Mere Baap Pehle Aap: Watched it because of Genelia!

One of the *most* underrated movies of the last year. And the only reason I watched it was Genelia D'Souza, I just loved her expressive acting. The film is produced-directed by Akshaye Khanna and it stars some great comedians like Paresh Rawal, Om Puri and Rajpal Yadav. Nowadays, the work-load is heavy so watching a comedy film is better than watching a serious one, right?

The story starts with a father-son relationship. The son, Gaurav, takes care about everything of his father (like his father is his child!). And the father (called Baapu), is always in some controversy because of his dear friend Mathur, who is single and is finding someone to marry.

Now an old classmate of Gaurav, Shikha Kapoor, calls him and asks him to recognise her. But he couldn't.

Then Shikha meets Gaurav face-to-face and Gaurav remembers that he had cut her hair in the Engineering College. Now the both become good friends and their friendship gets deeper day by day, which ends into love. Shikha's music teacher was a friend of Gaurav's Baapu since childhood. When the teacher and Baapu meet, the identify each-other and all the old memories of their childhood come into the mind of the both.

Now when Gaurav realizes the love of his father with the teacher, he says him to marry her. After that, he would marry Shikha. And that's how the title is justified, Mere Baap Pehle Aap (My Father, You First).

I liked the film and it's worth at least one-watch. The film was not publicised that much and that's perhaps why it did not have a great response from the box-office.

Movie Rating: 3.5/5 (Good).

Music Rating: 3.3/5 (Above Average). The only song I liked was Maine Hawa Ke.

Finally, what do you like the most about the film (I like Genelia!) out of the following:
Paresh and Rajpal:

The father-son:
Mr Unmarried:
Genelia:
Now tell what did you like (oh, please don't say you didn't like anything!)?
