Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari, Manoj Bajpayee, Diljit Dosanjh and Fatima Sana Shaikh movie is set to entertain viewers on 13th November this year. The first poster of the film is out and displays the confirmed release date during Diwali.
The poster design is a traditional Indian horoscope. A microscope looks to point out the film’s connection with the fascination of the Indians with astrology. Directed by Abhishek Sharma, Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari promises some genuine laughs.
The film’s entertainers includes Annu Kapoor, Manoj Pahwa, Seema Pahwa, Supriya Pilgaonkar, Nehha Pendse, Manuj Sharma, Neeraj Sood, Abhishek Banerjee, Vijay Raaz, Karishma Tanna, Vanshikha Sharma amongst others.
Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari is touted to be a different kind comedy about a wedding detective on the hunt which soon turns into a hilarious chase game between Manoj and Diljit. The film is a slice of life story set in the 90s.
Expressing his take behind the film, 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.”
