Mujhse Shaadi Karogi Dvd

Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (transl. Will You Marry Me?) is a 2004 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy film directed by David Dhawan and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. The film stars Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra, the second collaboration of Kumar and Chopra after their successful Andaaz (2003). The supporting cast includes Amrish Puri, Kader Khan, Satish Shah and Rajpal Yadav. Set primarily in Goa, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi follows the adventures of two men (Kumar and Khan) who try to win a woman’s (Chopra) heart.

Wanting to re-invent himself, Dhawan decided to make a film which would deviate from his signature mass-market comedies in look and feel, approaching it as a romantic comedy. The screenplay was written by Dhawan’s longtime collaborator Anees Bazmee and Rumi Jaffery. Although the film is set in Goa, it was not shot there. Instead, principal photography was done on two detailed sets created by Sharmishta Roy in Film City and Mauritius. Additionally, several scenes and songs were filmed on-location in Mauritius.

Mujhse Shaadi Karogi was released on 30 July 2004 to positive reviews, receiving praise for its direction, performances, music, cinematography, art direction, costumes and styling. With a box-office gross of ₹ 565 million, the film was a commercial success, becoming the third-highest-grossing Indian film of the year. Mujhse Shaadi Karogi was nominated for three Filmfare Awards. The film received thirteen nominations at the 2005 IIFA Awards, including Best Film, Best Director (Dhawan), Best Actor (Khan) and Best Actress (Chopra), winning five awards. It received ten Screen Awards nominations, including Best Film.

Plot

Sameer Malhotra is ill-tempered, with anger-management issues since his parents died during his childhood. When he beats up a group of goons who tried to assault his girlfriend Roma, she breaks up with him because of his temper. According to his horoscope, Sameer is unlucky in love. To escape further similar issues, he becomes a lifeguard in Goa.

On the train, Sameer meets Suraj Prakash, a passenger who makes him think that he is a thief by asking him where he keeps important things (like money) in his luggage. Sameer stays awake all night to avoid being robbed, while Suraj sleeps after conning Sameer into guarding his luggage. Suraj admits this to Sameer the next morning at the station. Sameer learns that Suraj is a security guard at his resort, and puts him on night guard duty for three months. This puts a crimp in Suraj’s marriage and, although he apologises, Sameer is adamant.

Sameer meets Rani, an up-and-coming fashion designer, and falls in love with her. After a rough start with her father Jugraj Singh, a former colonel, Rani and Sameer become friends. Sameer’s bad luck comes into play; he disagrees with Singh, and Rani becomes angry with him when she overhears him saying bad things about her to Pandit Raj Purohit Jyotshi.

Trouble arrives in the form of Sunny, who shares a room with Sameer. He meets Rani, falls in love with her and decides to capitalise on Sameer’s mistakes. This causes friction between the roommates. Sameer gives Rani the money she needs for a fashion competition, calling himself her “well-wisher”. Rani wins the competition and wants to thank her “well-wisher” in person. Sameer (who gave Rani the money he had saved for his grandmother’s eye surgery and his sister’s wedding) goes to meet her but Sunny gets there first, claims to be the well-wisher and takes her away. Sameer follows on his motorcycle and accidentally injures Singh. Sunny, who takes credit for a painting of Rani by Sameer, kidnaps her dog Tommy and frames Sameer. Sameer buys an identical dog and tells Singh that he has found Tommy. He is exposed when the dog bites Singh and runs away.

Although Sameer is angry, he reconciles with Rani with the help of a magician at a New Year’s Eve party. Sunny places a bar dancer in Sameer’s room one morning; Rani, who went there to invite him for breakfast, sees the dancer sleeping there and assumes that they had sex.

Sameer makes another attempt to apologise. When he goes to Rani’s house, he is surprised to see Suraj; Suraj is Rani’s uncle, who now knows that he loves her. Sameer apologises and takes Suraj off night duty. Sameer’s partially-blind grandmother mistakes Rani’s mother for Rani and tries to persuade her to marry Sameer. Rani’s mother tells her daughter to carefully consider whom she loves more: Sameer or Sunny.

Sameer decides to leave Goa, and Sunny taunts him that he got close to Rani through Sameer’s mistakes. Sameer says that he has had enough dreaming, and wishes Sunny happiness. Sunny taunts Sameer again, and Sameer loses his temper. He chases Sunny through the crowd at a cricket stadium where India and Pakistan are playing a friendly match. Sameer breaks through security, takes the microphone from the guest of honour Kapil Dev and apologises to Rani and her parents. He asks her to marry him in front of the crowd, and Rani runs onto the field and embraces him, thus reuniting with him.

Sunny reveals that he is Arun, Sameer’s childhood friend who came to Goa to cure Sameer’s anger-management issues. He also reveals that he went to visit Sameer after returning from America after 19 years and met Sameer’s grandmother, who told him about Sameer’s heartbreak and departure for Goa. Arun decided to help Sameer by posing as his enemy, telling Rani and her parents earlier. Sameer is reunited with Arun, who conducts his and Rani’s wedding.
