Story
Dr
Uday
Gupta
(Ayushmann
Khurrana)
aspires
to
be
an
orthopedist.
However,
due
to
his
lower
rank
in
the
post-graduate
medical
entrance
exam,
he
has
no
other
choice
but
to
take
admission
in
gynaecology.
“Shukar
hain
tatti
pishaab
nahin
mila,”
his
mother
(Sheeba
Chaddha)
tries
to
cheer
him
up
but
Uday
is
stuck
at
just
one
rant-
“Jo
cheez
mere
paas
hain
nahin
usko
lekar
main
kya
karunga.”
Finally,
when
left
with
no
other
option,
Uday
reluctantly
seeks
admission
in
the
gynaecology
stream.
However,
he
gets
the
shock
of
his
life
when
he
discovers
that
he
is
lone
male
student
in
the
gynaeocology
department.
After
a
patchy
start
with
his
seniors,
Uday
befriends
most
of
them
through
a
chain
of
events.
Meanwhile,
he
also
develops
feelings
for
one
of
his
seniors
Dr
Fatima
(Rakul
Preet
Singh)
who
is
already
engaged
to
Arif
(Paresh
Pahuja).
The
rest
of
the
film
revolves
around
how
Uday
finally
realises
that
‘doctor
doctor
hota
hain.’
Direction
Anubhuti
Kashyap
picks
up
an
intriguing
subject
for
her
directorial
debut.
Together
with
writers
Saurabh
Bharat,
Sumit
Saxena
and
Vishal
Wagh,
she
weaves
a
story
around
the
gender
bias
in
the
profession
of
gynaecology.
The
debutante
filmmaker
also
packs
in
some
laughs
to
drive
home
some
poignant
message.
Anubhuti
also
deserves
a
pat
on
her
back
for
not
whitewashing
her
flawed
male
protagonist.
Ayushmann’s
character
doesn’t
burst
into
delivering
long
speeches
on
gender
stereotypes
when
how
sexist
he
has
been.
Kashyap
keeps
it
crisp
and
let’s
the
well-crafted
scenes
do
all
the
talking.
Be
it
the
scene
where
Uday
finally
steps
in
to
play
badminton
with
a
girl
or
where
his
mother
has
an
emotional
outburst;
Anubhuti
and
her
team
get
it
right.
Having
said
that,
the
second
half
of
Doctor
G
is
a
classic
case
of
‘too
many
cooks
spoil
the
broth’.
The
newbie
director
tries
to
pack
in
too
many
plot
elements
which
dilutes
the
film
a
bit.
Performances
Ayushmann
Khurrana
as
the
sheepish
aspiring
gynaecologist
delivers
an
enjoyable
performance.
The
actor
gets
the
nuance
of
his
character
bang
on.
He
portrays
the
flawed
side
of
him
as
effortlessly
as
the
goofiness
in
it.
Rakul
Preet
Singh
who
essays
the
role
of
Dr
Fatima
makes
the
most
of
what’s
written
for
her.
Her
chemistry
with
Ayushmann
is
easy-breezy.
Shefali
Shah
proves
yet
again
that
a
stellar
performer
can
leave
a
lasting
impression
with
just
a
bunch
of
scenes.
Sheeba
Chaddha
also
stands
tall
with
her
adorable
act.
The
rest
of
the
cast
including
Paresh
Pahuja,
Indraneil
Sengupta
and
Abhay
Mishr
play
their
parts
well.
Technical
Aspects
Eeshit
Narain’s
cinematography
flows
well
with
the
narrative
of
the
film.
Prerna
Saigal
fares
well
on
the
editing
table.
Music
The
tracks
of
Doctor
G
boost
of
some
quirky
lyrics
with
music
composition
by
Amit
Trivedi,
Amjad
Nadeem
Aamir
and
Sultan
Sulemani.
‘Newton’ and
‘Idiot
Aashawadi’
are
a
part
of
the
narrative.
‘Ek
Boond’
makes
for
a
soothing
listen.
‘Dil
Dhak
Dhak
Karta
Hai’
has
a
catchy
tune
but
looks
like
a
misfit
in
the
film
even
though
it
plays
during
the
closing
credits.
Verdict
When
Dr
Nandini
(Shefali
Shah)
asks
Uday
why
he
took
up
gynaecology,
the
latter
hesitantly
replies,
“Because
it’s
interesting.” Well,
this
social
comedy
too,
has
its
share
of
engaging
moments
despite
a
few
‘complications’
on
its
way.
