Shaadi Se Pehle
Is she? Or is she not? Is she the best for me? Or can I get one better?
How many times does a guy think in this direction 'shaadi se pehle'? Afterall the fear of uncertainty more often than not makes a guy wonder whether he is getting his best match. But how many times has someone tried to think in an opposite direction i.e. from the girl's point of view? Whether I am the best for her? Does she deserve someone better than me? Would I be able to keep her happy?
Well, overly emotional Ashish Kapoor [Akshaye Khanna] thought so! He was extremely happy with the love of his life Rani [Ayesha Takia]. Inseparable and very much in love, it seemed that nothing could separate that! Except for Ashish's own thoughts!
He was one man who got rattled very soon. Any emotional moment around him and it would become extremely impossible for him to control his emotions. Such was the extent of this unnerving state of his that he was dependant upon pills. More often than not, this would give rise to funny situations but Ashish was not the one who could change!
This was something that caught the eyes of Rani's parents too. Looking at such a medical issue with their would-be son-in-law, it was but natural for them to keep the love birds away. To make matters worse, Ashish had a friend in the form of Rohit [Aftab Shivdasani] who could give his right hand and left foot for Rani.
With friends like these, would Ashish have ever needed an enemy?
Still, Rani's love for Ashish could not be shaken by any of such factors that went against their relationship. She instilled confidence in him and both were all set to tie the knot. Until, a tragedy knocked their doors!
It was discovered that Ashish had cancer!
But was that really the case? Off course not! In a comedy of errors like this, how could one even imagine such a tragic twist to the tale? It so happened that doctors mentioned hypertension and somehow Ashish realized it as cancer. And now he is completely shaken up.
But this time around he doesn't want his emotions to completely overshadow him. Instead he comes up with a thought. A thought that could come to only one in a million!
He now wants Rani to hate him and marry someone else before he eventually succumbs to cancer!
And for this he has a plan in place.
A plan that needs to be executed 'shaadi se pehle'!
Enters into the scene Sania [Mallika Sherawat] - the mother of all bombs. Specifically roped in for the purpose of deceiving Rani, Ashish and Sania indulge into a lovey-dovey affair. All in front of Rani!
Distraught and heartbroken, Rani walks out of Ashish's life and bows down to the wishes of her family to marry someone else. And this 'someone else' turns out to be none other than Rohit. Everyone is happy now. Ashish feels he has done his best for the love of his life. Rani has managed to move on in life. And what about Rohit? Well, he is obviously on the 7th heaven. But would all this continue for long?
Because soon Ashish realizes his folly! He gets to know that he was safe and sound with his death still years away. Afterall he didn't suffer from cancer! Completely amazed by the turn of events around him, he wants to do the next logical thing - get back Rani! But then there are issues galore:
Marriage of Rani and Rohit is fixed
Rani doesn't trust Ashish any more
Sania is stuck on him
And the biggest of all
Anna [Suneil Shetty], elder brother of Rani, who is a notorious don, wants to have him killed!
And Ashish has to clear up all this mess - shaadi se pehle!
