Synopsis
BADHAAI DO is the story of a homosexual couple entering into a lavender marriage. Shardul Thakur (Rajkummar Rao) is a cop in Dehradun. He stays with his conservative family. He is a closet homosexual man and he hasn’t revealed this fact to his family. He’s 32 and his family is pressuring him to get married. Suman Singh (Bhumi Pednekar), meanwhile, is a physical education teacher, and is a closet lesbian. Even her family is compelling her to settle down. She resorts to dating apps to find a suitable match. She comes across the profile of Raju and he expresses a desire to meet her and take matters forward. She agrees and they decide to meet in a café. At the café, she gets the shock of her life when she realizes that Raju is actually a guy pretending to be a girl. This guy, whose real name is Rajeev (Vyom Yadav), finds out where Suman lives and where her father (Nitesh Pandey) has a shop. He blackmails her and demands sexual favours or else he threatens to expose her. Suman complains to the police. Shardul notes down her complaint and he gets Rajeev arrested. Rajeev blurts out to Shardul that she’s not straight. While noting down her complaint, he has learnt that Suman is of the same caste as him. Hence, he meets Suman and asks her to get married to him. According to his plan, both can reside as roommates after tying the knot and can live their lives on their own terms. Suman agrees and thus, both get married. A year after marriage, Shardul’s family starts pressurizing the couple for a baby. Shardul is dating an MBA student, Kabir (Deepak Arora), and their relationship is on the rocks. Suman, meanwhile, bumps into Rimjhim Jongkey (Chum Darang), who works at a pathology lab. Both begin a secret affair and Rimjhim even moves into Shardul and Suman’s marriage. Shardul gets afraid over this development as he resides in the police quarters where his fellow cop neighbours are quite conservative. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
