What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

This warmhearted comedy takes place in a household completely dominated by Durga Bhatnagar, an imposing matriarch who's desperate for a grandson and heir.
