Zee Studios, Sanjay Kohli and Edit II Productions’ Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! (UA) is the story of two neighbours, Vibhuti Mishra (Aasif Sheikh) and Tiwari (Rohitashv Gour). Vibhuti is married to Anita (Vidisha Srivastava) but he is more fond of Tiwari’s wife, Angoori (Shubhangi Atre). Two brothers — Shanti (Ravi Kishan) and Kranti (Mukesh Tiwari) — set their eyes on the two wives. They even want to marry them after killing their husbands. Do the two brothers succeed in their mission?
Raghuvir Shekhawat, Shashank Bali and Sanjay Kohli’s story is an assemblage of incidents and anecdotes rather than a free-flowing story. But it has been written in an interesting style. The trio’s screenplay, with additional screenplay by Vihaan Kohli, is interesting as well as entertaining but the viewers often get the feeling that they are watching a television serial. In fact, the film is an extension of the very popular TV serial of the same name. The scenes often bring a smile to the face and even evoke laughter at several places. But there are also some scenes which look contrived. Raghuvir Shekhawat’s dialogues are the best part of the script because they tickle the funny bone. Some of the dialogues are adult ones too.
Aasif Sheikh does an excellent job as Vibhuti Mishra. His comic sense of timing is lovely. Shubhangi Atre is fantastic in the role of Angoori Tiwari. She looks beautiful. Her faulty English vocabulary elicits laughter a number of times. Rohitashv Gour makes a fine impression as Tiwari. Vidisha Srivastava looks pretty and acts well as Anita Mishra. Ravi Kishan is terrific as Shanti. Mukesh Tiwari makes his presence amply felt in the role of Kranti. Dineshlal Nirahua is adequate as Bachu Shukla. Brijendra Kala is impressive as Mamaji. His patent style of almost using a four-letter word and then apologising evokes laughter. Yogesh Tripathi is quite okay as Happu Singh. Saanand Verma makes his mark as Anokhelal Saxena. Vaibhav and Salim are nice as Tika and Tillu respectively. Mushtaq Khan performs ably as Bachu Shukla’s father. Others are passable.
Shashank Bali’s direction is good but having said that, it must be added that watching the film often feels like watching a TV serial. Vishal Shelke’s music and background music are quite nice. Arjun Kukreti’s cinematography is proper. P.K. Swain’s action and stunt scenes are functional. Arup Adhikary’s production designing is of a good standard. Sanjay Sankla’s editing is sharp.
On the whole, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! is an entertaining fare but its box-office prospects are limited because it is an extension of the television serial of the same name and starring many of the same actors.
Released on 6-2-’26 at Inox (daily 2 shows) and other cinemas of Bombay by Zee Studios. Publicity & opening: dull. …….Also released all over. Opening was not up to the mark at most of the places.
