Judwaa

Judwaa directed by Salman Khan was released on Feb 13, 1997. I was there in India at that time. The film went on to do well at the box-office reportedly bringing in 2.1 crores rupees per territory. In many ways Judwaa gave Salman a second shot at super stardom. Before Judwaa there was Hum Aapke Hain Koun but that did more for Madhuri Dixit then Salman Khan. Before Judwaa Salman had done a number of films that failed miserably at the box office and cast a shadow over his career but Judwaa changed all that.

Judwaa is Salman Khan's first film in which he has done two roles. He is also the first among his contemporaries Amir and Shah Rukh. The plot is quiet simple. Two twin borthers separated at birth reunite after a chain of hillarious events. Both the twins can "feel" one another.



Salman has shown considerable flair for comedy in this film. The credit must also go to the director David Dhawan. Incidently Mr. Dhawan has been after Salman to do a film for him. The two later collaborated on another super hit Biwi No1.

The music for Judwaa is by Anu Malik. The style and the numbers definitely suit Salman's personality. The two heroines are simply gorgeous to look at but Rambha could use a few acting lessons.

Judwaa is fun film to watch though the plot is very similiar to a Jackie Chan movie Twin Brothers and loosely adopted from the telgu hit Hello Brother starring Nagarjuna. This movie will be most enjoyable to Salman Khan Fan.

Judwaa is a plant surprise.Direction is not bad.Script is good.Story is good.It opens when a lady gives birth to twins.When they are born the nurse says that one has a bandage.Soon they get separated.One is with them.The other is in a railway track and has no one.The twist in the tale is whenever one of the child does something like fighting,kissing or eating the other twin does the same. .Cinematography is pleasant.Songs are loud and forgettable.Chereography is terrible.Background score was irritating.Anupham Kher and Satish Shah were very much annoying and could have been deleted.Karishma delivers a dreadful performance as Mala.Kader was annoying.The lady which played Rajas sister was barley wasted.The man which played Tiger was very irritating.Rambha was okay but acted better than Karishma.The movie belongs to Salman who gives a great perfromance wven though he is in his regular overacting self he has done well.The movie is a watch but just forward the songs

I love the comedy in this movie, even though some scenes are really Bollywood non-sense. But saw a Jackie Chan movie today - The Twin Towers, and boy oh boy, Judwaa is really inspired by The Twin Towers, if not just a copy. Salman is pretty good, but some of his fight scenes don't look real at all. At least Jackie looks like he can fight. Shakti Kapoor is funny. Karishma & Rambha just do their job by dancing around. Nice movie for Salman lovers though since there is double-dose of him. Sadly, another likable movie that is not a Bollywood original. But I would surely watch Judwaa for its funny scenes. And oh ya, how could I forget. If you want to hear Anu Malik's funny voice singing some really funny lyrics, this is the movie - just listen to Oonchi Hain Building, Lift Teri Band Hai :D.

Salman Khan plays twins (Raja and Prem) that were separated at birth. Prem is raised by his parents in America, and becomes a singer. Raja is raised as an orphan and becomes a thief. When Prem and his parents return to India, confusion abounds affecting the two men, their girlfriends (played by Karisma Kapoor and Rambha), the police, and even the local crime lord.

This is a silly film, but cute. The plot is predictable, but Khan's dual roles are enjoyable to watch. Some of the songs are catchy and most of the choreography is good as well. Overall, it's good fun, though not exceptional.

I miss this genre of movies from the 1990s which used to be pure entertainment. This is a remake/inspired from Jackie Chan's 'Twin Towers' but a good remake with all the masalas. Salman Khan was the show stealer along with Karishma Kapoor who shred her earlier image to don a more glamorous look in Judwaa. The songs were great and are still catchy after 20 years. Look forward to the sequel and hope Varun Dhawan doesn't disappoint.
