Plot : Gattu(Rajkummar Rao) & Binny (Shruti Hassan) are next door neighbours.
The romantic rendezvous on the terrace for the two lovers should have led to far more interesting nuggets too.Cast: RajkummarRao ,Shruti Hassan, Ranjit,Gulshan Grover, Herry Tangri. This could have been a disarming comedy with the help of roguish old Ranjeet and Gulshan Grover as Herry Tengri’s uncle and father, who would do anything to bring back their family honour and disrepute it could have a lot of fun too.
What also doesn’t work is the writer’s inability to comprehend the complexities behind North Indian middle class families where romance between a young boy and a girl may not be encouraged by the still somewhat conservative middle of the social hierarchy parents but surely Lucknow has far more accepting and ordinary among ordinary but educated families. The intentional comedy in the film always seems on the verge of working, but then, is quickly bludgeoned to death with staleness. Does he accomplish his mission? With Gattu being so unadventurously coward and so much at stake, it seems unlikely. There is a misunderstanding too that arises out of Binny riding pillion on his best friend Herry Tengri’s motorcycle that leads to further complications between the two families. To make matters worse, all his hopes crumble when both his father (Darshan Jariwala) and his patriarchal elder brother, (Ninad Kamat) believe he is more like a brother to Binny, and even assign him the job of looking after her, if need be. Every time Gattu does get an opportunity to confess his love for her, he has to chicken out for lack of any vital nerve. A tough nut to crack, Binny declares that to win over her love, he needs to prove that he has guts and is not a wimp. Naturally, he leaves no stone unturned to make sure Binny falls for him too. As Binny’s grandmother kicks the bucket, good fortune knocks on his door when he is made to visit his neighbour’s home more and more frequently. A lovelorn Gattu is jobless and is dependent on his father and sees no hope for himself. When Gattu discovers his love for Binny, he tries every trick in the book to impress her albeit rather modestly. Behen Hogi Teri has Gattu (Rajkummar Rao) and Binny (Shruti Haasan) living across each other in a narrow lane that reflects the thin and confined mindsets that seem to occupy inhabitants of the residential colony.
