Daadi Ki Shaadi FIRST Review: Riddhima Kapoor Gives 'Awesome Debut' In 'Wholesome, Heart-Touching Film'

Daadi Ki Shaadi Review: Ranbir Kapoor’s sister, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, is all set to make her Bollywood debut in Daadi Ki Shaadi. The film also stars her mother Neetu Kapoor and Kapil Sharma. While the film will be released on May 8, a special screening was recently held in Mumbai for Bollywood stars. Early reactions have painted a positive picture of the film.

A review shared by Riddhima read, “Laughed, cried and was thoroughly entertained by the wholesomeness of it all ❤️ @neetu54 you are amazing as usual and @riddhimakapoorsahniofficial what an awesome debut! Amazing performances by all the cast members. Watch Dadi Ki Shaadi!!!!”

Another Instagram Story read, “After ages have watched the most heart-touching sweet film with extraordinary performances,

beautiful dialogues. must watch. #meri dadi ki shaadi. most amazing performance @neetu54 @riddhimakapoorsahniofficial @kapilsharma @sadiaakhateeb.”

Alekha Advani Jain wrote, “Fab movie, Neetu Kapoor, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni and everyone else in the film. Such a fun family drama.” Aamir Khan told the paparazzi, “Riddhima ki pehle film hai. Bahot badhiya kaam kiya hai. Ranbir se better kiya hai (This is Riddhima’s first film. She has done a great job. She’s better than Ranbir).”

At 45 years old, Riddhima will be the oldest Kapoor to mark her on-screen debut, though she has previously been seen on Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives. In a recent chat with SCREEN, Riddhima said, “It truly feels surreal and deeply emotional. There’s a sense of everything coming full circle… I know my father is always with me, blessing me in anything and everything that I choose to do. That thought gives me a lot of strength and comfort.”

“Being in front of the camera for a show made me comfortable. It gave me a sense of ease and familiarity, which definitely made this transition smoother,” Riddhima said about her Netflix show. Interestingly, Neetu Kapoor also made brief appearances on the show alongside Riddhima and spoke about returning to work after Rishi Kapoor’s passing.

Now, Neetu will be seen as Riddhima’s on-screen mother in the film. Riddhima said, “Working with mom was incredibly special. I discovered how effortless and instinctive she is as an actor.” Neetu also advised Riddhima: “Stay natural and don’t overthink. Just feel the moment.” Riddhima said, “That really helped me ease into my performance.”

For Daadi Ki Shaadi, it was Kapil Sharma who suggested Riddhima’s name. She said, “I haven’t really asked him why directly, but I think he saw a certain honesty or relatability in me. I’m just grateful he recommended my name.” The film also stars Sarath Kumar and Sadia Khateeb, and is all set to hit theatres on May 8.
