“LGM: Let’s Get Married” Receives Mixed Reviews, Dhoni’s Debut Production Underwhelms

The much-awaited film “LGM: Let’s Get Married,” produced by former Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Sakshi Dhoni, hit the theatres today. Anticipation for the movie was sky-high, not just for its star cast and concept but also due to the association with the beloved cricketer, who enjoys immense popularity in Tamil Nadu as the captain of the Chennai Super Kings.

“Let’s Get Married” revolves around the story of a young girl, Meera (Ivana), who decides to spend time with her future mother-in-law, Gowtham’s mother (Nadiya), before tying the knot with her boyfriend Gowtham (Harish Kalyan). The film promises a journey filled with fun and adventure as the characters embark on this unique bonding experience.

As the film hit the screens, audiences took to Twitter to share their reactions and reviews. However, the overall reception seems to be less enthusiastic than expected.

The director Ramesh wastes no time in introducing the couple, Gautham and Meera, who have been dating for two years. The premise of Meera wanting to understand her future mother-in-law better by going on a trip with her family members holds the potential for an engaging script. However, the film falters in its execution, stretching the idea into a more than two-and-a-half-hour screenplay filled with forced laughter and inorganic narrative.

One major drawback of “LGM: Let’s Get Married” is the inconsistent writing and technical aspects, leaving viewers questioning why the film fell short of expectations. The character arcs lack depth, and the trip that was meant to bring the families together fails to provide meaningful transformations. Moreover, poorly rendered CGI elements, such as the tiger in the final act, add to the film’s underwhelming experience.

The visual presentation also suffers from a lack of immersion, as the film incorporates numerous green mat sequences, undermining the authenticity of the travel film genre.

Despite these shortcomings, the performances of Harish Kalyan, Ivana, and Nadiya have been praised for elevating certain sequences with their screen presence. Yogi Babu, known for his witty one-liners, manages to engage viewers at times. However, the film as a whole lacks the substance to leave a lasting impression.

Ramesh, the director, also doubles as the music director, but the soundtrack fails to make a significant impact on the film’s overall narrative, raising questions about the creative choices made.

“LGM: Let’s Get Married” falls short of the high expectations set by Dhoni’s debut production venture. The film struggles with its writing, technical execution, and lack of meaningful character development, making it a below-average romantic drama that fails to leave a lasting impact.

As viewers share their mixed reactions on social media, it remains to be seen how the film performs at the box office in the coming days.
