Mere Baap Pehle Aap

The movie is far too long, and with no real legs (plot) to stand on, it straddles your mind like a colossal headache. There should be a law to bar Genelia from 'acting'. The film is riddled with clichéd situations and the plot itself meanders from one dead end to another. Songs are passable at the best, irritating most of the times. Characters played by Rajpal Yadav, Shobana and Naseerudin are an insult to these talented actors.

Dialogues are not as bad as the rest of the movie. In fact, at times they carry the movie forward. Akshay does a decent enough job, mainly due to his histrionic skills and direction from Priyadarshan.

Only saving grace is Paresh Rawal. As the elderly dad and then as the 'young' lad, he brings out his range of skills.

Is (was) this the death of Priyadarshan's comedy?

Priyadrashan + Paresh Rawal + Akshay Khanna..........u expect a gr8 time pass and some really funny lines as in the past movies like Hulchul, Hungama etc. But this time Priyan really fails to give a full time pass movie. Although there are some really funny moments (Om Puri as always at best), but those few moments does not make a watchable flick. Story is a typical boolywood masala one so i don't think , i need to write anything on that. About acting part, Akshay is dependable, Paresh goes overhead, Rajpal Yadav is a complete waste, Genzil D'silva, i was not expecting much from her so OK, Om Puri is best.

if you are going in with preset mind of watching a Priyadarshan comedy then you might not appreciate the film. the performances are good. Om Puri stands out. Akshaye and Paresh are good and share a nice chemistry in father and son relationship. Jeneliya has looked cute and justice to her character( though there was not much for her to do)

if one goes for it with open mind without any presets then he/she would love the flick.

i would recommend do go for it at least once, as there are not many in Hindi cinema which shows father and son relationship and that too in this beautiful manner.

Once again a great movie from Priyadarshan ! Cheers ! Comedy in Indian movies have truly matured its really heartening to note that such entertaining movies are "Made in India".

For an out of the world entertaining experience just go and watch the movie. Paresh Raval is great as always, Akshaye Khanna has carved a niche for himself and to see him in this movie as yet another entertainer is a delight. Other actors have also done their best. Good teamwork generally.

The most refreshing experience is Genelia D'Souza, she's ultimate what a innocent, smiling look. She carries on her role all through the movie with great efficiency. She's the best. I watched the movie twice to see her again ! So for all this congrats to Priyadarshan and team and await more and more like this from them in coming years.

Priyadarshan always gives us a message, you just have to look for it and this film is no different. This is definitely a story that needs to be told. Paresh Rawal is so sincere in this role, and his portrayal of Janardhan is just heartfelt. Him and akshaye share a cute chemistry as father and son. The songs are hit and miss. The song filmed on akshaye-genelia is atrocious. Genelia is sweet in her role but noting to write home about. Om Puri is really good and his characters serves to enhance the story and underline what janardhan is experiencing. If you like movies where the parents and their struggle is highlightes (think Baghban) this might be for you.
