Badhai Ho Badhai -- Feel good film

Anil Kapoor Badhai Ho Badhai, the Anil Kapoor starrer is a feel good film that says it's important to have the right attitude and a positive outlook.

The film tells the story of two families -- one Christian and the other Hindu -- that would rather fight than live in peace.

A youth, Raja (Anil), walks in and tries to unite the families, who in turn want to get him married off. Adding a twist to the tale are Shilpa Shetty, who claims to be his wife Banta Betty, and Keerti Reddy, as Florence.

Anu Malik, who had earlier worked with director Satish Kaushik on Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai has composed for the film.
