Saqib Saleem,Ram Kapoor.

If you liked "Khosla ka Ghosla", you would surely love this family entertainer. I missed this movie when it was in the theaters but saw it at my friends place. Its a classic Shakespearean plot where everything is a mess until the climax. Acting all around was commendable and everybody portrayed their part as the role demanded. Special mention- The lead lady "Rhea" may seem to be a bit challenged in acting but when you think more you will realise that she portrayed the "bimbo beauty" role pretty well and that demanded such expressions initially but her character grew as the film proceeds. Frankly speaking, this movie was sure must watch with friends in the cinemas but i missed that opportunity.

20th Centuary is quickly evolving as promising decade with so many upcoming directors whose films are made on shoe-string budget yet is light-heart entertainer. Mere Dad ki Maruti falls into this category. Beautifully shot in the city of Chandigarh imbibed by Punjabi culture, Mere Dad ki Maruti delivers wholesome fun-filled ride with routine song-dance.

Sameer wants to impress his girlfriend and takes her out for a joyride in the brand new car, supposed to be gifted his brother-in-law by his father Tej. In the nick of time , he accidentally looses the car. Sameer must eventually discover the vehicle before his father blast him.

New time director , Ashima Chibber does a fine job in creating a hell of a ride as Sameer finds different ways to save himself. This film will be more enjoyable if you are from North India as you can relate well with the culture and language. Screenplay will make sure you sit tight throughout the film and laugh until you cry out. Editing could have been further trimmed by cutting down unnecessary songs. Cinematography is excellent. Dialogues are funny though sometimes difficult to understand ( sometimes hardcore Punjabi). Performances by Saqeeb Salim and Ram Kapoor drives the whole film. Their chemistry as father son is amazing and will surely go down well with audience. The actor who played friend of Sameer was also impressive.

Overall , very likable and feel-good entertainer. Must watch . Good 3/5

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.

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.
