Director: Abhishek Jain
Release Date: 29th October 2021 on Disney Plus Hotstar VIP
Story: Dhruv Shikhar (Rajkumar Rao) is an orphan who hasn’t had a very happy childhood. He had worked in the dhaba of Purshottam Mishra (Paresh Rawal). He grows up to become a successful and self-made man. He has just launched the Jaadugar app which is about Virtual Reality. He meets blogger Anya Mehra (Kriti Sanon) at the launch party of his app. Soon they fall in love with one another. However Anya makes it known to Dhruv that she would want to get married to a person who has a loving family and a dog.
Anya also has a reason for doing so. Her parents died when she was a kid. Her chacha Dr. Sanjeev Mehra (Manu Rishi Chadha) and wife Rupa Mehra (Prachee Shah Pandya) raised her like her own child. Dhruv fears that if he tells her the truth that he has no one in this world, she might leave him. So he lies that he stays with his parents. he along with his best friend Shunty (Aparshakti Khurana) decides to find a man and woman who can pretend to be his parents. Shunty takes him to Shadiraam (Sanand Verma) for the fake parents but things didn’t finalize.
At this point, Dhruv is reminded of Purshottam who has now retired and has settled in Shimla. He also realizes that he’s in love with Deepti Kashyap (Ratna Pathak Shah) also resides in Shimla. They agree to pose as his parents as they want to help Dhruv marry the girl of his choice. At first there are many an awkward moment between Dhruv’s family and Anya’s family. However the truth about the identities of Dhruv’s parents comes out in the open on the day of Dhruv’s engagement with Anya. What happens then will Anya married Druv is all about this film.

Durgesh Tiwary’s View : When I watched the trailer of this film planned to watch this movie in my free time as it looks one time watch due to good star-cast and family film.
Movie story is highly entertaining and has the potential to be a funny and emotional saga but screenplay fails to do justice to such a great plot. Some funny and emotional scenes do stand out but overall a few developments are difficult to digest. Director handles the romantic track well and also the portion in the second half when Dhruv bonds with his pretend parents. The scenes of Dhruv and Anya’s romance are decent and set the base for the film. After a point, one does get restless as one has already seen the trailers and how the story is going to pan out next.
It’s only when Purshottam and Deepti agree to be Dhruv’s parents that the film gets interesting once again. The scene where both the families meet is funny. Post-interval, the scenes of Anya staying with Dhruv’s family make for a nice watch. The scene where Deepti speaks to Dhruv about her strained relations with her son is very touching. Overall film rests on a great plot and fine performances from the lead actors but the average script and weak climax diminishes the impact to an extent. My view on this movie Time Pass if you loved family film and want to spend 2 hours to watch a movie with family.
