“Shubh Mangal Saavdhan” (2017) is a romantic comedy directed by R.S. Prasanna that tackles a taboo subject with humor and sensitivity. The film revolves around Mudit and Sugandha, a young couple engaged to be married. Their otherwise sweet and simple love story takes a surprising turn when Mudit discovers he suffers from erectile dysfunction. As both families get involved in trying to “fix” the problem, the film cleverly uses humor to address issues of masculinity, societal pressure, and intimacy in Indian relationships, breaking stereotypes without being preachy.
