Warning: Spoilers
David Dhawan is known for lifting stories from old films,Tamil films JUDWAA was a remake of Telugu film Hello Brother(1994) which was similar to Twin Dragons starring Jackie Chan. JUDWAA is an almost rip off of Hello Brother but yet it's funny. The film was Salman's first film with DD and also first film to have him in a double role. The film is funny in parts, Especially the confusion regarding both the Salmans, At times there is no continuity while at times the film is too loud and overdone yet it works well keeping in mind it's time. Salman and Karisma love story starts with an attempted robbery scene which involves a butt spanking scene, where Salman spanks Karisma which goes on throughout the film(LUCKY SALMAN!!!)

Direction is decent, though the film is a remake Music was a big hit, Tan Tana Tan, Oonchi Hai Building and all songs are superb though their placements are eratic also the choreography is at times too crude.

Salman Khan plays both roles superbly, be it Tapori Raja or Dignified Prem, though his voice irritates at times, this was one of his first comedies after AAA. Karisma hardly gets scope to act but pairs well with Salman. Rambha(voice dubbed by Tabu) is okay Kader Khan is funny,Tiku Talsania too is good,Dalip Tahil is good too Reema Lagoo is as usual, Mukesh Rishi repeats his villainy, Ishrat Ali is good, Shakti Kapoor repeats his Raja Babu act and is funny,Anupam Kher overdoes, Satish Shah is good, Bindu is as usual.
