| Shaadi No 1 is yet another comedy flick from the David Dhawan series. The film revolves around three couples. These include Raj and Bhavna, Aryan and Sonia, Veer and Diya. Life is very difficult for the men because their wives do not pay attention to them. All three men are unemployed. When the going gets tough, the men try to kill themselves, but in the process end up rescuing a suicidal businessman called Kothari (Satish Shah). All three men strike a deal with Kothari - if he employs them in his company, they will solve his business problems. Life runs smoothly until Kothari reveals his next problem. He has three young daughters living abroad who do not want arranged marriages. So in order to teach the girls a lesson, Kothari agrees on a plan - all three men must romance his daughters and then dump them. In this way, the girls will realise that falling in love is unstable, compared to an arranged marriage. So, all goes according to plan as the boys travel abroad to carry out their side of the bargain for Kothari.
But trouble soon ensues in paradise as all three girls return to India to be with their fellas. The men must now handle the girls and their wives at the same time. To top it all up, the wives have found themselves a brother by the name of Lakhwinder Singh to whom they turn for advice during their hour of need.
Life really gets complicated when their boss (Kothari) orders the boys to stop seeing his daughters. Meanwhile Lukhwinder Singh tries to warn their wives about the goings-on. From then onwards, chaos and confusion ensues in typically David Dhawan style, who has the gift of wrapping the whole problem up with a plausible climax. Like most Dhawan films, the story is interspersed with song and dance routines against a backdrop of colourful overseas locations. Mr Dhawan is at his comedic best while making Shaadi No 1. After all, he has plenty of experience in making the No 1 series of films i.e. Biwi No 1, Coolie No 1, Hero No 1 etc.. Great performances have been given by all the lead stars especially in the song and dance sequences. A great colourful Diwali rib-tickler full of fun all the way. Reviewed by Manish Gajjar,
