A coming-of-age comedy-drama set at a medical institution, Doctor G is a campus comedy. The movie also stars Sheeba Chaddha. She is the mother of Ayushmann. Anubhuti Kashyap is the film’s director, and she co-wrote the script with Sumit Saxena, Saurabh Bharat, and Vishal Wagh.
Many critics gave the movie mixed reviews. The movie’s review in the Hindustan Times stated: “Doctor G might have been a lot better picture. However, when one considers the first half, one realises that it could have been lot worse. In the end, it will appeal to viewers as a mediocre coming-of-age social drama. While trying to provide clean humour, it succeeds to avoid being preachy. However, there are some cringe-worthy moments. The performers, who give a stale screenplay new vitality, are what salvage it. Go watch it, if nothing else, for them!
Before the movie’s release, Shefali Shah remarked in a behind-the-scenes video released on Instagram, “It’s always thrilling. When I was younger, I wanted to be a neurosurgeon or a doctor, but life had other ideas and I wasn’t ready to start studying physics. It’s very great writing, with a delicate, lovely, and engaging theme, and it’s quite amusing, she continued.
