It is like watching a young Salman Khan be charmed by a young Madhuri Dixit, but this boy acts better and the girl is winsome. 'Vaidehi Trivedi,' he says, over and over, mesmerised even by the syllables of her name, minutes after she tells him to make sure he eats the halwa. Limits are hard for garrulous young Badrinath, and when he sees Alia Bhatt at a wedding, he falls hard. Too eager to flash his giddiness to the world, he's constantly being reined in by the photographer. It starts with Varun Dhawan trying to grin. This makes it an appropriate backdrop for Shashank Khaitan's breezy but sincere Badrinath Ki Dulhania, a film that has monumental ambition yet relies, modestly, on make-believe. A conveniently miniaturised collection of the seven wonders are arranged next to the Kishore Sagar lake, a world of selfie-friendly replicas for newlywed couples to exploit.
