    worst shaadi on the planet

    shaadi no 1 is a real bad movie. the most important point that makes it bad is the corniness. i mean, if the Indian audience found the lines hilarious, then they must get a reality check. i mean, even a third-grader would have difficulties in laughing at those lines. the only reason i was laughing in the theatre was because i was laughing at the actors but not with them.

    the acting too was pretty pathetic except sanjay dutt who did a decent job(although he got irritating in the second half). I also feel that sophie and riya sen must get some acting lessons.

    i give this movie a 0.25/100. an advise, don't watch this movie at all.

    a fun movie

    I thought that Shaadi No.1 was a fun movie to watch. I saw this movie after I saw No Entry and they were very similar, but it's definitely a sure time-pass!

    Acting: Sanjay Dutt was OK, but he overacted and "missiles" and his Punjabi accent get very annoying after about 10 minutes.Fardeen Khan was fine in his role and justified it, but I didn't think he was that great with the comedy.Zayed Khan was the best overall in the movie and I think he did very well with the comedy. He also dances so well! I really did enjoy his performance in the movie, and he was definitely my favorite to watch.Sharman Joshi- I don't really know why but he kind of annoyed me in the film. He also justified his role.

    The wives(Ayesha Takia, Esha Doel, & Soha Ali Khan): they didn't get much scope, but they were fine in their roles. I think the best was Ayesha Takia. The girlfriends (Aarti Chabaaria, Sophie Choudhary, & Riya Sen): They also didn't get much scope, but they fulfilled their roles. I would say the best was Aarti Chabaaria.

    Songs: They were all very good, they had nice lyrics, and they were choreographed well.

    It was fun to watch and I completely enjoyed it

    Funny movie, lots of insider jokes

    The best thing I liked about the film was the many references to other films. Lucky's "misaals" are mostly nods to well known lines from past films, Munnabhai, Sholay, etc.

    The "misaals" are impossible to translate, and will make no sense to viewers who had no exposure to the cultural references contained in it. Perhaps this is one reason IMDb users rate it so low.

    I found the film enjoyable. The scripted dialogue is very clever and quite funny. On a second viewing, I got a lot more of the jokes and cultural references. Most comedies do not warrant a second viewing, but this one improved with it.

    Loads of sexy actresses but Poor movie

    I was looking forward to watching this movie as the trailers looked good. It is directed by David Dhawan, who has given us a couple of entertaining movies in the past. Shaadi No. 1 has an incredibly large cast of actors and looked like a Hit. A lousy script about 3 guys who want to commit suicide because there not happy with married life (how realistic and funny). They suddenly make a deal with a man to fall in love with his spoilt daughters and dump them. After many appalling flirting techniques, they manage to romance these childish girls. Suddenaly, a stranger comes and tells them he knows about their affairs, and he will tell their wives. It then follows into cheap comedy, that doesn't make you laugh a single bit. Sanjay Dutt is the stranger, why did a Great actor like him make this pathetic movie. Fardeen Khan has given us some good films, but he seems to be making worser movie over and over again. Sharman Joshi was funny in style and maybe the least annoying character in the movie. Zayed Khan gives us another Flop movie, remember (Main Hoon Na = Anybody that makes a Shahrukh Khan film have a big advantage). Esha Deol and Soha Ali Khan give dreadful performances in annoying roles. Ayesha Takia looks sexy as ever and is incredibly cute with the sweetest smile, but her looks couldn't save the film. Riya Sen is another sex bomb, that couldn't save the film. Introducing singer Sophie in a unimpressive role. Finally Aarti Chabria who looks pretty but her acting once again was poor. I would of given this a 0/10, but because of the girls a 2/10. Out of all the girls, i would love to have a three some with Riya Sen and Aarti Chabria. Their is a song in this film Zara zara where Ayesha Takia shows her melon curves, wow i would love to suck them melons.

    Whatz up with DD?

    DD earlier made remarkable comedies though illogical yet funny

    This is a weird film by him, he tried the MASTI formula and brought an identical story of 3 guys who hav 3 wives and search for love outside even the characters are similar

    The comedy scenes are so cringe worthy, it looks like we are watching a stage play, the dialogues too are damn stage like

    The spiderman jokes are so bizarre while the Sanju angle and all other stuff is contrived

    The ending is the worst part of the film

    Direction by DD is bad Music is ordinary

    Camera-work is only saving grace

    Amongst actors Fardeen Khan and Zayed Khan shout too loud and act artificially mostly Sharman excels in his part, though this isn't a patch of his best works Amongst girls Esha overacts, Ayesha is just there and the rest are all bad Sanjay is plain horrible, he hams it up badly
