Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

silvan-desouza There was a time post HERA PHERI(2000) when Priyan's name itself brought huge of audiences and the films worked Be it HUNGAMA, HULCHUL, GARAM MASALA, MALAAMAL WEEKLY though most were copies of south films yet there worked at the BO But off late his comedies are become dull with mostly the same jokes, same actors cast He has the same cast too he repeats This film is also a remake and has a thin story and the handling is so boringThe film leaves you bored with the loud gags which mostly fall flat and the drama which gets to the nervesDirection is ordinary Music is okayAmongst actors Akshaye with a bad wig frowns and screams tirelessly and is decent towards the end Paresh is getting repetitive now and Om Puri though has some moments is miscast Genelia's release just before JTYJN and she wasn't that good here Naseeruddin Shah is okay in a brief role, Shobana is okay Rajpal is wasted, Archana Puran Singh is loud

Ipsit Bibhudarshi "Mere Baap Pehle Aap"is a refreshing treat from the 'Comedy King' Priyadarshan.The film is a wonderful combination of hilarious events and emotional play.It is about sweet relationship between a father and his son,but unlike the familiar ones this one is the other way round. Gaurav(Akshaye Khanna) rules over his father Janardhan Wishvambhar Rane(Paresh Rawal) advising him with "dos and don-ts"and also decides the latter's course of life .He even chides him whenever Rane does any mistake like a small kid.Madhav Mathur(Om Puri) is a pal of Rane who is badly in search of a bride and invites trouble wherever he goes.Story sails smoothly and is a fun ride with comic timings and witty dialog's from all the characters till the interval when Rane meets Anuradha(Shobhana)and his life takes a turn with long past memories rushing in.Sheekha(Genelia D'souza),an old friend of Gourav meets him after long time and along with him helps to unite the two,Anuradha and Rane and falling herself in love with Gaurav in the process.The second half changes into an emotional phase dealing with love,relations and sacrifice.The film solely revolves and focuses around Akshaye Khanna and Paresh Rawal who were outstanding with their performances.Their chemistry is superb as we had seen in films like Hulchul and Hungama.Rawal is subdued unlike his earlier forms and has fewer dialog's yet his role speak volumes.Akshaye Khanna continues to prove that he is a master at comedies.Ompuri in his new avatar as a go free person will be treat for the audience.Good old Rajpal Yadav is entertaining in the lone scene he appears.Shobhana is good but not up-to the mark.Genelia D'souza is the only weak link in the film lacking the punch in the dialog delivery and her charming smile couldn't overshadow her weak histrionics.Nasserudin Shah in his special appearance as Sheekha's father is perfect as ever in oscillating between a good and a shady character.Music director Vidyasagar is good at patches thanks to the rocking song "Isq Subhanallah" which has already become a hit.Priyardarshan needs a special mention who has done brilliant job blending comedy and emotions in the right proportion.This film is a not a total comedy flick but backed by good story and screenplay.The director needs kudos for his work.The film is better than many other big budget films released this year.The audience will just love it.

kooleshwar It was the turn of the millennium, a well known director/producer from the south teamed up with a solid team of amateurs as well as some well established names and gave us perhaps one of the GREATEST QUIESSENTIALLY Indian COMEDY THIS SIDE OF THE 80S.And he never looked up again.The downhill journey started with the golden team of Neeraj Vora and Priyadarshan who raped one English movie after the other and claimed it to be their. AND THE CLUELESS Indian AUDIENCE WATCHED AND LAUGHED, AND ONCE AGAIN AFTER NEARLY 5 YEARS PEOPLE WERE LAUGHING AT THE GOVINDA BRAND OF HUMOUR.Which was exactly a bad thing, i loved the a few of the original Govinda comedies (favourite being Deewane Mastane), and if had seen too many good English movies THAN I CAN TAKE A HIKE.But sooner than later the audience woke up to the loosely edited copy-paste jobs and the popularity of his movie began to wane.And yet people continued to be fooled and were drawn to the cinemas by stellar cast especially Akshay Kumar.But then he did the unthinkable, he dropped Akshay Kumar and that resulted in the culmination of all his past mistakes THIS.The movie has nothing going for it.The acting is merely OK with stellar performers like Paresh Rawal and Om Puri finally loosing out to a weak script, Akshay Kumar was merely good at his best and you can only imagine was a weak movie like this will do, GENELIA LOOKED SPARKLING BUT HER ACTING TALENT IS NOT QUITE UPTO THE MARK, the chemistry was non-existent between almost everybody, THE SPARK WAS MISSING COMPLETELY FROM THE FATHER SON DUO WHICH WAS MOST IMPORTANT.The music is quite bad and adds nothing to the movie, the to add insult to injury the songs are misplaced.Even though the concept had potential the script is weaker than most slapsticks, THE ENTIRE MATURE LOVE STORY WAS AS BAD AS HAVING UNDERCOOKED SEAFOOD (which i don't eat since I'm vegetarian).And then there is the humour itself which was humorous for all of 10 mins in the first half and 15 mins in the entire movies,LETS NOT MENTION THE PRESENCE OF RAJPAL YADAV (i just did hehe).AN In-depth ANALYSIS OF THE MOVIES SHORTCOMINGS WILL CLEARLY RUN INTO PAGES SO LETS GET THE TO GOOD PARTS AND THE CONCLUSION.Genelia looks fresh and enticing, even looks sexy in a few scenes, acting could improve though.Om Puri is actually funny in most scenes.Some scenes promise and almost deliver.Conclusion A MOVIE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DECENT DRAMA IF THERE WAS REALLY ANY. Definitely not a comedy, avoid unless your a super Genelia fan (ARE there are any?).-s no drama, no comedy, ordinary acting, bad songs, wasted potential.+/-s had potential??!!!.+s Genelia Dsouza, Om Puri, 15 mins of fun.total 4/10 (only because i expected very less, fell even below my low expectations, REALLY I HOPE THIS IS A WAKE UP CALL FOR PRIYADARSHAN WHO HAD ONCE PROMISED US THE WORLD).

Pratik Jasani 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.
