Judaai is not bad at all for what it is - a typical Hindi movie. I actually saw it back in the day but I just re-watched it, and thought it deserved a good review.The story is quite interesting, albeit a little over the top. The acting from Sridevi and Urmila is very good. The part Sridevi plays is a tough one but she holds up amazingly well. Urmila's role is more generic but her acting is still worth mentioning. Anil Kapoor does OK. There are a good number of side actors, mostly comedians, who do a good job as well. The soundtrack isn't bad overall even though I only really liked two of the songs. Finally, I thought the dialog was very good, almost unexpectedly so.If you enjoy Hindi movies from the 90s this is a shoe in.

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.

Sridevi is absolutely fantastic.This was her last Bollywood movie which she had signed before leaving. Hoever, it was by far her best performance. She was pregnant at the time with her first child, who incidentally was named after the character of Urmila Matondkar, another artiste who gave her best performance, and for once was not over the top. Anil Kapoor who always gives his best performance is also good as is Johnny Lever who is hilarious and Kader Khan. OParesh Rawal is incredibly funny and we see the debut of a new actress who can only be named 'AbbaDabbaJabba'. Dinesh Hingoo also makes an appearance in the film. Farida Jalal and Saeed Jaffery are also valued artistes in the making this film worthwhile watching. The best bit about this film is how the plot is lifted from a Hollywood movie and yet is Indian enough for Indian audience consumption.

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...
