I can still get a little entertained with all this but then the whole greed and money matters start to appear. How she gets pregnant after such a crappy honeymoon is beyond me. I seriously feel no millennial will ever do that. Why would anyone do that? Why are Indians pretending to have nothing to do with sexual desires and romance? Like dude, it’s your honeymoon and you should be spending alone time with your husband, alone being the keyword here. As if that wasn’t bad enough, she insists to take the entire family on her honeymoon. The most pathetic part of the movie that I can literally never wrap my head around is when Sadhana picks Rampur of all places, for her honeymoon. If you go by the principles of this film, we aren’t supposed to have ambitions, opinions or the right to sit at the dinner table and eat before the men of the house.īy the way, that’s again, is not the worst part of the movie. I mean, was that supposed to be a compliment? Of course, women are born to serve men. And one of those sexist men comment saying that this is the real sanskaari shit – a house where women cook and serve. In fact, there’s a scene where the men are sitting on the dining table devouring their food, while the women of the house are serving them. But the bahus of the family will always appear in traditional clothing. Sangeeta (Neelam) who is the daughter of the house wears jeans and western clothes. The film desperately tries to assert the skewed sense of sanskaars in our society and comes doused in poojas, sacrifice and of course, sexism. Her love interest is Vinod (Saif Ali Khan), who is as disinterested in working, as her. Sapna (Karisma Kapoor) is the only normal character except that she has no ambitions and is just seen hopping around and being chirpy. Her only job is to cook and serve food and blush every time she is in the vicinity of her love interest. Preeti (Sonali Bendre) who may be saving lives and shit but gets with Prem (Salman Khan) and gives up everything to make bowls of gajar ka halwa. She falls for the eldest brother Vivek (Mohnish Behl).
Sadhana (Tabu) is an independent woman who has returned from abroad but she happens to be present during that bhajan sequence and ends up getting converted into a desi version of The Stepford Wives. It even has a song dedicated to worshipping your parents and I am just like, really we all love our parents but who the fuck sings a bhajan for them? But that’s not even the biggest icky aspect of this audio-visual horror. If you think Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham is the ultimate drama then you’ve probably forgotten all about this film.
