Doctor G is another entertaining film from Ayushmann Khurrana and Junglee Pictures, who are renowned for creating the most original entertainment with subtly political social commentary. The name Ayushmann Khurrana has evolved into a genre unto itself. His movies have always been well-received as family entertainment, such as Vicky Donor, about being a sperm donor, and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, about dealing with erectile dysfunction. This time, Ayushmann plays a male gynaecologist in his next film, Doctor G, which has obtained an A classification and is advised for viewers aged 18 and up, which is a first for Ayushmann.

The story of the ambitious orthopaedic surgeon (Ayushmann Khurrana) Doctor G follows his trip into the gynaecology department, where, as the lone male in a female-dominated field, he faces a comical fight to fit in. The movie claims to highlight the events based on real life in a hilarious way while adhering to the values of the medical college and a journey toward becoming a doctor as seen in the trailer.

Following the pandemic, viewers, in particular young adults, have been exposed to real, uncut, and daring content thanks to OTT services. It is only fair that spectators receive the same experience on the big screen in this day and age where such content is easily accessible. In order to provide a picture that is high on humour and in a narrative that is meant to be watched in its truest form, Junglee Pictures and Ayushmann Khurrana made the decision to not change the film and take the "A" certification.

Amrita Pandey, CEO of Junglee Pictures, in a statement, said that the movie is daring, and high on entertainment while quietly breaking preconceptions as one may expect from a typical Ayushmann Khurrana picture. It is a film for young adults who are exposed to strong yet sensitive and humorous content, even though it lacks any explicit material, and they can, of course, watch it with their families. Because of being under two hours, Doctor G will be appealing and refreshing because there were no proposed edits, and they can show the movie exactly as is in theatres.

Anubhuti Kashyap, the director, stated that Doctor G is a delightful comedy-drama that is clutter-busting and will be a refreshing viewing for the audience amid all the action, thriller, and fantasy-led movies that have been released recently. The trailer has been highly received, and it only gives viewers a taste of the humour and enjoyment the movie will have. She is happy that everyone can watch the entire movie since it will stay with them for a very long time.

They can tell from the recently released and highly discussed trailer that the subject of the movie is bold yet universal in character and will be embraced by the general public. Given that the movie has an "A" certificate now, seeing it with friends would be enjoyable.

Written by Vishal Wagh, Sumit Saxena, Saurabh Bharat, and Anubhuti Kashyap and directed by Anubhuti Kashyap. On October 14, Doctor G will be released in theatres.
