Ryu Soo Yeol really is the character of all time. He’s a dirty cop. He’s a househusband. He’s a mama’s boy. He does stupid club dances. He has a vigilante inside his head. He’s a sub. He’s adopted. He’s allergic to his own shirt buttons. He broke out of a mental hospital. He has homoerotic tension with both his own alter and his childhood nemesis. He’s pathetic. He’s a badass. He’s sleep-deprived. He’s traumatized. He’s played by Lee Dong Wook. He lives in my brain rent-free and always will.

it was a huge problem back in the day that you had to be constantly vigilant about getting sent on fake business trips that are actually an elaborate excuse to lock you in a vampire castle

my favourite thing about badhaai do is shardul being. Straight up offended that he got called bisexual. Bc like it doesn't read as contempt at all. It's more like he's so aggressively gay he's offended at the idea of being anything but gay. The homosexualest.

gay/lesbian hostility is my favourite thing to see actually

The scene that really really got me was Shardul calling Sumi to say that he had done it, he had told his family, and the way they both shared that moment, in near silence because they were hardly able to speak, each breaking down crying. And it was everything, it was the pain, the joy, the culmination of so much built up tension and repression, the release.

I don't think I've ever actually seen a film show catharsis like this, so well so earned so intimate, and so moving.

I loved the symbolism of masks in Badhaai Do. 

First, when Shardul is on duty watching a symbolic gay wedding procession, he calls over a dancing, masked man and asks him if he wears a mask because he’s ashamed to show his face. The man pulls off the mask, clearly not ashamed at all. Shardul was initially interpreting the mask in a way that a lot of people do, as a way to hide your identity and/or become somebody else, play a character, etc. 

But at the end of the movie the message of the mask changes for Shardul. When he puts one on during the parade, the mask becomes a symbol of him openly accepting and showing who he is instead of hiding it.
