Ayushmann Khurrana, Shefali Shah, Rakul Preet Singh: 5 Reasons to watch Doctor G

Ayushmann Khurrana is back with another family entertainer - Doctor G. If the trailer is anything to go by, this movie promises to be both a laugh riot and a socially relevant drama. The film releases today, so ETimes brings you 5 compelling reasons why you should watch this film in a theatre.

While the Doctor G trailer has been loved by the audience, for some discerning viewers, this has been as exciting a comedy with a medical backdrop as Munna Bhai MBBS. Fans of the genre have remarked that this is the first movie since Rajkumar Hirani's movie to be based out of a medical campus.

For long, conversations in cinema have been about women trying to find a footing in the man's world. But with Doctor G, things get turned on their head, as a man finds himself in the middle of women's world. For the audience, this promises to be a thought-provoking entertainer.

This is the first time that audiences will get to see the refreshing pairing of Ayushmann Khurrana and Rakul Preet Singh. Previously AK's unique pairings have produced unforgettable results - Badhaai Ho with Sanya Malhotra and Andhadhun with Radhika Apte. There's every reason Doctor G could follow the same path.

It's going to be a tug-of-war of epic proportions between Ayushmann Khurrana and Shefali Shah. Both actors have been in a purple patch for the past few years and their career crescendos seems to be crossing the path in Doctor G. Their tiff will be the highlight of this comedy.

Ayushmann's family oriented films have been runaway hits and they've been appreciated equally by the classes and masses. Doctor G looks like another prime example of a solid family entertainer. The best part of the deal is the fact that this movie has a less-than-two-hour runtime.
