About the film
The story of Badhai Ho had been a quirky take on middle-age pregnancy and tried to engage the viewers to its possibilities despite the social stigma around an accidental pregnancy, like the one shown in the film. Neena Gupta played the role of the expectant middle-aged mother while Ayushmann Khurrana played the role of her son who learns to come to terms with his mother's pregnancy. Gajraj Rao played the role of the father while Surekha Sikri was an amusing and wise grandmother.
This middle-class family undergoes several twists and turns after learning about this unwanted pregnancy. The couple in its 50s desire to keep the baby despite judgmental views and opinions of the society. However, their decision is followed by loads of drama and hilarious instances.
