Badrinath Ki Dulhania (transl.Badrinath's Bride) is a 2017 Indian romantic comedy film written and directed by Shashank Khaitan and produced by Dharma Productions. A spiritual successor to Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014), the film stars Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt.[3][4] It follows the story of an aspiring independent air hostess from a small town who refuses to conform to the patriarchal expectations of her chauvinistic fiancé.

It is the second installment of the Dulhania franchise. Principal photography commenced in May 2016 and took place in Panvel, Singapore, and Kota. The film was theatrically released in India on 10 March 2017 during the Holi weekend and became a financial success, earning over ₹200.45 crores worldwide.[5][6]

At the 63rd Filmfare Awards, Badrinath Ki Dulhania received 8 nominations, including Best Film, Best Director (Khaitan), Best Actor (Dhawan) and Best Actress (Bhatt), and won Best Male Playback Singer (Arijit Singh for "Roke Na Ruke Naina").[7]
