BAAP RE BAAP
Sep 28, 2010 11:45 AM 2889 Views

Ohhhh where to start. BAAP RE BAAP...This movie is horrible. If you have seen this movie for 20 rs then even u have lost ur money. It's a story of a son(akhsaye khanna) and his father(paresh rawal) and fathers womaniser friend(om puri) whose bride ran away from the mandap.


So he is searching for a woman..I don't know when the story from om puri shifter to paresh rawal. Akhsaye khanna is treating his father just like a servant in the whole film and see the emotions he tell her girlfriend (a totally extrovert girl who can be of anybody) that his mother died at the time of his birth and its his BAPU(akhsyae told this word 500 times) who brought him up with great care and that's why he keeps giving him a lot of taunts ...


I cannot expect such a bad performance from a great actor OMPURI and a great comedian PARESH rawal. It seems that even good actors have to bow down before money.


Now the good part of this movie..the ending..no no the climax is not good but at least the movie ends (as it is a compulsion. A movie can't go on for infinity otherwise the director wld have done it also)


I will give this movie 1/4th star. It's better to see this movie on VCD. Otherwise ...u know that.


A good family entertaining movie
Oct 23, 2009 01:48 PM 2748 Views

This Movie is an typical priyadarshan movie with his favourite stars Paresh rawal, Om Puri, Akshay Khanna and rajpal yadav.


Comedy is really very good in movie, and it also shows great father son relationship. This is a complete family movie which you can enjoy with your whole family, though the music is not such good, but I am sure you are gonna enjoying this movie.


About actors part, Akshay again did his best and Paresh shows his great talent in emotion here, Om Puri is funny, Genelia rocks in her role, Rajpal yadav and Archana Puransingh was good in their part but was hardly there. The movie was an average one from earning point of view, but if you are looking for a goof family movie, then its a must watch. I will rate this 6/10. Today Priyadarshan is the only Director/ Producer who is making complete family entertainment and comedy movies.

Maaf Karde Mere Baap
Jul 01, 2008 12:25 AM 3063 Views

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 QUINTESSENTIALLY 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).


Welcome refinement to Bollywood
Jun 22, 2008 05:21 PM 3061 Views

I am convinced that we're moving towards making world class movies. We're not there yet, but we sure are getting there.


I heard a lot of people speak about how disappointed they were about this movie. I know not why!Ok, let's take some guesses. Priyadarshan: That name draws crowds looking for dumb canned laughter and nothing else. I can understand why many thought it was too serious and boring. Also, Paresh Rawal had a predefined role in the minds of people: that of a funny man whose each utterance is a joke.


I usually don't write reviews for movies, and I don't exactly admire Priyadarshan's comedy. I went for this movie because I needed a means to kill time. I had no preset expectations from this movie.


But what I actually got was a pleasant surprise!  A movie that is meaningful, funny and touching at the same time!


Paresh Rawal showed that he can play a serious role(while still being funny). Om Puri was as versatile as ever. Akshaye Khanna fitted perfectly in the picture! Though a little unreal, I thought it was really funny how Akshaye Khanna(son) reverse-lectures Paresh Rawal(father) on subjects like dignity. Rajpal Yadav wasn't seen all that much, but the few minutes of his presence were brilliant.


There were some parts of the movie that were extremely unrealistic. There were too many coincidences. Archana Puran Singh was a little too animated. The scenes with the college boys making fun of the two old men was extremely childish. It was as though they had known of the arrival of the two men for very long and had practiced shouting those slogans in chorus. It reminded me of the Popeye Show!


Genelia's body language was amazing, but she needs to work on her Hindi and her speaking style. As someone said sometime, 'Acting is the art of pretending that you are not pretending while you're actually pretending':-) The pretending in her case was quite obvious!


Barring Genelia and Archana Puran Singh, I think the movie was brilliant. I think Priyadarshan should leave behind his older(dumber) genre of comedy and go on to make more intelligent comedies such as this one.


