Movie Review: Biwi-o-Biwi (The Wife) (Hindi film) (1981)

The fun film is how they introduce the film in the titles. they could have alternatively called it mindless fluff or utter tripe. And there are a few crass double-meaning dialogues thrown in.

They have managed to waste even the best of talent: Abrar Alvi, Nida Fazli, RD Burman, Lata Mangeshkar, Sanjeev Kumar…..

The story: the attempts of a guy to get married and the travails the story travels through.

Sanjeev Kumar’s brilliant though. Its as if Sachin Tendulkar has been given a plastic bat to bat with. But he bats throughout the innings









Poonam Dhillon (of Bigg Boss fame) is the beauty

And Randhir Kapoor and Rajendranth provide the comic relief

These guys loved it though: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266333/usercomments. ‘fantastic movie’, ‘One of the best Bollywood slapstick comedies’, ‘rip-roaring comedy’ are the terms used. I wonder if I should get admitted to an institution

Every aspect of film-making in this film sucks.
