Absolute Entertainment!! Full of comedy and absolutely the best remake of MRS DOUBTFIRE.

I saw this film for a comedy class and throughly enjoyed it. It is the only Hindi movie I have ever seen, and it was excellent. It is somewhat similar to the movie, Mrs. Doubtfire, however, there are many style and plot differences. It is funnier than the original without losing the touching family side of the story. It centers around a man, a film choreographer, who loses his daughter when he and his wife get a divorce. She moves back home and he eventually sees an ad to be his daughter's caretaker. He ends up enchanting the family with his super "woman" feats. He also catches the affections of the father of the ex-wife. Very long, but the movie is great from beginning to end. 9 out of 10

I LOVED this movie! I have just recently discovered Bollywood films and this one was on TV recently. It was much funnier than Mrs. Doubtfire with less goofiness and none of that hit-you-over-the head type of audience pandering. Even as a Black girl sitting at home I was able to understand and laugh at 100% of this movie. It's not often that I have the patience to sit and watch a movie that runs for 3+ hours but the complexities and hilarity were so well blended that I felt myself drawn to the screen. Not only did it have my rapt attention but I had to READ the entire thing so you know it's good when... Someone commented that they bought it on DVD and now that I know it's available I will do the same!

Well scripted, superbly acted and absolutely funny. I don't remember a movie in which legends of Indian cinema, Amrish Puri, Om Puri, Paresh Rawal, Johny Walker, Nasser and Kamal Hassan came together in a comedy.

It is a laugh riot, and it will make you forget all your worries for a moment.

Kamal Haasan has directed this superb movie where he disguises as a woman to win back his ex-wife and daughter from the father in law. It has many funny and extremely hilarious moments throughout the movie and is my go to movie multiple number of times. The music by Vishal Bhardwaj is like a breath of fresh air and add to it the lyrics of Gulzaar sahab provide an subtle touche. Kamal Hassan has excelled in the titular character and is a complete genius. The support cast with their perfect comic timing are a treat to watch.. Kudos to Om Puri, Amrish Puri, Nassar and Paresh Rawal. They keep the humor going throughout. Worth repeat watching!
