Shaadi No. 1

a screwball comedy which is mildly amusing. "lucky" is the catalyst & very irritating. the editing is overdone. many variations on what can go wrong. both the wives & the girlfriends are total babes. the music is OK & the editing style is overly influenced by MTV with tons of quick edits, which is distracting & very unnecessary. the film goes on way too long, even by Indian standards. the opener is rather unusual, with the 3 men, all buddies attempting suicide by 3 different methods & failing in stupid manners. they then meet their future boss who also in trying to end it all & save him. they save his bacon & he hires them which then leads to the plot complication of his 3 daughters, who have been abroad & no longer respecting traditional values

shaadi no 1 is a real bad movie. the most important point that makes it bad is the corniness. i mean, if the Indian audience found the lines hilarious, then they must get a reality check. i mean, even a third-grader would have difficulties in laughing at those lines. the only reason i was laughing in the theatre was because i was laughing at the actors but not with them.

the acting too was pretty pathetic except sanjay dutt who did a decent job(although he got irritating in the second half). I also feel that sophie and riya sen must get some acting lessons.

i give this movie a 0.25/100. an advise, don't watch this movie at all.

The best thing I liked about the film was the many references to other films. Lucky's "misaals" are mostly nods to well known lines from past films, Munnabhai, Sholay, etc.

The "misaals" are impossible to translate, and will make no sense to viewers who had no exposure to the cultural references contained in it. Perhaps this is one reason IMDb users rate it so low.

I found the film enjoyable. The scripted dialogue is very clever and quite funny. On a second viewing, I got a lot more of the jokes and cultural references. Most comedies do not warrant a second viewing, but this one improved with it.

one word describes this film "rubbish" if you've got a couple of hours to kill, please do something else rather than watch this sad excuse for a screwball comedy.

There's no plot to the "film", Sanjay Dutt's character is extremely annoying far more than the Aussie chap in Salaam Namaste.

I came away with a bitter taste after having watched this, surely the actors read the script before even agreeing to appear in this film? Forget get "straight from Cinema to DVD" It should be straight from cinema to the dump.

Totally unforgettable rubbish.

I have no words to describe my experience! It's awful, cheap, boring, clichéd comedy (was it really comedy??)! In my opinion, 2005 has been a wonderful movie year for Bollywood with many good movies! But this one is a shame on this year! This movie probably belonged to 1980's, a tasteless decade in Indian cinema! In some news, I read Shaadi No 1 is last of David Dhawan's comedy! If that is really true (and not a publicity gimmick), I'll be the happiest!

I have never seen such bad acting in recent times! Script, Screenplay, Music, Direction, Cinematography... if there is a filmfare award for worst movies, this movie will get at least a dozen award !
