Story of the Movie :
Sameer Malhotra(Salman Khan) is High-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(Amrita Arora), 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(Satish Shah), 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 singh (Priyanka Chopra), an up-and-coming fashion designer, and falls in love with her. After a rough start with her father Jugraj Singh(Amrish Puri), 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(Rajpal Yadav).
Trouble arrives in the form of Sunny(Akshay Kumar), 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 unmasked 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.

Review of the film :
Mujhse Shaadi Karogi was positive review from mostly all critics, who praised the film’s direction, cinematography, choreography, costumes, styling and performances.
Anupama Chopra from India Today found the film “partly fun but mostly exhausting”: Mujhse Shaadi Karogi is pure dazzle. There are clothes of all designs imaginable – from gorgeous embroidered and sequinned Indian outfits to sleek and hip western attire. There are locations of breathtaking beauty from aquamarine seas to quaint churches.”
Planet Bollywood gave 7.5 out of 10, calling it a “pure entertainment that is high on production value” and a “good escapist cinema” for both masses and classes, writing that “The unexpected and unique climax follows and the audience is pleasantly surprised at the turn of events and revelations with a fitting finale is another version of the title song that brings the house down.”
Subhash K. Jha gave Mujhse Shaadi Karogi a positive review for Indo-Asian News Service, calling the film Dhawan’s smartest comedy to date: “This is one laughathon you can enjoy with your family without squirming in your seats.”
Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave it four stars out of five, calling it a “mass entertainer” and an apt example of escapist cinema which “transports you to a world of make-believe”.
Adarsh praised the chemistry between Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra and said “Stylishly shot at some panoramic locales of Mauritius, with no double entendres, the film proves yet again that only David can pull off such stories without the cinegoer feeling cheated by an obscure plot.”
Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com also praised the film: “It’s a screwball comedy with gorgeous visuals, crisp editing, and fine performances. David Dhawan gets it right.”
The Hindu newpapaer review called it “pure entertainment” and praised the clean humour and Akshay’s performance writing that “Salman Khan shows more brawn than histrionics, while Akshay Kumar displays a real flair for comedy. Some of his expressions are delightfully wicked and effortless.”
Pre-post Production / Marketing and Release of the film :
Pre-production :
David Dhawan is Famous for making Mass movies wanted to make Mujhse Shaadi Karogi a romantic comedy. Asked about re-inventing himself with the film, he replied: “I have changed with the times. One has to change. My trademark style remains unchanged in its basics. Why should I change when my style has kept me going for so many years? I will never change that.” David wanted the make the film different from his earlier releases in look and feel. Anees Bazmee, who collaborated on several films with the director, returned to write its screenplay.
In a Times of India interview, Priyanka Chopra said that she had signed for David’s comedy film co-starring Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar; it was the 2nd time between Akshay and Priyanka, after the successful Andaaz (2003). Priyanka Chopra said that her decision was based on “the hilarious script” and Sajid Nadiadwala’s reputation as a producer. She described Rani Singh, an aspiring fashion designer, as “very innocent and gullible” and a “girl next door”: ” Rani gets stuck between two boys. She likes both of them and she doesn’t know what to do.” In an interview with Rediff.com, Akshay described his character as someone who creates many problems in Sameer’s life and compared their dynamics to Tom and Jerry: “I harass him all the time.”
Production/ shooting details :

Three hundred people made up the unit for the Mauritius schedule.

Post Production/ Marketing/Release of he Movie :
Entrances of several theaters in India and abroad were decorated as marriage mandaps (halls) for the film. Sajid Nadiadwala said, “You have to make the entire process of movie-going exciting. Since the title itself talks of marriage, making the entrance of theatres resemble mandaps was the best possible way to attract cinegoers.”

They released a 64-page, palm-sized book with information about the characters’ love triangle, tips about how to woo a woman and pictures of the three main characters.
