Helmed by Harshavardhan Kulkarni, Badhaai Do revolves around Shardul Thakur, a police officer, and Sumi Singh, a PE instructor, both of whom are secretly gay. The couple decides on a lavender marriage to avoid their separate families forcing them to find a companion of their own gender, despite the fact that they are both in hidden relationships.

On February 11th, 2022, Badhaai Do was officially released in theatres around the world, to a rapturous response from fans. However, despite its intended budget of roughly Rs 35 crore, the film only generated Rs 7.82 crore in its opening weekend, with a lifetime total of Rs 28.03 crore at the Indian box office.
