Mere Baap Pehle Aap

Normally a Priyadarshan movie with Paresh Rawal can at once set the audience looking forward to at least two-and-a-half hour of constant laughter. But quite surprisingly fun is not the main theme this time. Priyadarshan’s composition must be given credit as he brings forward a very serious social problem, that of remarriage, and presents it to the audience wrapped up in a package of merriment. Though at places the movie is quite side tracked and main theme unfolds only after an hour but the presentation is nevertheless quite nice. Curiously I can’t say that any of the principle actors have acted wonderfully but the entire presentation is quite good. But even then mention must be made of Nasiruddin Shah who, though makes a guest appearance, but adds to the gravity of the story considerably. Also Archana Puran Singh, playing the part of the lady police officer excels in her role.
