Mere Baap Pehle Aap

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.

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.

What I liked about this film is that the comedy is grounded and not over the top and what really worked was the sweet chemistry between Akshaye and Paresh as father son duo.

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?

Having watched a lot of promos of this movie, I must say that I was not disappointed. A movie by Priyadarshan means that it would have some good comedy side to it and what more when one has Akshaye Khanna and Paresh Rawal.

Janardhan Wishvandhar is a widower who seems to have spent his life bringing up two children, Chirag and Gauarav. The latter is the one who decides to take care of his father and looks after him in such a way that at times he has to bail him out of prison for stripping in a Police station with his notorious friend, Madhav, to shouting at him and at times locking him up. Chirag in the meantime is totally henpecked husband. This all goes on until a girl decides to play pranks on Gaurav and Janardhan meets an ex - flame.

The movie stars Akshaye Khanna, Paresh Rawal, Om Puri, Genelia DeSouza and Rajpal Yadav, Manoj Joshi and Naseerudin Shah in a special appearance and is directed by Priyadarshan.

This is perhaps one of the best movies that have been released this year - it has both comedy and emotional drama which at times is rare to find in a movie these days. Akshaye Khanna as usual is good as are Paresh Rawal and Om Puri as well as Genelia DeSouza. A couple of tunes are also decent to listen to (which makes a change) Conclusion: A film well worth watching.
