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!!.

I saw this on TV this morning, and was all sceptical that it can't seriously be good!

So I watched it abit and was hooked! Funny punchlines and it was just so different.

Alot of dancing and singing, but that just made it cooler.

So basicly, I liked this movie, and kinda shame that I didn't put it on tape. As I said earlier, funny and entartaining.

9/10

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.

I can't really make out why this film was made other than to cash in on the Akshay 'Khiladi' craze and to pair him (finally) with Juhi Chawla. The film has a bizarre charm to it, simultaneously sunny and silly and unapologetically illogical. Akshay gives a rare glimpse of a latent knack for comedy, but expectedly Juhi Chawla dominates the show with her patent (and now patented) perfect comic timing. Indian women are never expected to be funny, but Juhi gets all the respect in my book for being the reigning comic beauty of India. (Note to filmmakers: make more comedies with Juhi Chawla! And not just the ones where she has to share the screen with Shah Rukh Khan or Aamir Khan. Write her a great, classic comedy, a la Chaalbaaz!)
