Director Abhishek Kapoor’s film, set in Chandigarh (duh), explores the hatke romance between brawny gym owner Manvinder ‘Manu’ Mujnal (Ayushmann Khurrana) and Zumba instructor Maanvi Brar (Vaani Kapoor).
Summary
Manu, a bodybuilder from Chandigarh falls in love with Maanvi, a Zumba teacher. All seems well until a shocking revelation causes turmoil in their love story.
Movie Review
Manu, is a self-professed “certified top fitness trainer in Chandigarh” who lives with a big, fat Punjabi family comprising a spirited grandfather (Aanjjan Srivastav), his father (Girish Dhamija), a widower, who wants to marry his Muslim girlfriend and two busybody sisters (Tanya Abrol and Sawan Rupowali) who have appointed themselves as Manu’s moms. Manu fends off all talk of marriage as his only goal is to become Chandigarh’s GOAT – Gabru of The Year, by winning an intense fitness competition. A wrench is thrown in his plans when Maanvi, the new Zumba instructor at his gym, saunters into his life and it is love at first sight for Manu.
Well portrayed, well-acted
In the past, Bollywood has used the LGBTQIA community as fodder for mockery and laughter. Thankfully, this movie uses humour smartly while remaining empathetic towards a sensitive issue.
