        Great entertainment value

        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!

        Watch it for Sridevi's amazing performance and songs

        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.

        nice movie, about money and marriage

        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...

        Good film sidelined by over-the-top attempts at comedy.

        As much as I would like to, I cannot recommend Judaai to my friends unless they did not mind fast forwarding whenever Johnny Lever shows up. The story line to Judaai is fascinating, production values are top notch, songs are good, and, as always, Sridevi, Anil, and Urmila are at the top of their form. All other serious supporting roles are good. Then there is the comedy if that is what you want to call it. It frequently brought the plot to a screeching halt and, after the first hour of the film, I almost gave up but decided on fast forwarding the rest of the comedy sections which I should have done earlier. I enjoyed the comedy in Dil Chahta Hai and Awara Paagal Deewana and even like the Johnny Lever characters in Tera Jadoo Chal Gaya and Sirf Tum, but cringed every time Johnny Lever et. al showed up in this film. I gave the film a 6 only because the comedy sequences were so irritating and lengthy. Had the film just focused on the drama and inserted comedy about Sridevi's new found wealth, I would have given it a 9.

        Strong story but need improvement!

        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.
