Nevertheless, it is still an entertaining watch, with all due credit to Rajkummar Rao’s terrific performance, a great supporting cast and some really funny scenes. Behen Hogi Teri may not be as funny as the trailer has promised us, thanks to a sluggish second half and weak female characters. And a few others are replete with exaggeration. In contrast, some scenes are just too superficial to make any sense. There is some snappy dialogue to support this through too.īut this goodness lasts only a few scenes and is washed away with other sequences. Both these aspects are rare in films and even more so because it is executed using the “show, don't tell” rule. For example, the stories a character makes up to get the parents to behave in a certain way. In fact, these logistics implicitly point to how well characters know each other. For example, the lies that need to be told to get one's way.

There is a certain freshness in how the logistics of certain situations are explained. That no man really wants to treat women around him as sisters sounds more like a frustrated rant of a many-year-old, suppressed angst. The story gives an insight into the traditional mindsets of people in the nawaab city of Lucknow and how these love-birds find a way into love amidst all of this.The very premise induces cringes in plenty – why are young men asked to treat all the young women around them as sisters? Sure, the issue of honor killing is touched upon, but it seems more as an after thought, when the writers realised that the premise is not virtuous enough to hold ground for an otherwise done-to-death “family vs. If they stand on one side of the war lines, Darshan Jariwala, who plays Gattu’s father, stands on the other side, desperate to assert his authority in this neighbourhood. Ranjeet and Gulshan Grover appear as local thugs who respond to inter-caste romances with honour killings. He just stands by and silently observes Binny’s engagement to NRI Rahul (Gautam Gulati) and allows a huge misunderstanding about her alleged affair with his best friend (Harry Tangri) to snowball. Mostly it's about Gattu needing to find the courage to stand up to Binny’s family - and his own - and declare his true feelings, which takes painfully long to happen. But the one thing he’s sure of is his fondness for his neighbour Binny (Shruti Haasan) who he is a supposed rakhi brother to due to the mentality of the locality that these both reside in.

The protagonist of Behen Hogi Teri, Gattu (Rajkummar Rao) is an average boy - below average at academics, a bit timid when it comes to standing up to his parents and with no future prospects to boast of.
