    Good comic Moments

    Let me tell you first the story line is old, and hence the movie was not a hit. But its one of my favorite movie Ever, Bcoz 1st half is a good comic one, specially the scenes of Lucky(Menon) and Anil too do a good job as a Comedian, then we have Ghummar Singh(none other than Kader Khan) as a Singer, few awesome jokes, good direction, everything is right in 1st half, it makes u laugh a lot. A complete family entertainment. 2nd half is again a good one but not as comic as the 1st one, but here you all like the superb acting of Anil Kapoor, he does his best as a heartbroken Lover, do his all efforts 2 c her love happy. And a superb Acting, Anil kapoor is the best actor, he proves in this movie too, Satish is a good Director, his all movies starts with comic factors and ends up with emotion, Shilpa is too good, Florence is also good from her side, But Sunil Menon does a good job. Music is awesome. Please watch this flick as its a good one.

    A Decent film but gets spoiled due to too many subplots!!

    Badhaai Ho Badhaai is a romantic comedy film directed by Satish Kaushik and stars Anil Kapoor, Shilpa Shetty, Late Amrish Puri, Late Kader Khan, Keerthi Reddy, Govind Namdeo, Anang Desai, Farida Jalal and Rohini Hattangadi.

    Two lovers from different casts elope and get married much to the dismay of their parents. Twenty-seven years later, a young man, claiming to be their son, comes to reconcile the differences between the families.

    A film with a decent star cast and a promising plot gets partially ruined, partially because the film is not an outright disappointing film and has it's very funny and impressive moments but gets ruined due to too many subplots which doesn't helps in keeping the film afloat. There is a twist in the film which gets revealed too soon and post that the focus of the film gets shifted and breaks the rhythm.

    The acting in the film is masterclass by Anil Kapoor and he is equally impressive in both his avatars. Shilpa Shetty and Kirti Reddy were decent but sometime gets too loud and might irritate the viewers. Late Kader Khan the most versatile actor Indian cinema had ever produced were very impressive and leaves a smile on your face whenever he appears on-screen. Amrish Puri another legend was underused.

    Screenplay of the film is average with first half of the film is really funny and entertaining but the film starts getting off track from the second half, the film does gets back on the track as the film reaches it's climax but it gets too late. Music and songs of the film is good.

    Overall a decently entertaining film which could've been better provided the focus would've more towards the main plot and doesn't wanders in many subplots. Can be watched once for clinical performance by Anil Kapoor.
