "I hope we become way more accepting as a society and culture, in the future, so no one has to be in such an arrangement. Because people do it only because of societal pressure and fear of what’s going to happen if I come out. And it’s that fear why we end up in relationships like a lavender marriage."
