Beautiful, moving film.

A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This film was Sridevi's last film in 1990s before her temporary retirement and comeback with English Vinglish. During the making of the film, Sridevi married Anil's brother and producer Boney Kapoor who was already married and had 2 children. The film has a weird concept of selling 1 husband which is hard to digest though the characters may seem relatable. Another problem is forced comedy which was prevalent in 80s. The comedy gets to the nerves Another problem is it's melodramatic tone which does get irritating but films were made like that in 90s. Some scenes are well handled like Sridevi's outburst towards the end and Anil's too.Direction by Raj Kanwar is good but writing could be better Music is good though too many songsAnil Kapoor plays his part well which is underwritten though, Sridevi is exceptional in her role making the unbelievable seem believable Urmila is decent, Kader Khan is funny though his comedy track could be avoided, Farida Jalal is as usual, Paresh Rawal annoys, Johny Lever is funny rest are okay

I mean, come on - a woman sells her husband? And on top of that, the husband has no objection? Which woman would sell her husband? Which woman would want to buy a man? Which man would be ready to display himself for sale? It's a big joke. The film does have something that partially works, maybe it's the naivety of the mainstream, escapist, and not-always-realistic Hindi cinema. But it falls short soon. The main idea and the entire story make it look pathetic. Anil Kapoor is ordinary. Sridevi, despite delivering a generally good performance with a nice mixture of comedy and drama, is annoying and unbearable at times. I mean, you need not be a complete idiot to make a convincing poor and rural housewife. It's not her fault, it's the director's insistence to make her a court jester. Urmila is perhaps the best of the lot, and she plays the simple rich girl endearingly. Well, Judaai is not that bad for a one-time watch, and I believe some would enjoy it. My say - watch it if you are ready to go through moments of sheer stupidity.

Kajal is married to Raj thinking him to be very rich. But Raj who is an Engineer by profession is not so. He is from a middle class family. But Kajal is not ready for a middle class lifestyle. He tries to convince Raj to take bribes and make a lot of money. Raj is not ready to sacrifice his honesty for money. They live for several years, have two children but Kajal still lives in her fantasy world of Cars, Bungalows. Jahnavi played by Urmila is the daughter of Raj's boss. She reaches India and falls in love with Raj. She offers a lot of money to Kajal in exchange of Raj. Kajal readily agrees. Little did she realize that this small happiness will change her life for ever. All three lead characters played by Anil Kapoor, Sri devi and Urmila have justified their role.

this film was a hit when it was released.....it was actually inspired from boney kapoor and sridevi's marriage, with a switch of roles... basically, sridevi plays an average girl, who hates living in a poor society and dreams of becoming rich. Her husband, the honest-hardworking Anil, is an engineer yet is quite poor. His honesty is greatly appreciated by Urmila, his boss's niece. Urmila falls for Anil, and on discoving Sridevi's passion for money, offers Sridevi 2 crore ruppes if Urmila could marry Anil. After some life-death convincing, Ail agrees.So, now, all live in a big house, but soon sridevi learns the value of her husband......it's a nioce movie, watch it...
