Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar’s Badhaai Do to debut in cinemas on February 11

The upcoming Bollywood film Badhaai Do, starring Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar in prominent characters, will arrive in theatres on February 11, 2022, the makers announced on Tuesday. 

Billed as a spiritual sequel to the National Award-winning 2018 hit Badhaai Ho, Badhaai Do has been directed by Harshvardhan Kulkarni from a script written by Suman Adhikary and Akshat Ghildial. Kulkarni has previously directed Hunterrr in 2015.


Ahead of the release of Badhaai Do, the makers shared the theatrical trailer and the new release date of the film on their official Twitter account.

If the trailer is anything to go by, the family entertainer features Rao as a cop and Pednekar as a physical education teacher.

The original film, starring late actor Surekha Sikri, Gajraj Rao, Neena Gupta, Ayushmann Khurrana, and Sanya Malhotra, narrated the story of a middle-aged couple who faces unexpected pregnancy. It was helmed by Amit Ravindernath Sharma.

Badhaai Do will be addressing another such unusual relationship and tell their story through the comedy of error situations, the makers said in a press release.

Besides Rao and Pednekar, Badhaai Do boasts of an ensemble cast, featuring Seema Pahwa, Sheeba Chadha, Chum Darang, Lovleen Mishra, Nitish Pandey, and Shashi Bhushan.

Produced by Junglee Pictures, Badhaai Do will be distributed worldwide by ZEE Studios.

'My Brilliant Career' review: Netflix makes a 125-year-old feminist story feel dangerously modern

Highlights

  • Netflix’s six-part series adapts Miles Franklin’s 1901 feminist novel
  • Phillipa Northeast stars as Sybylla Melvyn, a young writer determined to avoid the life chosen for her
  • The adaptation combines period drama with modern music, frank sexuality and stories of racism and social inequality

An erotic poem, a scandalised grandmother and a young woman with little interest in marriage make for an unexpectedly lively opening to My Brilliant Career. Netflix’s six-part adaptation of Miles Franklin’s 1901 novel wastes little time establishing that this will not be a restrained period drama.

Adapted by Liz Doran, the series follows Sybylla Melvyn, a fiercely independent young woman who dreams of becoming a writer. It follows Gillian Armstrong’s acclaimed 1979 film starring Judy Davis and Sam Neill, but brings a distinctly contemporary energy to Franklin’s story.
