Dr. uday Gupta wants to pursue a career in orthopaedics, but to to his chagrin, he ends up being the lone man in the gynaecology department of a bhopal medical college. He begins, but soon finds himself involved in a number of amusing occurrences. Will the experience make him a better doctor and a finer person - this medical college comedy's central question.

Jo cheez mere paas hai hi nahi, uska ilaaj kaise karoon’ is a line that you’d never expect to hear from a doctor. Except perhaps for this one, played by ayushmann khurrana as the amusing, eccentric, and perplexed doctor G (Dr. uday Gupta). Of course, his relaxed ignorance of his chauvinism and patriarchal ideals is still another characteristic that jumps out in this film. Though the stree-rog vibhaag of the medical institution is the centre of his universe, he is urgently searching for a way out. The world of doctor G by Anubhuti Kashyap introduces character after character right away. Each is well-drawn and has a different personality that adds layers to the tension and disorder in Dr. Uday's life.

The women in this movie bring a lot of strength to the narrative at every turn, whether it's Dr. Jenny Jacob (Priyam Saha), Dr. KLPD aka Kumudlatha Pamulparthi Diwakaran (Shraddha Jain), the nurses, or Shobha Gupta (Sheeba Chadha as Dr. Uday's mother). The plot, which is mostly set in a medical college campus in bhopal, is made more lively by the numerous individuals. Together, they expertly establish the tone and mood of the movie, which is mostly jovial, hilarious, and carefree.

The film's creators, Junglee Pictures, who are known for supporting innovative and ground-breaking movies like Raazi and Badhaai Ho, have made an effort to transport the viewer to a space that has never been explored in hindi cinema. Even a delicate subject like losing the manly touch, among other pertinent concerns that are explored in the second half, has been handled sensitively with well-written humour and situations that avoid slapstick at all costs. There is never an overdose since comedy has been employed in the perfect way. The effect is great even in sequences dealing with severe subjects, but the delivery and performances are always subdued and respectable.

What could have been a simple medical comedy evolves into a really likeable tale with a subtextual societal message. Together with the director Anubhuti Kashyap, the writers sumit Saxena, Saurabh Bharat, and vishal Wagh have made it a point to describe the story with a neutral look, which has aided in bringing in the proper aspects that make a movie fascinating.

Ayushmann Khurrana is a natural at his role; whether he is the troubled doctor on school attempting to deal with all of his female classmates, dealing the affairs of his heart, or discussing topics like "log kya kahenge" with his mother at home, he is absolutely convincing, humorous, and on target. He maintains control even as his persona changes. His performance is authentic and on par with some of his best earlier performances. Without drawing attention away from the movie's main dilemma, rakul preet singh skillfully demonstrates her acting prowess. She provides excellent emotional support for Ayushmann's character, guiding him through his low points and helping him shed his stereotypical views of men and women. With this movie, shefali shah continues her successful streak.

Each character in doctor G does their part to perfection, giving the narrative life. Visit a local theatre to see this now.
