But lurking beneath its good-natured humour is a critique of parents, siblings and friends who are oblivious to an individualРІР‚в„ўs needs and unwilling to advise anything conformity and compromise when things go wrong. The documentary feel to Meenal AgarwalРІР‚в„ўs production design, the conversational dialogue and naturalistic acting, Manu AnandРІР‚в„ўs rich camerawork, and the use of actual locations in Haridwar and Rishikesh are effectively deployed to unmask the psychological oppressiveness and emotional violence that are as much a part of Indian family life as its support structures.Р”Вum Lage Ke Haisha works perfectly well as an offbeat romantic comedy. Writer and director Sharat Katariya plonks the classic odd-couple premise in the midst of a recognisably shabby household in danger of sliding into genteel poverty. An obstacle race that requires Prem to hoist his wife on his scrawny shoulders becomes an apt metaphor for the heavy lifting that is required in a marriage, arranged or otherwise. Prem has a ready excuse to despise Sandhya РІР‚вЂњ she is on the heavy side РІР‚вЂњ but the baggage he carries in his soul cannot be measured in kilos and grams. The question of whether the two are compatible, let alone happy, simply doesnРІР‚в„ўt arise. It is hoped that Sandhya will bring much-needed income into the diminishing family account once she completes her teacherРІР‚в„ўs training degree. He is an all-round underachiever who is easily bulldozed by his overbearing family into marrying the overweight and well-educated Sandhya (Bhumi Pednekar). Prem himself is out of step with his environment as the music he loves. Their heavily orchestral paeans to intense and absolute love are as close to extinction as the audio tapes in the museum-like music store run by Prem Tiwari (Ayushmann Khurrana). Singer Kumar Sanu and composer Anu Malik are among the movieРІР‚в„ўs patron saints.
