Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer Doctor G review: Largely watchable

Doctor G is a film with two diametrically opposite halves.

The first is a cringefest, laden with jokes that don’t land, stereotypical characters.

Then, post-interval, the film transforms into a heartwarming coming-of-age drama.

Despite the jarring nature of the film, it remains watchable (largely) due to the actor's performances.

The film is about a small town guy, stuck in a situation that society considers unusual.
