It’s not even been a day and Ayushmann Khurrana’s Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan trailer has broke the internet. Ayushmann has always been known for doing movies with unique story lines be it Vicky Donor, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, Bala or Dreamgirl. The film also features amazing actors like Jitendra Kumar, Manurishi Chaddha, Neena Gupta, Sunita Rajwar and Gajraj Rao. You might recognize Jitendra from Kota Factory in which he did an amazing as Jeetu Bhaiya. Jitendra Kumar would be playing the love interest of Ayushmann Khurrana.

The movie is about how two guys who happen to be neighbours fell in love and their journey towards acceptance. The trailer deals with the topic very sensitively and the humour is kept intact throughout the movie. The main motto of the movie is to smash homophobia and show that LOVE IS LOVE.

The trailer starts Manurishi Chaddha making fun of Ayushmann by asking when did he decide to be a homosexual man, to which his response is, “When did you decide to be a straight man?” Seriously? people still think that homosexuality is a choice, just a like switch you can turn off and on your homosexuality. Shaking My Head.

The best part of the movie is it doesn’t portray the leads as feminine or flamboyant characters. They are simple middle class dudes who are super relatable. Bollywood is known to show gay characters as bizarre as if they some unrealistic characters. This movie thankfully doesn’t do that and I guess that’s what makes the movie as its just another love story but this time two guys have fell in love with each other.

The number stereotypes the trailer breaks is uncountable. Right from the beginning to the end, there is accurate representation of Indian society and how difficult is it to be accepted even by your own family. Expectations guys have to face with when they get are going to get married. Ayushmann sums this up beautifully by saying “What you life with get freezed after your last phera? Happy Ending? No after the first night your Roadies will start. New day new task. Will you become a Roadie?”. The movie  shows mirror to the hypocrite society. Usually we expect educated people to understand and think sensibly. But such is the hypocrisy of Indian Society everything is fine until it doesn’t happen to our kids. When it comes to our kids, no we don’t want “anything bad” to happen to them, so for them homosexuality is mann ka veham.

The parents try many ways to remove the gayness of their kids. Jitu’s Dad literally tries to wash off his sexual orientation. And even try to forcefully get him married to a girl. Their parents also think that porn is one of the reasons for their kids to become gay. Both the guys with their own tactics but very peacefully try to make their parents understand, all they want is a happy ending to their love story just like everyone else’s.

All I have to say is that this movie is special not just because it breaks all stereotypes and it has great actors. But because it tries to make people understand in the most easy way possible that LOVE IS LOVE. Because no matter how many laws you make or how many battles you win in court the most important battle will be to win people’s heart.
