Neetu Kapoor and Kapil Sharma's new film Daadi Ki Shaadi, which also marks Riddhima Kapoor Sahni's acting debut, stars Riddhima's daughter Samaira in a guest appearance, while Kapil Sharma plays a pivotal role. The film was released on Friday, May 8, and is directed by Ashish R. Mohan.
The rom-com comes with a dramatic and emotional touch, and this isn't a new-age boy-meets-girl kind of love story. The premise is based on remarriage in old age. The film is emotional and has various layers to it. The main protagonist of the film is Neetu Singh, and her on-screen camaraderie with her daughter Riddhima is something audiences will like.
The film feels like a fresh breath of air — light-hearted and not too heavy on the head.
However, despite being a subtle and beautiful film, Daadi Ki Shaadi opened to a weak start at the box office. The film failed to connect with audiences, and many viewers didn't like it.
Let's take a look at what movie-goers who have watched the film have to say!
A Twitter user wrote, "Daadi Ki Shaadi is one of those rare family entertainers that wins you over with simplicity and sincerity. No loud drama, no forced emotions... just a beautifully told story filled with warmth, laughter and genuine human moments."
Another mentioned, "DaadiKiShaadi is a film that is all about loving your family... by emotionally guilting them to stay together. Also, a film that firmly believes in 'ladki ki naa mein hi uski haan hai.'"
The next user wrote, "Daadi Ki Shaadi tries to be a progressive take on companionship in old age, but the script is stuck in the 90s. What could have been a sharp, poignant dramedy turns into a sluggish, repetitive family drama that loses steam before the interval."
Although Neetu Kapoor is a marvellous actor, the film failed to connect with Gen Z and millennials.
Cast performances
Neetu Kapoor does her best with what she's given, but the character lacks depth. Kapil Sharma is dull and can't act; he is best with comedy, and the film loses its spark and becomes mundane. The chemistry between the cast feels forced.
Riddhima Kapoor Sahni's debut could be much better; her emotional scenes feel hollow and rehearsed.
Daadi Ki Shaadi Box Office Collection Day 1
According to Sacnilk, Daadi Ki Shaadi managed to earn just Rs 60 lakh across 1,789 shows, failing to cross the Rs 1 crore mark on its opening day at the box office. This takes its total India gross collection to Rs 72 lakh, while the net collection stands at Rs 60 lakh so far.

Daadi Ki Shaadi's budget has not been officially confirmed by the makers yet. However, industry reports suggest that the film has been produced on an estimated budget of around Rs 20–25 crore.
Given this mid-range budget, the film's opening-day performance is being viewed as underwhelming.
