Aap Ki Marzi (transl. As You Please) is 1939 Hindi romantic comedy film directed by Sarvottam Badami.[1] The film was produced under the Sudama Productions banner. The music composer was Gyan Dutt with lyrics credited to Pyare Lal Santoshi and S. P. Kalla. It starred Motilal, Sabita Devi, Khursheed, K. N. Singh, Mazhar Khan, Vasanti and Sunalini Devi.[2] This was director Badami's second comedy film; he had earlier directed the comedy Teen Sau Din Ke Baad (1938) which turned out be a box office success.[3] Aap Ki Marzi was based on the MGM produced, Edward Buzzell directed film Paradise for Three (1938), itself adapted from Erich Kästner's novel Three Men in the Snow.[4]

The film is the story of an unemployed youth played by Motilal who wins the first prize in a crossword puzzle and the romantic-comic situations that arise thereafter.
