Shaadi Se Pehle

This movie is total nonsense. But sometimes total nonsense works. All the characters are acting so dumb that I wonder at the end all will say, hey it was all a plot to fool the hero.

Plot outline is this. Ashish (Akshayee Khanna) from doing window cleaning, selling malish on road became creative director in ad agency earning multi millions so that his sweethearts(Ayesha Takia) father agrees to give his daughter.

After engagement, he overhears his doctor on phone mentioning that his young patient has cancer. And so he tries all bad things so that his fiancée hates him, including an affair with a model Sonia (Mallika Sherawat). Anyway Sonia has a brother Anna(Sunil Shetty) who lives in Malaysia and is a big don. Anna's pet dialogue is "Anna, Choubish ghanta chakanna" (Anna is alert all 24 hours).

Now Ashish can't escape the clutches of Anna even if he wants to get back to Ayesha.

The movie is so stupid that you just relax. Somehow, this feels better than forced comedy like "malamal weekly". Akshayee Khanna does a great job here as usual. He is one of the most natural actors and comedy suits him well. Surprisingly Mallika does a good job. Sunil Shetty(Anna) had a good time too.

Bollywood sucks the big one. It's like a malfunctioning machine that keeps spitting out these ridiculous musical romantic comedies, that always end the same way, have generally the same plot, same characters, and same music. They're not original, or brilliant in anyway whatsoever. It's like they don't realize it's bad and they keep wasting money on the same crap. Of course it does appeal to Indians, because these are their films, but I mean can't you at least come up with something better. I mean Bollywood comes out with more movies than Hollywood every year, and they seem to only generally get attention in India, and even in India, International films seem to be more popular than their own (judging by their box office results)I am not a racist in any way whatsoever, in fact I have at least 7 friends who were born in India and came to America during their childhood. I am just a harsh critic, and I certainly hope some writer, or producer finds this and realizes that a change is in need, and not all films have to be musical comedies where a girl and guy serenade each other throughout the film. THERE IS OTHER MATERIAL OUT THERE AND India IS A VERY INSPIRATIONAL COUNTRY!

I like Akshay Khanna. Thas was the only reason i decided to watch this film and i'm happy i did. "Shaadi Se Pehle" was a very pleasant surprise, and i usually don't like these kind of mindless comedy's. But the story is pretty original and unoriginal at the same time. A couple of jokes in the film are really hilarious, almost as if the great, late Mehmood himself wrote the script.

Akshay Khanna is very good as usual. Although the wig he's wearing makes him look a little gay. Sunil Shetty is really a comedy actor, he should lay of the action flicks altogether. The two female leads look very pretty and do a OK job. Aftaab Shivdasani's acting was below average. I loved the special appearance by Gulshan Grover, him doing kind of a parody of his earlier "bad man"-character, though i'm not so sure if it was intentional or not.

The songs are time-pass only. They should have cut of at least two of the songs and make the film a little shorter.

7/10.. After Malamaal Weekly, this is the best Hindi comedy of the year so far!

Well, I may be wrong, but I thought this movie was throughout trying to make spoofs of films like Kal Ho Naa Ho and Bollywood in general. It was good at times with some really funny parts. For example, Suniel Shetty's character was especially hilarious as it brought out the emotional side of a big mafia don. However, as the movie progressed, the spoofs became less evident, and Shadi Se Pehle just turned into the movie it was spoofing in the first place. Songs were good. Everyone--Aftab, Ayesha, Mallika, Suniel, and Akshaye--gave awesome, hilarious performances! Plus, the young, vivacious cast added freshness to the film. Comedy is not top-of-the-line, but all in all, Shadi Se Pehle is a decent time-pass.

Well well well Satish Kaushik is one of the funniest actors on Hindi screen at least in some films he was damn hilarious though he got annoying later-on

As a director he made social dramas like HUM AAPKE DIL MEIN REHTE HAI The recent hit TERE NAAM and some good films Comedy is considered one of his liabilities in his directed films be it HUM AAPKE DIL MEIN REHTE HAI and HAMARA DIL AAPKE PAAS HAI In TERE NAAM it was good but in this film he tries to make a complete comedy and ends up making a poor cousin of David DHAWAN films

The film starts quite well but suddenly becomes a sad caricatured over the top bullshit comedy

In short, Imagine a plot less film with comedy so forced and childish that it makes Govinda films classics?

Imagine a film where Akshaye Khanna is hamming like a clown??????? Imagine a film where he wears the worst co loured clothes which make Govinda's clothes a style statement? Imagine a film where Aftab just comes and goes and you forget him? Imagine a film where Malika and Ayesha get to your nerves with their too bold and fake attitude and simple roles and fake acting respectively?

Imagine a film where actors think making funny faces is being funny?

Some funny one- liners can make a good comedy?????

Overall a disaster barring some Suneil Shetty portions and his few lines the film is unbearable Suneil does manage to make you laugh with his Bhaigiri but that isn't much
