A new relationship blossoms between a happily married couple in Shaadi Mubarak, India, when their faithfulness is returned despite the odds. After Preeti, the soon-to-be-married groom, abruptly realizes his wife is cheating on him, he takes action so as to save the union, which can be in real danger of falling. His daughter, Naazba, is equally determined to stand up to her mother's infidelity and protect her dad by the consequences.
The first half of the movie is centered on Preeti's hunt for Naazba and how he eventually corrals the"other woman." The storyline involves various mishaps that Preeti experiences while traveling across India, in particular, the state of Telangana where he meets the beautiful Naazba who has moved to Hyderabad in search of love. The film is full of hilarious comedy, especially during the climactic scenes if both men fall from a horse and fight to walk. But the travel itself is a major highlight and it doesn't overlook the devoted fans of Hindi horror films which might have left out Shailie Raja, earlier called Sharukh Kamin, from their list of favorite directors.
The first half of the film has great comedy scenes that can tickle your funny bones no matter what age you are. The Hyderabad episode is one of the funniest sequences as well as the way in which the city reacts to it's really wonderful. However, some of the dialogue is a little choppy and the cinematography is not of the highest quality, but it's still entertaining. The performances of Keertan Kapoor and Madhubala have their moments too, but the true star of this show is none besides Ravi Teja, who plays the role of an aging, senile old man who only wants to enjoy his last minutes
Shaadi Mubarak.
The next half of the film is absolute terror. Several scenes of torture are interspersed with the couple's occasional misunderstandings. The implementation of this choreography is well done but sometimes the editing is too choppy and cuts out choppy as well. The battle scenes, while nicely executed, lack realism and sometimes the choreography goes overboard. Though a good proportion of the movie is full of violence, Shaadi Mubarak does not take the chance to tell the viewer which the violence is totally unnecessary, rather it resorts to showing the aftermath of the offense, which is very graphic, but not as vivid as the one portrayed in the first half of the movie.
The final scene of the movie, which contributes to the burning of the house of the couple's love, is the very best part of the film. The way in which the couple's daughter games her father in the fire is priceless and the comedy scenes between the two are worth watching. The next half of this movie leaves the viewer wanting for more as the lead pair's relationship with their daughter develops and they learn more about each other.
Overall, Shaadi Mubarak is a great humor that leaves the audience craving for more. Even though a few scenes are somewhat predictable, nearly all the film is pure entertainment. The writing style is excellent and the acting is pretty good, if a little over the top occasionally. With great comedy sequences and an excellent plot, it is no surprise that Shaadi Mubarak is gaining popularity in the state of Maharashtra. If you still haven't seen this movie, make it a point to do so and enjoy a light-hearted evening with your family or friends.
