    Childhood Nostalgia

    In childhood, whenever this movie used to come on TV, I never missed it. The way Salman Khan has portrayed the character of Prem and Raja on screen is damn good and it is very fun to watch. Salman Khan's chemistry with Karishma and Rambha is also worth to watch! And what to say about the dance numbers, they are classics.

    Great Entertainer form the 90s

    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.

    Good Fun

    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.

    Likable movie, but just found out that it is another copy

    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.
