Shubh Mangal Saavdhan is the remake of 2013 Tamil film Kalyana Samayal Saadham. The movie marks Ayushmann Khurrana's second collaboration with Bhumi Pednekar after Dum Laga Ke Haisha (2015).
In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee wrote, "Shubh Mangal Saavdhan is worthy of applause for the way it breaks the patriarchal notions of masculinity that have been perpetuated ad infinitum by the popular strain of Indian cinema that has been built around a mard who feels no dard. Here the hero's anguish and bewilderment are real and his frailties, physical and emotional, aren't blamed upon anybody else but himself. It is he who's got to sort it out in the mind and the body, with, of course, a great deal of help from the woman in his life."
Ayushmann Khurrana features as a Gurgaon-based sales manager Mudit, who is dealing with a 'gent's problem' in film and Bhumi features as Sugandha.
Shubh Mangal Saavdhan released in theatres along with Milan Luthria's Baadshaho, starring Ajay Devgn, Ileana D'Cruz, Emraan Hashmi, Vidyut Jammwal, Esha Gupta and Sanjay Mishra.
