Nakhrewaalii Review: Romantic Comedy Explores Gender Roles Through Cross-Dressing Plot
Nakhrewaalii is a romantic comedy set in Uttar Pradesh and Delhi, following Sumit Mishra, who cross-dresses to secure a government job and win his love, Paridhi. The film explores themes of gender stereotypes, patriarchal biases, and societal expectations through humor and mistaken identities. While performances by Ansh Duggal and Pragati Srivastava are praised, critics note the story relies on familiar tropes and occasional inconsistencies, balancing lighthearted moments with social commentary.
