Judaai

It definitely delivers many messages. It's about a women who for greed of money divorces her husband. She then learns her lessons gradually. This is the main plot. It points towards an impeccable metaphor regarding the commercialisation of thoughts and ideas. Humanity is being divided into 2 groups who values their destination either materially or immaterially. Then gradually lessons are understood. 7/10 only for this plus Sridevi's flawless performance.

Apart from that the funny scenes should have been a little less. It's boring to see lengthy funny scenes. Otherwise it was good. The movie could have been better in its story telling. The characters are justified well including Jahnvi. She is an American girl with easy adaptable nature. She leaves him with his first wife so that they could live together again. She takes Raj unborn child with her as a symbol of their love. She is shown to be non traditional in her real life which seems right. Others are well portrayed just like family reunion again.

Really speaking Bollywood needs this type of content in movies but they seem to have been disappeared. Aa ab laut chalen was another movie of this sort. Both of these movies have been unpopular.

NOTE-- Skip the songs and funny scenes to get a good experience from this movie. A 68/100 for entirety.

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!

Judaai is not bad at all for what it is - a typical Hindi movie. I actually saw it back in the day but I just re-watched it, and thought it deserved a good review.

The story is quite interesting, albeit a little over the top. The acting from Sridevi and Urmila is very good. The part Sridevi plays is a tough one but she holds up amazingly well. Urmila's role is more generic but her acting is still worth mentioning. Anil Kapoor does OK. There are a good number of side actors, mostly comedians, who do a good job as well. The soundtrack isn't bad overall even though I only really liked two of the songs. Finally, I thought the dialog was very good, almost unexpectedly so.

If you enjoy Hindi movies from the 90s this is a shoe in.

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...

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.
