OK. So a "new" topic has been discussed by this movie. Appreciate it. But that doesn't mean it's enough to make it worth a watch. It falls way short of making an impact and comes out an underwhelming ordinary tale, that you should rather skip.
The performances by lead actors are very good. Specially Bhumi has come out to be very mature and impressive. Ayushman too shows why he is still regarded as one of the most talented actors in Bollywood. The dialogue deliveries, facial expressionless, timing etc are on the mark. The small side jokes are funny enough to make audience laugh, that is fine. Also it feels heart warming to see actors from "YouTube" on big screen. Much to be applauded about this movie.
But... this movie suffers from missing(or weak)a central theme. There is severe absence of a solid "core" around which a movie should be made. Yes the protagonist suffers from a small dysfunction, but it doesn't cause a big conflict in the relationship he is about to have with her future wife. In fact his future wife is shown to be very supportive. The problem main actor suffers from isn't that serious that it justifies a big feature film on it. A short film would have the best the treatment for such topic. Basically filmmakers have tried to make a trivial idea interesting, added some funny jokes but have clearly fallen short by a long stretch. We as an audience need something more concrete.
Again Bollywood portrays lack of depth in it's products. Till the time this improves it will be very hard for me to look forward to Hindi movies every Friday. I will rather download World cinema from torrents.
score 5/10
