'Mera Baap Pehle Aap' is directed by Priyadarshan. The name Priyadarshan is synonymous with
comic fares. It instantaneously conjures up images of several entertaining films he has
attempted over the years. Naturally, you expect his new outing 'Mera Baap Pehle Aap' to be a
joyride as well.
Sure, 'Mera Baap Pehle Aap' has its share of light moments that make you chuckle, even break
into laughter, but it's not a laughathon from start to end. From the interval point onwards,
right till the finale, the focus shifts to drama, making the goings on serious at
times.
Write your own movie review of 'Mere Baap Pehle Aap' One factor that goes against the film is
its length. The concept is truly novel for the Hindi screen at least but how one wishes Priyan
would've controlled its length. Movies of 2 to 2.15 hours duration are fine, but 2.40 hours
(add to it the promos of new films, plus interval makes it a 3 hour outing) is strictly no no
in today's times. Priyan should've brought down the length for sure.
Despite hiccups, 'Mera Baap Pehle Aap' has endearing moments that work to its advantage. In a
nutshell, it had the potential to rise to the level of Garam Masala, Bhagam Bhag and Bhool
Bhilaiya, but it eventually ends. And what happens hereafter is to be seen on the
screen.
Performances:
In this movie the Akshaye Khanna is acted well. He is acted upto the mark only. In the movie
with just attitude and style good and not bad. Shobhana did her best. The script was Average
and the screenplay was not bad, not much happened from the music and the camera departments,
the songs were just a upto the mark only, camera could not get much from the locations or the
artistes, editing was Average. Shobhana, Paresh Rawal, Om Puri, Rajpal Yadav, Manoj Joshi,
Genelia Dsouza, Archana Puran Singh and others did their bit mechanically and did not have
much to add value.
Verdict:Average |  |
