It is the second installment of the Dulhania franchise and a spiritual successor to Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014), the film stars Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt. It follows the story of an aspiring independent air hostess from a small town who refuses to conform to the patriarchal expectations of her chauvinistic fiancé.
Principal photography commenced in May 2016 and took place in Panvel, Singapore, and Kota. The film was theatrically released in India on 10 March 2017 during the Holi weekend and became a financial success, earning over ₹200.45 crores worldwide.
At the 63rd Filmfare Awards, Badrinath Ki Dulhania received 8 nominations, including Best Film, Best Director (Khaitan), Best Actor (Dhawan) and Best Actress (Bhatt), and won Best Male Playback Singer (Arijit Singh for "Roke Na Ruke Naina").
Badrinath "Badri" Bansal is the youngest son in a wealthy family from Jhansi, where his father, Ambar, exerts strict control over the lives of his children. Badri's elder brother, Alok, once in love with another woman, was forced to abandon his dreams and enter into an arranged marriage with Urmila after their father's heart attack. This marriage has left Alok deeply unhappy, as Urmila, despite being intelligent and well-qualified, is not allowed to work, and Alok spends much of his time drinking to cope with his dissatisfaction. Badri, observing his brother's plight, fears the same fate for himself and becomes desperate to avoid it.
At a wedding, Badri meets Vaidehi Trivedi, a beautiful and well-educated woman who has her own career aspirations. Despite his limited education, Badri becomes infatuated with Vaidehi and decides that he must marry her, seeking his father's approval for the union. However, Vaidehi is uninterested in marriage, especially after a previous relationship ended in betrayal, where her ex-boyfriend Sagar tricked her family and ran off with their money. Although Badri helps Vaidehi's sister with her marriage, winning some favor with Vaidehi, she ultimately runs away on their wedding day, choosing to pursue her dream of becoming a flight attendant in Singapore instead.
Heartbroken and under pressure from his father, Badri follows Vaidehi to Singapore, where he confronts her in an intense and emotional encounter. Though initially furious, Badri gradually begins to understand and respect Vaidehi's independence and ambitions. As they spend more time together, Badri realizes that if they are to be together, he must support her career and convince his father to accept their relationship on more equal terms. Vaidehi agrees to consider marriage only if Badri can secure her right to work and live freely, a significant challenge given his father's traditional views.
Returning to Jhansi, Badri finally stands up to his father, Ambar, defending Vaidehi's right to work and asserting their decision to marry on their own terms. Vaidehi arrives in Jhansi, and together they confront Ambar, insisting that their marriage will proceed regardless of his approval. The story concludes with Vaidehi finishing her training and returning to India, where she and Badri maintain a long-distance relationship before reuniting. They vow to raise their future children in a more progressive environment, rejecting traditional practices like dowry and ensuring that gender equality is upheld within their family. Their journey marks a significant shift in the family's dynamics, challenging and changing the deeply entrenched patriarchal values.
Badrinath Ki Dulhania marks the second installment of a franchise that began with the romantic comedy Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014), which was also directed by Shashank Khaitan, produced by Karan Johar for Dharma Productions and starred Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt. The film was first announced on 3 May 2016 with the release of an online motion poster featuring Dhawan and Bhatt at a local village fair. Principal photography also began on the same day. Some of the scenes were also shot at the Ghatotkach Circle, Kishore Sagar Lake and Seven Wonders Park in Kota, Rajasthan.
