They just knew what the cinema lovers craved. Moreover, Biwi No. 1 was a dream team come true! Karisma, Salman sir, Sushmita, Anil Sir, Tabu – everyone brought their A-game. No wonder it’s still such a hit & nostalgic for different generations. I feel very happy that Pooja Entertainment chose to bring this film to cibemas.”
