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.

Now tell what did you like (oh, please don't say you didn't like anything!)?

Delhi 6: Good but below my expectations

To start with, I really expected a lot from this movie as it starrs Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor in the lead roles, but overall it didn't fulfill my expectations. Now that doesn't mean that I am disappointed by the movie. It was a good movie and I really liked the characters in the film. Having said that, the weak thing I feel about the movie is its story. If you've also watched the movie, you can understand what I meant (yup, that 'Kala Bandar' thing!).

Excepting the story, I really enjoyed this movie overall. And I got a chance to see my favorate old actor once again -- Rishi Kapoor in a fabulous role. **The line he said, "Pyaar karte ho to izhaar karo, varna meri tarha khali makaan khareedte reh jaogey" is great** I liked his performance the most. At that age, he has done a superb acting. I should watch the films he did when he was young :) Amitabh Bachchan was in a guest appearence.

The cinematography was a little weak at the starting and the end. But in the middle the director showed his talent, right? The background score is fitted at right places making the film more fun. And I saw Om Puri after a long time. Where was he?!

A.R. Rahman's music always takes time to grow on me. Finally, now it has grown over me and I like the soundtrack. It was fabulous. Again I say fabulous. The song Rehna Tu steels the show with Masakalli being at number two. All the other songs were also refreshing. Perhaps, Rahman should have gotten an Oscar for this film. Wasn't its music better than that of Slumdog's?


Don't know why, but I am falling in love with all the newcomer heroines. Like I falled in love with Genelia D'Souza after seeing Jaane Tu... And now after seeing Delhi 6, I love Sonam. Hmm... which newcomer will be my love now: keep guessing! :)

Movie Rating - 3.5/5 (Very Good)

Music Rating - 4.2/5 (Excellent!)

Its one of those movies you can watch with your family (except a few little scenes!) ;-)
