Mere Brother Ki Dulhan

Synopsis

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan (transl. My Brother's Bride) is a 2011 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy film written and directed by Ali Abbas Zafar in his directorial debut, and produced by Aditya Chopra under the Yash Raj Films banner. The film stars Imran Khan, Katrina Kaif, Ali Zafar, and Tara D'Souza. In the film, Kush Agnihotri (Khan) is asked to find a suitable bride for his brother, Luv (Zafar) and reconnects with Dimple Dixit (Kaif), an eccentric and spirited woman from his past, and arranges her engagement to Luv—only for complications to arise when he and Dimple develop feelings for each other before the wedding. The film marked Khan's first collaboration with Yash Raj Films, and the second for both Kaif and Zafar after New York (2009). It also marked the Bollywood debut of Ali Zafar and D’Souza. Development began in August 2010, after Zafar, then an assistant director at the studio, pitched multiple scripts. Principal photography took place from September to November 2010 across several locations including Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, and Himachal Pradesh. Originally slated for release in July 2011, the film was postponed and premiered theatrically on 9 September 2011. Mere Brother Ki Dulhan received positive reviews from critics, with praise directed at the lead performances, humor, screenplay, and soundtrack. The film emerged as a commercial success, grossing ₹856 million (US$10 million) worldwide. At the 57th Filmfare Awards, the film earned two nominations: Best Actress (Kaif) and Best Music Director (Sohail Sen).
