Mumbai, April, 2020: Amazon Prime Video today announced the digital premiere of
much-awaited 2020 romantic dramedy Shubh Mangal Zyada
Saavdhan. The movie that has broken all conventions of love,
romance and acceptance with its heartfelt story is all set to premiere on the
service on April 18. Starring superstar Ayushmann Khurrana with Gajraj Rao,
Neena Gupta and Jitendra Kumar, the film brings same-sex romance to mainstream
cinema with the protagonists trying to convince their parents to accept their
relationship. Prime members globally can watch this year’s blockbuster shortly
after its theatrical release.
Commenting on the film, Ayushmann Khurrana said, “This movie is very close to my
heart. It has been a while since same-sex love was decriminalized; however, I
believe we have a long way to go before the society accepts it. Shubh
Mangal Zyada Saavdhan is a lighter take on the reality of
homophobia that exists in India and also an attempt to bring such
unconventional stories to the fore. Art and cinema, in my opinion, can do a lot
to change mindsets. With Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, that was
our intent, to bring the conversation on same-sex love to all of India. I am
happy to have been a part of it and excited for the film to digitally premiere
on Amazon Prime Video where it will reach a global audience.”
Synopsis:
Presenting the life of two men who are in love with each
other, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan depicts their
struggle to convince their families to accept the relationship. But things are
never as easy as they seem and one of the boys’ family decides to get him
married to a girl. Will their unconventional love prevail? Directed by Hitesh
Kewalya, the film stars Ayushmann Khurana, Jiterndra Kumar, Neena Gupta and
Gajraj Rao.
