Another twitter user also commented on the film's casting.

A film about homophobia and gay love will always wade into the territory of patriarchy. The real strength of #ShubhMangalZyadaSavdhaan is it's ensemble female cast and of course @ayushmannk is fantastic. Bollywood, you can take a bow.

Without being preachy at all, #ShubhMangalZyadaSavdhaan sends out such a strong, important & a much-needed message to the world. And it entertains throughout! @ayushmannk is pitch perfect and finds an able match in @Farjigulzar. The supporting cast is the best I’ve seen in ages. pic.twitter.com/TqC2bD7ctC
