What happens when a couple discovers that they are expecting a third child when their eldest son is about to get married. Badhai Ho is a brilliant take on that. This middle class couple is not really thinking of how the new arrival will impact the economics of the family budget. Far from it. Their main anxiety is how to break the news to the family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, relatives ... Each encounter is a potential bundle of embarrassment for different reasons. No one believes for a minute what the couple wants. Everyone is looking at it from their own point of view. That is the nuanced message this film brings.
