Mere Dad Ki Maruti

Sure, some people might not like it. Since, from the posters and promo, it does not really tell a person what the movie is really about. It just says Mere Dad Ki Maruti. (My dad's Maruti car). You don't get an idea about what the movie is going to be about. Similarly, when I had seen the poster, I wasn't really moved by it, to go see the film. I went because of Ram Kapoor. He is a talented veteran actor and one of my favourites.

I wanted to watch Jolly LLB instead of MDKM, but went for it. I am so glad I did. Every penny's worth, this movie. I might have liked it even more, because I am a Punjabi and I could relate to the whole film so much. Loved the wedding background to the film's story, loved the cast, loved the acting, loved the dialogues. I am so glad, it was a CLEAN, FUN, FAMILY ENTERTAINER. We do need those once in a while to watch. Liked that there wasn't any kisses or anything, or cheap dialogues, unlike other comedy films that come out which rely on cheap slapstick humour to do well and gain audience's attention.

It was light-hearted fun and boy did it entertain. I won't hesitate to go again and watch it. I even suggested this film to everyone I know. It is a must watch, at least once. If you are a Punjabi, you just have to watch it. The whole cinema was laughing and through out the film, people were laughing. The film talks about how youngsters make mistakes and how to get over that mistake, we grow up in the process. It is a good comedy with a message attached. Do not expect too much from this film, but it will entertain you.

The best part about the film, is the soundtrack. THIS IS ONE FILM WHICH HAS AMAZING SONGS. All of the songs in the film rock. From Haay, Mai Senti Hoon, to Hip Hip Huraah (the really catchy item song) - to even the title track. It is a rocking soundtrack, which is deffo car playable material.

Ashima Chibber's 'Mere Dad Ki Maruti' is A Decent Entertainer! A Goofy, Harmless film, that needs to be viewed with limited expectations.

'Mere Dad Ki Maruti' Synopsis: A reckless son loses his eccentric dad's Maruti, only to create problems for himself.

'Mere Dad Ki Maruti' has rib-tickling moments, which, truly, do the trick. The Screenplay is fairly entertaining & its crisp, it never drags. Ashima Chibber's Direction is youthful. Cinematography & Editing are average. Music by Sachin Gupta is appropriate.

Performance-Wise: Saqib Saleem does a decent job. Ram Kapoor is splendid. He plays the eccentric dad with great energy & enthusiasm. Prabal Panjabi is terrific. He contributes enormously in the narrative & takes away the best scenes as well. Rhea Chakraborty is alright. She needs proper grooming. Ravi Kishan stands out in a brief role.

On the whole, 'Mere Dad Ki Maruti' is harmless & crisp.

Mere Dad Ki Maruti (U/A) Hindi ---------------- my Rating : ★★★★ ENJOYABLE RIDE STRENGTHS : - * Climax : complete laugh riot and ends in few sentiments ..... * Story and Direction : very interesting till end ...... * Song : Punjabiyaan Di Battery and Title track..... * Casting and Performance : were great by all especially the supporting role "GUTTU"........ * Screenplay and Comedy sequences : are completely enjoyable till end ..... * Length of the movie : runs 102 mins .. short and sweet...... WEAKNESSES : - * Music and Background Score : songs were boring and complete pack of Punjabi songs.... * 5 mins after interval was not clearly explained..... FINAL VERDICT : - * It is a clean complete youth entertainer ..... it is a must watch all college goers ..... so it can be watched more than once ... Enjoy this will not disappoint you ... The movie is about Sameer who sneaks his dad's fancy new car out to impress the college hottie played by Rhea Chakraborty. All hell breaks loose when Sameer manages to lose the car! Saqib Saleem,Ram Kapoor.

It had all the makings of "Band Bajaa Baraat", sadly it has too too many ingredients cramming into. The pace of the proceedings, the layers and the number of sub-plots fused into the narrative makes the comedy turns into confusion. Seriously the director should have first built the premise on a track or two and layered it as you go along.

Saqib Saleem attempts hard and to a certain extent makes himself noticeable. Otherwise a poor man's "Ranveer Singh".

Rhea is loud with zero acting abilities. A few of her costumes is atrocious.

Ram Kapoor is over-the-top. His character should have been fleshed out before getting into the ranting spree at every available opportunity.

Ravi Kishan stands out with his dialogue delivery and performance.

The writing on the wall is clear, the production house has fabricated the Mika-Honey Singh controversy just to garner publicity. Nonetheless a few tracks stand out.

Save your money to watch it on when aired on telly anytime soon and you have nothing more productive to do.

PS: And yes too much Punjabi in the movie can be a sore thumb.

A 90 minute film about an Boy who lost his dad maruti Car which was meant to be for his Sister wedding Gift. There isn't much in story,most of the laugh comes from the punjabi language and flavour this film holds. The funniest scenes are between the Dad ram kapoor and Son Saqib Salem,the daughter dancing scene and scenes between saqib and his friend Gattu played by veer das look alike Prabal punjabi. The songs are decent,The whole Ravi kishen storyline added was Bad and probably wasn't needed. It is an decent watch,which can you watch with your friends,nothing special or extraordinary about it. It doesn't stand out as any laugh out loud funny movie. OK for one time watch.
