Was Neena Gupta Even Good in Badhai Ho?

I mean she was okay in the movie, but why is everyone acting as if she delivered some kind of pathbreaking performance?

She was brilliant. Just the way she delivers that line 'tumhari inni sab baaton ka nateeja hai ye'.

I agree ... movie itself was OK-ay! .. I felt very underwhelmed after seeing the movie .. it didn't match up the hype nor did the characters! ... they all seemed very uni-dimensional along with the flat storyline ... there were no curves throughout the movie! ... When I compare this to Andhadhun, hype fall flat while Andhadhun was another beast to tackle with! ... That movie was worth every second of it!

Neena Gupta by her own standards wasn't as good or maybe there wasn't much to do with her character. I've seen her work and she's been terrific in her past roles.

I think the true show stealer was Surekha Sikri and the guy who played the father's role. They were amazing!

Same here. For most of the movie she was playing old pregnant lady which didn't require a lot of effort to begin with

The grandmother speech in defense of neena and Ayushmans speech to Sanya's Mom were the highlights

The grandmother speech got a round of applause from the theater I was at. That was awesome. I had a bunch of old white people next to me and they were all clapping in glee. 😆

I loved the movie it dealt with a different hatke subject in a light hearted way

Badhaai ho was actually a daily soap squeezed n catered as a motion picture. Neena did well in the part and did exactly what is required of her without making her character a caricature. That takes immense talent as an actor to put a " . " where its needed n not many 'actors' know how to. So in my opinion yes she was good.

Not many realize that the so-called 'not putting any effort to act on screen' requires the most effort. Neena's subtle expressions and mannerisms were what made the movie so believable (along with the other veterans and Ayushman).
