Doctor G

Doctor G is director Anubhuti Kashyap's feature debut; she's the sister of director Anurag Kashyap and had previously worked as an assistant director on his films. The film is a medical comedy drama about a student who accidentally becomes a gynecologist after wanting to study orthopedics (Ayushmann Khurrana); it opened on October 14, 2022, earning 150.3 million rupees on its opening weekend, with a worldwide gross exceeding 400 million rupees. Ayushmann Khurrana is known for films tackling taboo subjects, sperm donation (Vicky Donor), erectile dysfunction (Shubh Mangal Saavdhan), and social prejudice against baldness (Bala); Doctor G fits that pattern with its male gynecologist premise. Who it's for: anyone curious about an Indian comedy drama continuing an actor's career long pattern of tackling taboo subjects, in a director's feature debut. Who it's not for: viewers wanting a serious, purely dramatic medical film, since this handles its subject through comedy.
