Gypsi Bates Kajal (played by Sridevi) is obsessed with money, and as a result begins to disrespect her upstanding, honorable husband, Raj, (Anil Kapoor) for not giving her what she wants. When rich Janhvi (Urmila Matondkar) falls in love with Raj, Kajal bullies him into marrying Janhvi in exchange for a large sum of money. Kajal soon discovers that the wealth she has so desired will not bring the happiness she expected.The incomparably beautiful Sridevi gives an outstanding performance as Kajal, easily working the audience for and against her as the scene required. Matondkar is also excellent in her role. Kapoor, though playing his part well, is overshadowed by the two strong performances by the actresses, but that is as it should be for this film. The direction is superb, the music is good, the choreography average, the traditional costumes stunning, and the supporting cast some of the finest. I was surprised at just how fantastic this movie was, and it is written well enough that I was uncertain as to how it would finally end. I highly recommend this film, if for nothing else than Sridevi's performance.The star-studded cast also includes Kader Khan, Farida Jalal, Johnny Lever, Paresh Rawal, Upasana Singh and Saeed Jaffrey

Liakot Ali Judaai a serious family drama with romance and comedy. In short cut, this movie is about a Girl who loves a married man with kids so much, she makes the wife an offer. The offer is that she becomes the second wife, they live happily and the first wife gets 2 crore (Million). The offer gets accepted after a few incidents. What follows is a little serious scenes and a few comedy scenes. Anil Kapoor gives a great performance, but his character is so stingy. He works as an engineer with decent wages, but doesn't buy basic household things including a Television. This is not realistic, this kind of character must be a bore. But, the director has managed to make him look like a Great fellow, no one but me is complaining (and his first wife). Sridevi (Anil's real life sister in law) plays his first wife who adores money and reputation. Sridevi is one of my old time favourites and delivers a Brilliant performance. She should of received Best actress rather then the pathetic Karishma Kapoor in Raja Hindustani that year, famous for bribing awards. Urmila is a talented actress in a good performance. We have Three Great comedians in Superb roles including Kader Khan, Paresh Rawail and Johnny Lever. This is worth the watch.

lizu 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.

Parminder Singh 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...
