'Daadi Ki Shaadi' Receives Mixed Reviews Amid Modest Box Office Performance

The film 'Daadi Ki Shaadi,' starring Neetu Kapoor and Kapil Sharma, centers on a grandmother's attempt to gain her family's attention by feigning a marriage. Critics describe it as a family melodrama with limited emotional depth and uneven performances, though some comic moments, especially involving supporting characters, are noted. The movie has seen modest box office returns, with collections below expectations against an estimated budget of Rs. 25-45 crore, and faces competition from upcoming releases.
