Good concept, poorly executed.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The movie is about a dysfunctional Indian family ... the fights , misunderstandings ,complicated relationships .... something which most of us as Indians can easily relate to.The story primarily focuses on two brothers ,Fawad khan , a successful writer living in UK and Siddharth Malhotra, also a wannabe writer still trying to find his feet in the US . It also deals with the lives of their parents Rajat Kapur and Ratna Pathak shah who are trying to get their married life back on track. Not to forget ... the tharki buddha ... Rishi Kapoor as the grandfather, in an awesome role which really invokes spontaneous laughter with his witty one liners. the old one is as horny as a teenager with raging hormones. .. trying to smoke pot on the sly, watch porn on his I-papad (I-pad ) ,making cheesy comments abt the nurses in the hospital and what not . But he is also a lovable old guy who wants to keep the family together and have a happy family pic with all of them ... and hence the title .Complications occur with the entry of Alia Bhatt ( who does not have much of a role ) ..... she first falls for the "maa ka accha baccha" Fawad and then realizes that she gets along better with the rebellious Sid ... this causes a lot of complications in the brothers lives .... how they sort out things forms the rest of the story.The first half is light with lots of funny moments mainly due to Rishi Kapoor and his amazing potty ,porn and pyt (pretty young things) jokes. . The second half is more serious .. Rona Dhona ... melodrama and a few twist as the climax unfolds . Remember it is a Karan Johar film ........ and there is someone who is not who he seems to be ... wont tell who thou( spoiler alert!!!) smile emoticon:)All the members of the cast have acted well."Ladki beautiful " is quite catchy and will definitely appeal to the young crowd .. nothing much to say abt the music otherwise. Direction is okay .My rating : 3 Stars ( ***). I recommend watching the movie primarily for the 1st half and Rishi Kapoor's acting which really makes it worth every penny spent.

One of the most under-rated but surely among the best Hindi movies of 2016. It is a family drama with a tinge of comedy and romance. But what stands out is the truthfulness with which the conflicts between all characters is portrayed. I guess any viewer will be able to relate the film to his family in some way or another. Casting for all the parts seems apt. Rishi Kapoor brings forward his acting prowess playing a 90 year old grandfather. He is the eldest Kapoor but his amazing comic timing brings a lightness to the film. The two grandsons are played by Fawad Khan and Siddharth Malhotra. Both play their parts well while you might at some instances find Siddharth strained to show his emotions. Alia Bhatt does not really play a central character but her performance stands out. She is effortless in her portrayal of a myriad of emotions from fun to romantic to sad. This movie is a bit of an emotional roller-coaster and bound to leave you teary-eyed at times.

I think this is one of my fave Bollywoods movie after long time not watch it. yeah, i'm going interest to Bollywood again after watch this movie. i like the story,songs,camera technique etc. It's mix together create a good entertaining and emotional story line.every character look so good.They are act so good and all focused on their part. maybe some of best part is in the ending. its look perfect toclose of this movie.And maybe i will looking for some Bollywood movie after watch this movie.yes if you looking for drama movie for this time. i think this movie should in your list.Im going back to Bollywood.

A brilliantly written, directed, acted and edited movie that will resonate strongly with you-no matter at which end of the craziness spectrum your family behaves. From the very first scene, all the characters feel extremely real in the way they talk, dress, address each other, laugh with or at each other or even taunt each other. It feels like that character is you-or at least if not you it is someone else in your family. The director makes you feel like you are a part of that family and that sense of belonging makes you even more invested in those characters.A real film full of raw, unadulterated emotions.
