Filmy Friday: As Jai Mummy Di releases today, let's check out 5 films, which show bickering relation between in-laws

Cast: Sunny Singh, Sonnalli Seygall, Poonam Dhillon, Supriya Pathak

Jai Mummy Di should come as a lesson to producer Luv Ranjan. The director, who has given us films such as Pyaar Ka Punchnama films and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, needs to accept that there is this much of a certain kind of cinema that audience can take. His latest production Jai Mummy Di, written and directed by debutant Navjot Gulati, is a classic case of being there, done that.

The film, starring Sunny Singh, Sonnalli Seygall, Poonam Dhillon and Supriya Pathak, tests your patience without bothering to offer you anything substantial or novel in terms of story or the characters. Jai Mummy Di is pointless – the result of abysmal direction, half-baked characters and wasted efforts of a talented cast.

Jai Mummy Di, a modern rom-com, or mom-com if you will, has two neighbours Khannas and Bhallas in a constant state of strife due to the warring moms -- (Poonam Dhillon aka Gabbar and Supriya Pathak aka Mogambo). However, their children Puneet aka Punnu (Sunny Singh) and Saanjh (Sonnalli Seygall) are high school sweethearts who can’t keep their hands off each other. Afraid of their moms, they pretend to be enemies over the weekends. Then there are helpless fathers, irritating relatives and a whole lot of Punjabi weddings.
