Love Marriage review :
A musical rom com starring newbie Anil Kapoor and Meenakshi Seshadri; Love Marriage was directed by Mehul Kumar who achieved success later with his action packed patriotic dramas like Tirangaa (1993) and Krantiveer (1994). This was one of his initial movies and if rumours are to be believed, Anil wasn't particularly happy after seeing its rushes so he started giving preference to Yash Chopra's Mashaal (1984) instead. The producers saw red and gave an "impolite" ultimatum which made Anil and bro Boney reluctantly complete the film.
Anil and Meenu are actually unfortunate children of greedy rich parents who are on run after tying the knot against their papa's wishes. The film tries to infuse in humour in various situations these couple encounter. There is a Hyderabadi murgiyon ka doctor (Mehmood), an angrezon ke zamaane ka jailor (Asrani spoofing his Sholay (1975) character) and a counterfeit notes smuggler (Utpal Dutt) to tackle..
Not bad for a one time watch, Love Marriage didn't work wonders at the box office. It is largely forgotten today only because its main lead didn't have the guts and gumption to stand by his decision and promote it properly!!
