Dulha Mil Gaya Movie Review

Dulha Mil Gaya is one of those films that you walk in without any expectations. Its been in the making for far too many years and the lead stars hardly arouse any interest of watching the film first day first show. Getting down to introducing the film, its directed by first time director Mudassar Aziz and stars Fardeen Khan, Sushmita Sen, Ishita SharmaJohnny Lever, Parikshit Sahni and Shahrukh Khan in a special appearance (no, not close to as long as his role in Billu) 

Story, well, is one of those that you might have seen a hundred times or more  in Bollywood films over the past many years. Tej Dhanraj a.k.a Donsai (played by Fardeen Khan) is a dashing young man and like many guys of his age he is commitment phobic. With hope of inheriting crores from his father’s estate, Donsai is shocked when he gets to know he only has a few days to marry Samarpreet (Ishita Sharma) a typical virginal Punjabi girl (like seen in many Yashraj films).

Shimmer (Sushmita Sen) is a popular diva, who is equally commitment phobic. PRG – Pawan Raj Gandhi (SRK), is multi-millionaire who tries to woo back his love, typical SRK style. The film is about these four characters, love and relationships.

Dulha Mil Gaya Review

The problem with Dulha Mil Gaya is, its way too out-dated to work in today’s times. The director is heavily inspired from previous Rajshri and Yashraj classics, but offers nothing new in terms of story-telling or treatment. Also with the changing physical appearances of both Fardeen and Sushmita with almost every scene, its pretty easy to notice that the film has been in the making for years now.

The comedy at most times, doesn’t work. The dialogues are too cheesy and the music is nothing great either. Shahrukh Khan makes an appearance only in the second half, the scene when he jumps into the sea to save Sushmita’s fake dog, works only because of SRK.

Fardeen tries as hard he has done all these years, falls flat unfortunately. With a better actor, the film as a whole would have probably worked. Also, he needs to work on his physique. Hard to rate Sushmita Sen here, she is horrible in certain scenes, good in quite a few. Shahrukh Khan sleep walks through his role. Ishita Sharma is good on debut. Johnny Lever and the others are wasted.

Overall, Dulha Mil Gaya was perfect for the 90s. For today’s audience its boring, out-dated and way to clichéd to make any sort of impact.

Rating: ★½☆☆☆

  • Zahirul: do u think if 3 Idiots was released 10 years ago.. 60 million ppl would’ve watched it?!! and I’m sure.. 1000% sure that people would never considered this movie as a great one before 10 years! someone become very famous so ppl love anything he’d make, whether it was good or bad.. right? that’s a fact, but that doesn’t mean that 100% of the movies Aamir is doing are great.. he got movies which are average, not that great, but his name, his popularity will make any movie work at the box office, even Shahrukh, Salman, Akshay.. they’re all popular.. and see Akshay Kumar’s latest movies.. he did 3 flop and bad movies.

    If ppl didn’t watch DMG so it’s because of the actors in the leading roles.. who are Sushmita & Fardeen ( and Shahrukh was considered as a guest in the movie) so.. if ppl in India didn’t watch it so it doesn’t mean that the movie was bad..if I even didn’t go and watch it yesterday ( because I though like u.. that the movie isn’t good) so I’d hv missed a good movie, and I’m happy that I changed my mind and went to cinema to watch it.. and thank God.. it was a good movie and everyone was enjoying it and Shahrukh didn’t dissapoint me

  • @ fathiya
    u have loved this film, bcause of srk (as u r his fan). I would doubt you wouldn’t have sweated to write so many comments if srk was absent….well it’s ok to b biased, but girl u r getting too much. By the way JJWS is considered to b a classic movie, it got success in the area where most of the films at that time didn’t get & Mann is considered to b an ok movie, nothing great xcept the performances.

  • Rex: Shahrukh did a good support for this movie, but the movie was nice, the story, the direction, the performance by Sushmita and the new girl, even by Fardeen ( and Fareen was the main reason for me not to watch it, never liked his acting, but he did good in his role.. wasn’t bad at all).. and the movie got 6 or 7 good songs ( I didn’t expect that too!!) when I watched the movie, loved the songs too, I immediately downloaded them into my Ipod.

    And I’d love to see it again.. I’ll do for sure..yeah.. Shahrukh is the main reason that I want to watch the movie again, and then Sushmita.. I love Sushmita Sin.. I loved her character from the time she was selected as Miss Universe, loved her guts, not a hypocrite person at all, and I “always” considered here much more beautiful than Aishwariya.. she’s attractive, glamourus actress, and funny too.

  • Hey girl Fathiya, What were u doing when the movie 3 Idiots played at cinema hall. I guess u were with ur boy frnd there at the corner sit, & doing some naughty jobs. Go & watch the movie again without being too naughty.

  • Pond: you’re a new member on this website.. there4 u don’t know who I am and my age.. dear Pond.. I’ve grand children.. I could be yr mom, not a naughty girl in the early age of 20’s!!

  • Ponds: I think you love “pond” products.. there4 u named yourself with the same.. anyways.. 3 Idiots is not a bad comedy, it’s a passtime movie.. I laughed in some scenes, and liked the sentence: all ez well which Aamir used to say… Aamir and his costar’s acting were good, but I didn’t like some scenes in this movie ( go to the movie review page and read my comment there).. it’s the biggest blockbuster movie I know.. but it’s not (the best) indian movie.. if ppl would consder any movie which makes lots of money at the box office as the best movie in the history so it’s idiotical to think this way!!

  • @fathiya: why r u talking about 10 years before talk. 3i diots is today’s movie.we live in present not in past n future. so we have to think for today. as ur comment if 3 idiots released before 10 years than people will not like this movie….ok fathiya……but u have to keep in knowledge if ddlj released in this time than people also don’t like this movie coz today’s peoples expectation is different than 10 years before peoples expectation.

  • Rony: u got it all wrong.. I meant that Aamir Khan was not so popular or loved by the audience like Shahrukh 10 years ago.. so if the movie was released 10 years ago, and with the same direction, I don’t think that 60 million ppl in this world would’ve watched it.. right?!! I didn’t say that people’s taste was different 10 years ago… any comedy – even some silly crap ones – do work at the box office becuase it’s the favourite type of movie for the indian audience anywhere in this world.. so it’d hv worked for sure ( but 1 million ppl would’ve watched it and not 60 million!)