Sweet and simple comedy to make u smile
Jun 18, 2008 04:25 PM 3539 Views

After the recent chaotic onslaught from Priyadarshan like Hera Pheri,


Bhool bhulaiya which have been nothing short of noise pollution, I was


pretty wary of catching his latest inspite of Akshaye going on and on


on various channels about how different it is...but this movie comes as


a much awaited pleasant surprise from an accomplished director.


THis movie is sweet and cohesive enough to garner few genuine laughs


along the way. Its also a heart warmer at the end of it.The biggest


strength according to me was that the cast had few characters and they


interact with each other in sensible situations. Comedy recently has


become nothing but a multistarrer melting pot of confusion where


different parties are running after each other with all chasiing some


elusive pot of gold/money.


THis film is more of a social comedy with a very strong camaraderie and


relationship between the father and son played expertly by Paresh rawal


and Akshaye Khanna. The story unfolds like this. Akshaye is an


engineering graduate turned resourceful entrepreneur with his own


superstore. His father is his soulmate cum cook cum mother cum father


cum companion all rolled into one. The father never remarried for his


son's sake and the son shares a great respect and rapport with him in


return. Then Genelia, an old classmate turns up on the scane and what


follows is a nice section with pranks and naughtiness. Meanwhile during


a wedding Paresh chances upon his exflame played by Shobhana of south


fame and the latter half of the story questions the issues of old age


marriage, children proactively arranging parents marriage and is it


love that makes the world go round?


Much to my amusement the same Paresh who went to extreme ends to ward


off the oldie Amitabh from his Tabu in cheeni kum returns in role


reversal here and its his son who actively engages in getting him


maritally resettled much to the chagrin of his old  relatives and his


older bahu. Paresh is in excellent form as the father who gets into


embarrasing situations for which he is not responsible. Much of the


discredit for that goes to his bosom pal, Om Puri who is a paunchy old


rascal hitting the colleges to find his virginal soulate.His is a gross


and exaggerated character and Om has not carried it off well.  One


shudders to think of the death of the fine actor in such ridiculous


roles.


Genelia Dsouza has already attained some success in south indian films


and therefore comes across as over confident in her telly


interviews.The same is apparent in hindi debut and shes easily over the


top, especially glaring in the face of the restrained and mature acting


by Paresh and Akshaye. But she definitely has screen presence and will


enjoy a good innings in Bollywood. Wish someone had dubbed her voice


with more finesse. She screeches in a accented HIndi.


Then there is Archana Puran Singh who does a take off on the FIR


policewoman, Ms Chautala  who is out to nab every eve teaser in town


and hits upon with alarming regularity on the friendly duo of Paresh


and Om while the latter hunts for his bride. She is good as the loud,


cackling hen she is shown to be. Shobhana  shines like a gracegul gem


in the few scenes she has. MOre of her should have been there,


considering she plays the love interest of the lead " baap" and after


whose marriage the film has been named.


Akshaye carries the role off with understanding and panache. He shows


fine balance between the dramatic and comic scenes. I particularly


liked the interplay of father and son in that palatial empty


shouse(shares by just the 2 old bachelors) where they enact their


mutual drama with infinite respect for each other's space. Its like a


play stage that requires great acting skills to fill the empty spaces


around with few props and cameos to distract. Music is also hummable


and the cimatography is also above average thus making it  a pleasant


cinematic  experience..


A fun film to watch with your family, free of vulgarity having good doses of romance, genuine comedy, social message and sincere performances  by the lead of baap and beta.

Mere baap, pahele aap "is heroine ko nikalo.."
Jun 17, 2008 09:02 PM 6667 Views

She reminded me of Sridevi [and Rajanikanth] two people I can remember who's hindi is slightly funny, but her's is not funny at all, it's irritating, so is her acting [where she is trying to be bubbly but end up being loud and irritating].. Atleast Sridevi and Rajanikanth are great actors, which nullify the effect of the language issues.


