Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai

Sanjay Malhotra lives in Mumbai with his friend Riya. He receives a phone call from his childhood friend Anjali Sharma, who shocks him with the news that she is getting married. Unfortunately, Sanjay has loved Anjali for years. Jealous and frustrated, Sanjay makes his way to Anjali with an intention to stop her marriage.

Sanjay goes to Anjali's home and soon meets her groom, Rohit Khanna. Sanjay, constantly reprimanded and lovingly chided for his playboy behaviour, is not taken seriously by anyone. Sanjay then begins to scheme. He organises a bachelor party for Rohit and all the men in the family. Rohit ends up completely drunk. He picks up on the fact that Sanjay is out to stop his marriage and vows to make sure that Sanjay fails in this. Sanjay and Riya try to make Anjali jealous to make her understand she loves him. At Anjali's Mehendi ceremony, Riya tells Anjali that she and Sanjay were never lovers. Anjali reveals that she loved Sanjay all her life, but the latter never understood it but considered her as only his best friend. Rohit is heartbroken when he learns of this. Rohit tells Anjali's mom that she and her daughter had the same choice for Anjali's groom; Anjali always wanted Sanjay to marry Anjali from deep within their hearts. Knowing his absence at her wedding, Anjali leaves for Mumbai to meet Sanjay in her bridal dress. She asks him why he left. Sanjay expresses his love for her, saying that he can't see her marrying anyone else. Finally, both express their love for each other. Even though Rohit fails in his challenge, he is happy for their love. Sanjay and Anjali marry, and Rohit and Ria sing and dance at their best friend's wedding.

Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the film 2 stars out of 5, writing "On the whole, MERE YAAR KI SHAADI HAI is a decent entertainer that should appeal more to the city audience."^[9] Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com wrote "Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai is good, lighthearted, clean entertainment. It might just prove a welcome break from the two films on Shaheed Bhagat Singh releasing the same day.^[10] Derek Elley of Variety wrote "At every level (casting, budget, songs, production values), pic is one notch down from a Chopra super-production, but it still makes a fine entry-level Bollywood pic. And anyone who thinks “Monsoon Wedding” was actually representative of contemporary Bollywood should just take a look at the real thing here.^[11] Manish Gajjar of BBC.com wrote "My advice is that you take heed of Yash Chopra's offer because this invitation is definitely not going to disappoint when it releases at UCI Telford with English subtitles."^[12]
