mere baap pehle aap : Review

If it is a Priyadarshan film, then you have a reason to watch it – Comedy. Yes Mere Baap Pehle Aap does not disappoint you. It is a comedy film but with some flare of emotion and drama as well. So if you are going to watch this film keeping comedy in mind, please don’t go. But if you are admirer of Priyadarshan’s class comedy, go for it.

Janaradhan [Paresh Rawal] has spent his life bringing up his two kids, Chirag [Manoj Joshi] and Gaurav [Akshaye Khanna]. Now when the duo has grown up, Gaurav takes up the responsibility of his father. Gaurav doesn’t like his father’s company with Madhav (Om Puri).

Madhav and Janaradhan, who are always in search of a bride for Madhav, forever land up in trouble and every time Gaurav has to bail them out and face the embarrassment. Gaurav starts getting prank calls from a girl who turns out to be his old college friend Shikha [Genelia D'Souza]. Shikha is staying with her guardian Anuradha [Shobhana], who happens to be Janardhan's first love.

Now Gaurav wants his father to get married to his lost love.....
Mere Baap Pahle Aap is an enjoyable movie. Paresh Rawal and Om Puri are excellent. Akshaye Khanna’s act is equally good. Rajpal Yadav didn’t get much scope to perform, he is eventually wasted. Genelia looks cute in this film. She has the ability to become a star. Naseeruddin Shah has performed well, so as Manoj Joshi. Rest of the cast is okey!

Cinmetography is very well executed. Some the shots of Kerala are amazing. Music is big let down. Dialogues are enjoyable. All and all can be viewed for once. Yes, you should not wait for the DVD release. Go get a ticket.