Apart from the heroine, the movie is quiet watchable.. funny even!


The plot revolves around the relationship between father [the legend Paresh Raval] and son [Akshey khanna]. Where father is always stuck with his romeo friend [Om puri] in odd situation involving girls and Lady ACP [Archana puran Singh], and son always end up saving them and lecturing the father about morals and how he is disgraced him and how he is ashamed of being son of a sleazy father [It actually is really funny as you will see the father/son relationship totally opposite of normal, where son is lacturing father about values, moral and how he [the father]  is a disgrace to him due to his habit of chasing girls :-) ]... In the acting front Paresh Raval as always is a star and helarious, sometimes we feel sorry for him as it's because of his friend [om puri] he is getting into all these troubles.. Akshey khanna is again good and has done his part faithfully.


Om puri has a small but filling role as 55 year old bachelor who keeps on looking for women for marriage and getting into trouble [and taking Paresh Raval with him].


One last comment on the dialog writer of Priyadarshan movies, Mate, It's really getting annoying hearling all the derogatory remarks among the characters of the movie [just like after a while watching all pakistani dramas like "bakra kiston pe" you will feel irritated by all the derogatory remarks by the characters to the other characters] remarks like "abe bhais ki pucch" etc.. well after a while it's not funny anymore... So an advice for next time, please create humour by writing genuinely funny dialogs rather than the derogatory remarks or calling names to the people, I know you have it in you [the script writer] as you have wrote really funny lines in many Priyadarshan movies, so next time try to refrain from calling names to people and create genuine humour.


All and all a fun movie to watch. Barring music and the heroine.

Mere Baap Pehle Aap: A review
Jun 16, 2008 07:40 PM 2707 Views

The movie opened to cinemas without much fanfare in midst of not-so-catchy trailers and thumbs down reviews. Even my decision to watch this movie was driven by a non-availability of tickets for others. All fears of a goofy, slapstick comedy with cheap songs were coming to fore with the cameo that the movie started with. End of the why-was-it-there Cameo.


Enter Om Puri who plays the role of Madhav Mathur, an oldie bachelor who is desperate to get married. The actor makes a bad cut in the character with his acting talents severely suffocated. He is the friend of Janardhan Rane, played well by Paresh Rawal whose son Gaurav (Akshay Khanna) is the owner of a mall.


First few minutes are wasted as the director tries to tickle you hard (without much success) with putting Madhav and Janardhan in almost unconceivable situations that might seem funny for someone with a bad humor.


The storyline suddenly gets a breath of fresh air with the arrival of Genelia D'souza (Shikha Kapoor) who is playing pranks on Gaurav for reasons only the story unfolds. And Priyadarshan has taken us into his charm again. Only this time Genelia's warm smile coming to rescue with a few thoughtfully sprinkled and effective comic sequences. You might actually fall off laughing during some scenes.


Boy meets girl. Gaurav meets Shikha. But in what fashion. The girl taking a revenge for college ragging years ago by pretending to be a ditched girlfriend who happens to be the mother of Gaurav's baby even. Cute, eh? Laughter scores as Gaurav runs berserk trying to find out who is behind his discomfiture. The plight is set straight by the girl and the guy takes it sportingly. But they do not fall in love immediately. Not the girl. But ofcourse the girl gets emotionally attached with Gaurav's father, Baapu. Something is surely brewing.


A humorous first half transforms into a semi-pseudo-serious second half. The much ado is actually about Paresh Rawal's long lost love Anuradha, played by Shobhana, who is incidentally Shikha's aunt. Not much of a role for Shobhana though, the situation does bring up social issues like the remarrying of the elderly and the general apathy towards love marriages.


