Mere Baap Pehle Aap

quick review: A casual friendly relationship between dad and son could have worked if the movie were about 30 minutes shorter. Otherwise, it is the usual Priyadarshan fare.

Mere Baap Pehle Aap - Review...

A casual friendly relationship between dad and son could have worked if the movie were about 30 minutes shorter. Otherwise, it is the usual Priyadarshan fare....

Sudhir Nair:

I am sure this was an experiment by Priyadarshan to see of he could make a really bad movie. The experiment definitely worked !!

My take on it - http://passionforcinema.com/baap-re-baap/

meetu:

Thanks for the humorous read, Sudhir! It certainly made me smile more than the movie itself.

Raj:

Have you not seen any of Genelia's older movies - 'Tujhe Meri Kasam', 'Boys' or 'Masti'?

meetu:

I've seen just Masti, Raj. Though I don't remember the details, I remember it being a "men" movie more or less. The women didn't have anything substantial to do.

Amol:

Hi Guys just happen to watch Mere Baap Pehle Aap on a dvd and i seriously feel i missed watching it on the big screen beause of the reviews given by reviewers.... I seriously feel at times reviewers to a great extent kill the movie. Infact talking about these reviewers most of these people dnt even have any knowledge about film making and they give reviews which is a sad part.Talking about Mere Baap Pehle Aap the subject of the movie was excellent and the way Priyadarshan has treated it with his team I guess no other director would have been able to treat it like this... Infact i missed watching this movie on the big screen. The comedy scenes between paresh, akshaye and om puri is rib tickling. Guess I feel it is a great movie and gives out a very good message.

double :

hay somebody write so that this movie doesnt sound so boring , and if you have a life you will
