Shub Mangal Saavdhan is a light hearted flick that can be seen by the whole family despite its taboo subject.

With the success of ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi,’ Ayushmann Khurrana is definitely at the height of popularity. Actress Bhoomi Pednekar too is enjoying some glory after her film ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ became a big hit. Now, these two super talented actors are coming together to release their upcoming romantic comedy ‘Shubh Mangal Saavdhan’ which will hit the screens on September 1, 2017. The trailer of the film has been really well received and has made everyone highly anticipate the film. In case you have not jumped on the bandwagon, here are few reasons why you should.

Director R.S. Prasanna who is helming this film is foraying into Bollywood, but there is already a lot of promise in the man. He was the director of the Tamil film ‘Kalyana Samayal Saadham’ , which inspired ‘Shubh Mangal Saavdhan’. The film was a critical success when it came out in 2013, and apparently producer Aanand L Rai saw so much potential in the filmmaker, that he was ready to bankroll the remake. So it goes without saying that with such firm production backing him, there must be something unique about the filmmaker. It remains to be seen if he can make an impact with the film or not.

‘Shubh Mangal Saavdhan’ deals with the sensitive issue of erectile dysfunction and impotency. Of course, a topic like this can turn vulgar real fast but it looks like the makers have managed to still keep the movie family-friendly. From the trailer, it is clear that the focus is on the topic of erectile dysfunction and still it is dealt with in such a lighthearted and subtle manner that makes it very tasteful. It is amazing how the makers have managed to walk that fine line without becoming cheap or slapstick. Hopefully, the film will be as good as the trailer.