Priyadarshan is able to handle the issue quite beautifully. Now Gaurav and Shikha will bring them together, against all odds. And fall in love in doing so. The story meanders okay, , keeping you tied to the seats, waiting for the ensuing excitement. Amid all the chaos, hulla-bulla, comedy, and some unexciting cha cha between Gaurav & Shikha and Janardhan & Anuradha, Madhav (Om Puri) continues to look for an eligible spinster and always landing in one or the other perplexity with some in your face slapstick comedy moments. In the end though, he is able to hitch up with Inspector Bhawani (played hilariously well by Archana Puran Singh) as they spent so much time together in the police station, the Inspector eternally picking him up from his misadventures.

Genelia, Genelia and only Genelia

Well, This review one may find 'odd man out' but certainly, I liked the movie. Don't go for the title that sounds so ridiculous (in that way, titles like MunnaBhai MBBS, HeraPheri sounds too interesting????). The only pitfall I found about the movie is the 'treatment' Akshaye gives to his father all the time.


Well, here, parents may not like it the way he behaves with his father but then, at end, he proves to be the best son!! Coming to the point Genelia is the girl that may make me to watch movie one more time!!!!


Well, don't jump out of your pants..! It is true and if you are reading this before watching movie, kindly pay attention to Genelia and only Genelia. Kindly note her each movement, gestures and 'eye' talking!!! She is indeed gorgeous but again, it all depends upon the LUCK (well,


read further for this on https://mouls-themousepotato.blogspot.com for


detailed RESEARCH...LOL). A voice that was rejected first by ALL INDIA


RADIO saying that youf voice is not fit to broadcast on radio is now


the godfather of bollywood (hope you know this guy...!!!!). Rani


Mukherji, a girl with the voice of a person who has xenophonia!!! is


doing so great nowadays. Well, Rani was given someone else's voice in


her '`turning point movie' - Ghulam. So, my point is Genelia is sexy


cum beautiful cum cute cum innocent.. (lol... I am too much into her


right..!) and you MUST watch the movie just to see her presentation.


All the best...!

I would say that although the film story is a bit nonsensical and the dialogues are vulgar but if you ask me the films min job is to entertain people and give people their moneys worth and this one certainly does that as I havent laughed this much in a comedy film after lage raho munnabhai although the big difference is that munnabhai was brilliant in all departments while this one can be watched for its buffanory as it is hillarious and trademark priyadarshan.


The film has brittle storyline, weak screenplay, poor music but good acting by its lead actors and would also like to add that the film has the feel of two act plays as the actors are talking at the top of their voices and in most of the scenes there are not more than two characters in the frme so my advice would be that go and enjoy this film but keep your brains and children at home as this one is a situational comedy in the mould of kya kool hai hum


story


the film story mainly revolves around two friends janardhan(paresh rawal) and mathur(om puri) who are always on lookout for a bride for mathur as he has been ditched at the wedding by his earlier soon to be wife and always get into trouble doing so as they are always found at wrong place at wrong time and are arrested by the inspector(archana) while there also is gaurav(akshaye) janardhans son who runs a mall and  always talks rudely to his father who is in love with hm and storyline is further carried forward when richa(genelia) enters the scene and wants to avenge the humiliation when she was ragged by gaurav and hences cooks up a false story to harass him but the big twist comes when it is revealved that the teacher(shobhana) with whom the girl lives is actually janardhans former love interest and so the rest of the film is shown with his attempts to woo her back and gauravs attempts to get his father married. I would say that the film pace is good but it is strtched beyond requirement in the climax


best  parts of the film


1-the scene where rajpal goes to deliver threatning letter to rose


2-the scene where rose lands up as gauravs lover


3-the scene where janardan colours his hair


4-the college scene where they are made fun of  by the students


5-the police station scene


worst parts of the film


1-the opening sequence  song of the film


2-the climax


performance


janardhan-paresh rawal is in his element as janardhan and acts well while his getup is eeringly similar to that of lalu prasad yadav


garav-akshaye khanna is good as gaurav and does justice to his role of foul mouthed and disrespectful son


mathur-om puii is ok as skirt chaser old man


rose-genelia  looks good  and is ok but overacts sometimes


teacher-shobhana has little to do  and has  few dialogues and is wasted


archana puran singh is over the top as haryanvi inspector



Nature Sao Tome and Principe
Half a Priyadarsan film
Jun 13, 2008 03:13 AM 5040 Views

Like in a game of chess and in any endures in life, end game is very important.     Whatever good we play our opening game and middle game, if we fail to play well in the end game, we may lose and there will be no reversal.   Mere Baap Pahle Aapis a good example of how a bad endgame pull down the benefits of the opening and middle games.


