Shaadisthan (Bollywood – 2021)

Cast: Kirti Kulhari, Nivedita Bhattacharya, Medha Shankar,

Director: Raj Singh Chaudhary

Shaadisthan is a 2021 hindi language drama film recently released on Disney Hotstar.

The film revolve around a young girl facing emotional distress and depression due to her upcoming wedding forced by her parents. But Kirti is in the lead role who has all the way opposite life style then that girl and is more independent and also responsible. The third lady of the movie Nivedita is the mother of that young girl who understand everything but is bound by the society.

About the story, the family has to travel from Mumbai to Rajasthan for due to a wedding. The young girl is forcefully getting married to her cousin’s brother in law. After they miss their flight, their travel is arranged with the wedding band who is also travelling from Mumbai itself. Kirti is the band lead singer who has a different view of life which is more independent. Now the journey starts and the two different cultures of society encounter each other.

What happened next is to watch in the film as it shows a quite sensitive topic. As we all know in India it is quite common for young girls getting married, even before the age of 18 and forced by the parents and relatives. And a film about such a sensitive issues raises a lot of questions and red flags. We talk a lot about women empowerment and freedom but ground reality is still far away. And we all need to take a stand for it.

But even after a nice topic the film was extremely boring and slow. Acting was ok but the direction was nit that good and story was lost somewhere.

In short I would say the movie is a crap. After watching this I felt that I tortured myself nd why I even watched it. The movie in short is dull and boring.

Rating: 3/10
