Onir's "Sorry Bhai!" arrived and left hardly registering a flutter. Ali Abbas Zafar picks up the basic premise, tweaks it a bit, sprinkles with tongue-in-cheek humour, glitters with Katrina & Imran, and finally douses with Yashraj sensibilities to escape the copyright violation - voilà! "Mere Brother Ki Dulhan" fresh from the oven ready for you Sir!Imran Khan: Effortlessly essays his role and must say that he is getting better with each passing movie. Katrina: Gets a meaty-pie role which she attempts to pull it off being bashful, flirtatious, demure and coy - all at the same time, mind you. In the nutshell she overacts. Without being ruthless, I should give her credit for pulling off the "Dhunki".Ali Zafar: "Tere Bin Laden" he was promising. Here he was on a hamming spree that would give Shahrukh a stiff competition. Badshah Khan hold your horses please.Comedy is fairly OK though there was immense scope to better it. Wedding subject brought Yashraj a much needed hit ("Band Bajaa Baraat") and therefore spillover in "Mere Brother Ki Dulhan" is obvious. Music is high energy and well promoted though will not hold charts once the movie makes an exit from the cinema halls. Ali Abbas Zafar is not too bad for a first-timer wielding the megaphone. He needs to polish his story-telling skills.Commercially it will rake a good business at the box-office considering the promos, Katrina factor and the masala it delivers to the multiplex audience.

As we see today, directors are making movies like Delhi Belly and Dil To Baccha Hain Ji, which contain cheap humor and are not suitable for family viewing. Mere Brother Ki Dulhan contains no such thing apart from the b- word and s-word (uttered once by Katrina Kaif). On the whole though, it's a movie that's watchable with family, and even though it's over 2 hours long, it won't bore you. Imran Khan and Ali Zafar are great and Katrina has actually acted well in this film. That's a plus point, considering that she's not been a great actor in previous films. I would consider it a one-time watch. It's funny, but the jokes are lame. It wouldn't be funny if watched twice.

This review is quite short but I will be glad if it helps. MBKD starts of with Luv (Ali Zafar) breaking up with his longtime girlfriend. Being fed up with his hookups he finally decides to settle down and assigns the job of finding a suitable bride to his younger brother Kush (Imran Khan). So Kush gets on the job and finally finds a girl Dimple (Katrina Kaif). Both families meet up and get along with each other. Problem starts when Kush and Dimple realize that they are in love with each other.During the first half the film runs slowly while the second half is more enjoyable thanks to the comic timing of Ali Zafar who plays his character very well. Katrina plays her role of a mad, carefree girl very well while Imran plays his role fairly, nothing special about him. The film doesn't have a strong script but runs smoothly on the acting of the stars. Music is good. Overall MBKD is a good enjoyable fair that you wont get bored watching. When every movie maker resorts to crude jokes for humor, MBKD is one film that can be watched with your family.

The director Ali Abbas Zafar (has no connection with Ali Zafar) works upon the common Bollywood formula of a love triangle but sadly, the movie fails to maintain a balance between love and humor quotient.The movie sparkles for about first half an hour, and as a viewer, you feel delighted. But gradually, the movie centers to the same old story with some added Masala in it.The messed up screenplay and ordinary performances are something to blame a big time. There are unnecessary comic scenes and over-the-top performances, due to which, the movie fails to create an emotional under current.The movie has many references of Bollywood movies (or say spoof), which somehow keeps you glued on the seat. But the main thing in a rom-com, the flavor of romance is missing here.The songs, in fact boosted the movie, which was supposed to be the role of screenplay writer.Imran Khan is as usual in the role of a chocolate boy, and his sweet image does trick for him. Katrina Kaif looks uncomfortable on the screen, she tries too hard to fit in her character and she somehow, fails to do so. Ali Zafar (though in a small role) has delivered a brilliant performance again. I want to see him more often. Tina D'Sousa is remarkable.Some scenes like the Chat show scene and Dabbang spoof are genuinely funny and scenes like Katrina's confession about love to Imran are touchy.Ali A. Zafar as a director has done a good job but Ali A. Zafar as a screenplay writer has a long way to go.
