Mr. & Mrs. Khiladi

Total comedy movie, awesome stuff to watch back in the days

Mr and Mrs Khiladi review :

Two David Dhawan movies clashed on same day - Deewana Mastana and Mr and Mrs Khiladi. While Deewana Mastana fared better mainly due to Govinda's clap worthy histrionics, Mr and Mrs Khiladi was also a decent earner at the box office.

Unlike Akshay's earlier action films in the Khiladi franchise, this one was an out and out comedy with Akshay and Juhi Chawla in lead roles and Kader Khan and Paresh Rawal providing able comic support. In fact, Paresh Rawal frequently breaks the fourth wall to talk to the audience quite like Ashok Kumar Saahab in the popular '80s TV serial Hum Log.

Akshay and Juhi shared an awesome chemistry on screen. Akshay's fight with a Sumo wrestler was much publicised as the film's highlight but unlike his earlier encounter with Undertaker in Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi (1996), this one turned out to be quite pheeka!!.

When Raja and his Mama were at the gym, Vicky was trying to rape Shalu while everyone was just watching. Raja was not allowed to fight with anyone before 12 am. So, he sees everything for two minutes, and just when clock ticked 12, he beats Vicky and partners alone. This single scene defines the film, which can be described at best as plain stupidity.

Story: Raja(Akshay Kumar) trusts his luck that he is destined to become a king(i.e, rich) and he doesn't even need to work before that. Chanda Mama(Satish Kaushik) is the one who made him believe so. Shaalu(Juhi Chawla), for some reason, wants to marry this idiot but her father Badri Prasad(Kader Khan) wants a hard working man as his son-in-law. On other hand, Chanda mama advices Raja to stay away from girls. Will Shaalu be able to convince her father, Raja and Chanda Mama?

I don't feel that a film has to be completely logical but this one is devoid of any. The actions of all the characters at every time are plain stupid. No girl will ever love a boy who is hostile towards everyone, treats her father badly and is so rude. The story gets more stupid as it progresses. Both of them were taking marriage very lightly. The way he gets money is stupid, and so is the ending.

The songs not good enough, and are distracting. A special mention for, "Jab tak rahega samose mein aloo",like what they were upto. Who wrote the lyrics?

I used to enjoy it as a kid. So, it's my personal bias which kept me from giving it the lowest possible score. Or maybe because the meassage they wanted to convey is good.

It's a pure comedy movie, not like nowadays comedy movies filled with double meaning dialogue and jokes.

Really liked akshay-kader khan comedy combo.

The music and songs of the movie were horrible.

Just a few months ago, I watched Mr. & Mrs Khiladi for the first time. I remember staying up way past midnight just so I could watch this movie and let me tell you; I enjoyed each and every minute of it! Mr. & Mrs. Khiladi is about a jobless man named Raja (Akshay Kumar) who blindly believes in astrology. His uncle, who is an astrologer tells him that within one year he will become king, so Raja decides to sit back and live the easy life until he becomes king. He then happens to fall in love with Shalu (Juhi Chawla) who is from a very rich and wealthy family. The two of them decide to get married, but Shalu's dad won't allow the marriage to take place unless Raja accumulates a sum of one lakh rupees.It is so hilarious to see how Raja earns the one lakh rupees!

As for the acting, both Juhi Chawla and Akshay Kumar delivered brilliant comical performances! The film has so many scenes that will leave you literally rolling to the floor! I absolutely LOVED the scene where Juhi was taking her dad for a spin and was purposely crashing into everything in the car's path. She ran into all sorts of stuff and even crashed into Johnny Lever, who played a bandaged patient in the street. With Johnny on top of the car, Juhi went off this ramp-like thing and the car was flying in the air until it landed on top of this parked car which belonged to a bunch of midgets, it was so funny! Another good scene was the one where Akshay Kumar had to fight this gigantic sumo wrestler, it was funny and disgusting at the same time!

Moving on to the music, I loved all the songs but my two favorites from this film would have to be "Samose Mein Aloo" and "Jumme Ke Jumme."

If you haven't seen this film yet, you should do so as soon as possible. It's great fun to watch and you'll be laughing all the way! Not only that, but once you see it you'll be hooked on it and you will want to watch it over and over again!

Mr. & Mrs. Khiladi deserves a 10/10!!!