The film is a story of son (Gaurav – Akshaye Khanna) & a father (Janardhan wishvanbhar Rane – Paresh Rawal).    Rane is the best friend of Mathur (Om Puri), who is desperate to get married in his 50s.   Being a close friend, Rane always go with him where he cannot skip his friend.   To our joy they always land up in some or other troubles.   Gaurav is behind Rane to avoid Mathur.  Gaurav gets an anonymous call herself addressing as his college mate and her name as Rose.  Rose (Sheekha Kapoor – Genelia D’souza) is now after him and she even calls home.   Sheekha is staying with Anuradha (Shobhana), a music professor in Arts college.   Mere Baap Pahle Aaap is all about a father helping his son to get his love a son trying to make his father’s love story to a success.


Director, Priyadarsan succeeded in tickling some funny bones but failed to finish the fine job he was doing in style.    When it come to comedy, the director shown his class and there are certainly a good number of occasions we laugh all out.   Ompuri is the leading hero this time.   Scenes involving Akshay & Paresh Rawal too are impressive.    However, as a complete movie it doesn’t impress as expected.


It is refreshing to see Akshay Khanna on screen.  He is still the fresh young guy.   Good work.   Paresh Rawal is good to watch when he is doing comedy.  However, in scenes which require serious acting he was a misfit.    Om Puri on the other hand was in full form and created more comedy than Paresh Rawal.  It is good to see these two veterans do well together, after Malamaal weekly.     Genelia D’souza is excellent.   I saw her earlier in a Tamil film where she was superb and she carried the same energy to the film.  She didn’t even looks like a new comer, but a confident actress.   Her smiles and naughty gestures all did a fine job for the film.  She is here to stay.   Archana Puran Singh got a small but good role and she did her role well.  Manoj Joshi and Rajpal Yadav were wasted in small roles.  Nasarudheen Shah’s guest appearance was impressive.  I was expecting much from Sobhana from this movie.  She looks good but Priyan should have utilized her dancing skills to mesmerize the audience where she was reduced to a supporting actress.  Neverthless, it was good to see the national award winner onscreen after a long time.   Overall performance is very good.


Music is average.    Ishq subhan allah & Mere Baap are the two numbers which sound good for music…Vidyasagar’s music is not that catch worthy but with beautiful choreography it makes an impression.   Choreography of the movie deserves a special applaud.  Let it be on brilliant sets by Sabu Cyril or beautiful back waters in Kerala, they were superb.  Cinematography by Piyush Shah is very good and right for the script and scenes.  Editing…hmmmm….the film should have trimmed by 10 to 15 minutes.


The major problem for the film lies with the plot.  First of all the plot is not suitable for the taste of bollywood audience.  Second, the villain in the movie is not at all strong and when we fight an imaginary villain, we cannot expect any sympathy.    The last 15 minutes or so is a huge burden for the film.     In another note, it is not a slap stick comedy like many other Priyadarsan film.  It is a comedy for which we need to involve in it and give few thought.


Having said this we cannot write off the movie that easily.   If compare with many other movies released in the name of comedy, the movie stand different and carry the class.   To its merit it contains a serious sub plot as well.    It worth a single time watch, if you are one who like light entertainers.


Not up to the trade mark ‘Priyadarsan film’, but better than many other releases   The movie is recommended, if you watch a movie once in two weeks.
