Abhishek Sharma’s latest directorial which is also a satirical film on weddings is all set to have its cinema release on November 13.
‘Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari‘ has a star-studded cast of Manoj Bajpayee, Diljit Dosanjh and Fatima Sana Shaikh.
Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari is one of the first few films to hit the theatre screens after the reopening of theatres post the coronavirus lockdown. The movie’s plot revolves around a ‘wedding detective’ (character played by Manoj Bajpayee) who is on the hunt and the hunt very quickly turns into a chase.
Manoj Bajpayee reveals the release date of the movie by posting the poster of the film on Instagram with the caption, “Kripya apni कुंडली jaanch lein. शीघ्र ही aap sabhi ke जीवन main, Suraj ka प्रकोप
aur Mangal ka प्रभाव badhne wala hai. #SurajPeMangalBhari, 13th November! Iss Diwali get ready for this dhamakedar family entertainer!”
As per Hindustan Times, director Abhishek said, “The film is set in the 90s. We have Manoj sir playing a wedding detective, who does a background check of grooms, which was a norm during those times. There was a time when there was no mobile phone or social media and people had to deal with everything physically. It is very much in the vein of films made by Hrishkesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee. It is a clean family-comedy. It is a funny film but not a slapstick. It is a social satire.“
He said the film’s title was derived using the wordplay technique. “It points towards the rashi (zodiac sign), kundali (horoscope), that we talk about more during wedding. At the same time, it is about the cat and mouse between Suraj, which is played by Diljit and Mangal, essayed by Manoj sir.”
