​"Doctor G (डॅाक्टर जी)".

Watched Hindi movie "Doctor G (डॅाक्टर जी)". 

This movie is directed by Anubhuti Kashyap. Story by Saurabh Bharat, Vishal Wagh. Produced by Junglee Pictures. It stars Ayushman Khurana, Rakul Preet Singh, Shefali Shah, Shraddha, Sheena Chaddha, Puja Sarup, Paresh Pahuja. Cinematography by Eeshit Narain. Music by Ketan Sodha. Film runs for about 2 hours and 1 minute and was released in Oct 2022. I watched it on Netflix on 11th Dec 2022 with Aditi. 

Ayushman is MBBS. He wants to do MD Orthopedics but gets MD Gynecology. He’s the only male doctor in the class. Then starts the hilarious tale of Ayushman and the females (doctors and patients) followed by an emotional twist. 

It’s kind of coming of age story. The difference being, it’s a late coming of age. It’s the transformation of a reluctant student to willing and responsible doctor through life experiences. 

Direction is decent. He appears a little undecided if he wants to make this into a hilarious movie or an emotionally serious one. Eventually he ends up making first half hilarious and second emotional. What message did he want to give in the end?

Ayushman portrays the reluctant student of gynecology well, however, he doesn’t look that young. Rakul plays his friend. She portrays the character of a girl who considers Ayushman special friend but wants to marry her fiancé. Shefali plays the strict Head of Gynecology. She excels in the later part of the movie. 

Cinematographer didn’t have much opportunity as most of the shooting is in the medical college. Music is ok ok. 

Positives: Ayushman, Shefali. 

Negatives: Undecided director. 

Watch if you have a lot of spare time, otherwise not a must watch.
