The direction from Dhawan is very good because he allows the facial expressions to be seen to a strong effect throughout, while also keeping a mostly pleasant but sometimes-atmosphere happening as well and the script is written to a decent standard by as he makes the movie good to follow. Keep an eye out for Amitabh Bachchan who makes a guest appearance as himself and for Saif Ali Khan who makes a special appearance as Deepak. Lakhan is the man who is good friends with Prem and Pooja and also provides the most humour available, while Prem is Pooja’s husband who has been up to no good. She suits her role very well and makes the most of the time she has on the screen.Įlsewhere, there are decent performances to be had from Anil Kapoor and Salman Khan in their respective parts as Lakhan and Prem. Karisma Kapoor gives a very good performance in her part as Pooja, the woman who acts like she is determined to get back together with her husband, despite what he has been up to. The story concerns a woman (Karisma Kapoor) who attempts to win back her husband (Salman Khan) when she finds out he's possessing a model for a lover. Starring Karisma Kapoor, Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor and Sushmita Sen. Maybe I enjoyed it in the same way I enjoy fashion magazines - laugh-and-point brain candy.David Dhawan’s romantic comedy-drama about a housewife who finds out that her husband is cheating on her.

I enjoyed the whole movie with a smug sense of knowing full well how crappy it would be and being proven correct. I enjoyed Amitabh in his cameo mired in paterfamilias celebrity. I enjoyed Tabu, Anil, and Saif trying to make the best of muck. I enjoyed being outraged at the insulting implications about what wives should suffer through for horrible husbands. I enjoyed laughing at the stagy 90s gear. The first is better in Monsoon Wedding, and if the latter two were online anywhere, I'd say don't even bother with the movie.īut you know what? I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it. Among the clapping and shouting, Karisma is dressed to kill, phasers set on still-straying Salman, and Anil is dressed like this. Second, there's "Mehboob Mere," a fun-sounding song in which Tabu and Anil dance around Switzerland with a fleet of backup dancers in a variety of folkloric regalia, winter gloves and boots, and weird 90s fashions.Īnd finally, "Hai Hai Mirchi," which I cannot for the life of me explain why I like. First, "Chunari Chunari," which I already knew and loved from Monsoon Wedding. 1 is saved from the dustbin of "avoid, yaar!" by three songs. Now I've expanded that a bit to include singable song or danceable dance, and Biwi No.

Way to go, Tiger! Way to behave better than any of your human owners!īefore I started watching Bollywood, I discovered that no movie (or book or tv show) was a complete waste of time if it gave you a quotable quote. At least Tiger, the family dog, is on hand to help, preventing Sushmita from completing her Karva Chauth rituals for the philandering Salman.
The rest of the cast, though.poor things. Sushmita Sen inexplicably won four awards for her performance here, but I don't have anything nice to say about her either. Neither is exceptional in any way, and they have nothing to work with. They do the kinds of thing you expect them to do in late 1990s movies. Brain-dead dishrag and jerk? Coming right up!
Only a brain-dead dishrag would take this jerk back. While there may be situations in real life in which forgiveness may be a good idea, it's a different story when actions, motives, and emotions are as broad as in Biwi No. Children, other relatives, sex appeal, and business profit can all be used to try to woo your husband back from a money-grubbing model.
Its message - or plot points, if you prefer not to give it credit for having a message - is that cheated-on spouses should use whatever means necessary to win back their wayward partners and then forgive them. Why is anyone in this movie? It's so stupid. "Why am I playing myself in this movie, lending my star power and gravitas to this piece of crap? Didn't I have anything better to do?Īnd why did I start doing the black hair white beard thing? I look just fine like this, here at Parents' Day, about to listen to two very annoying movie children in a song so schmaltzy Beth will FF through it." "I know I have my moments of slumming it, but why am I in this movie?"
