this film was a hit when it was released.....it was actually inspired from boney kapoor and sridevi's marriage, with a switch of roles... basically, sridevi plays an average girl, who hates living in a poor society and dreams of becoming rich. Her husband, the honest-hardworking Anil, is an engineer yet is quite poor. His honesty is greatly appreciated by Urmila, his boss's niece. Urmila falls for Anil, and on discoving Sridevi's passion for money, offers Sridevi 2 crore ruppes if Urmila could marry Anil. After some life-death convincing, Ail agrees.
So, now, all live in a big house, but soon sridevi learns the value of her husband......
it's a nioce movie, watch it...

Though the plot is predictable and simple. But Sridevi's acting was great. Anil and Urmila we're good too. Though story was not that good but 8 stars for Sridevi. Songs are good too.
Judaai a serious family drama with romance and comedy. In short cut, this movie is about a Girl who loves a married man with kids so much, she makes the wife an offer. The offer is that she becomes the second wife, they live happily and the first wife gets 2 crore (Million). The offer gets accepted after a few incidents. What follows is a little serious scenes and a few comedy scenes. Anil Kapoor gives a great performance, but his character is so stingy. He works as an engineer with decent wages, but doesn't buy basic household things including a Television. This is not realistic, this kind of character must be a bore. But, the director has managed to make him look like a Great fellow, no one but me is complaining (and his first wife). Sridevi (Anil's real life sister in law) plays his first wife who adores money and reputation. Sridevi is one of my old time favourites and delivers a Brilliant performance. She should of received Best actress rather then the pathetic Karishma Kapoor in Raja Hindustani that year, famous for bribing awards. Urmila is a talented actress in a good performance. We have Three Great comedians in Superb roles including Kader Khan, Paresh Rawail and Johnny Lever. This is worth the watch.
First of all I totally agree with the comment given by the user Dave Abott. This is one of the best bollywood movie ever. It teaches how greed eats ones happiness. it also teaches how one should spend money carefully and how badly it effects when it is spent wastefully. But unfortunately half of the movie was filled with unnecessary comedies. By deducting the unnecessary comedies this should have more dramas relating to greed. This movie could have been the "LEGEND OF BOLLYWOOD" if it would had done that way. Especially, the acting of Sridevi who was perfect for the role of a greedy woman and Anil kapoor who was perfect for the role of a thrifty person and a loving husband. All and all I think this movie should have had some MORE family dramas rather than unnecessary comedies.
For viewers looking for a somewhat traditional Bollywood movie, I would not hesitate to recommend this movie. Viewers do need to keep their expectations in check as there are some aspects that may seem unrealistic. The main plot is also rather dragged out but the various sub plots involving the comedians do add humour and good entertainment value.
Sridevi plays the role exceptionally well and it is difficult to see anyone any actress playing this role as well as she does. She naturally adds humour to the character and towards the end acts the role of a desperate wife rather well. Urmila and Anil Kapoor also play their roles well.
The movie is a standard 3 hour watch, but time quickly flies by and the soundtrack is rather catchy. Overall this is a must watch!
