Shaadi Se Pehle |
The humour interlaced with the love story, tends to go overboard at times. But some sequences are really funny like the one between Akshaye and Rajpal Yadav in the beginning of the film, Akshaye and Suneil, and Akshaye and Boman Irani.
The performances- Akshaye Khanna does not let you down. He's good with his expressive face and smile. But he's also made a sincere effort to look bad in the film. Why? Agreed that he's playing a nerd, but he should have gone easy with his wig and clothes. But good or bad looking, he's a delight to watch on screen for his acting potential.
Mallika Sherawat is perfectly cast as the seductress while Ayesh Takia fits in well in the girl-next-door role. Suniel Shetty is funny. Ditto for Boman Irani. In fact, their interaction scene is very funny. Aftab Shivdasani has a small role but does it well. Rajpal Yadav is excellent as usual. Anupam Kher is funny in the bits that he makes an appearance in. Gulshan Grover and Vijayendra are wasted.
The film has its share of funny moments but doesn't make great impact. Himesh Reshammiya's music is not great at all! Let's wait and watch the fate of the film at the box office.
