EXCLUSIVE REVIEW BY HANUMANT BHANSALI
Priyadarshan surely has buckled up a pile of comic entertainers on his back. His latest release Mere Baap Pehle Aap is a decent film altogether. Likewise, Mere Baap Pehle Aap is not a complete joyride one wishes for. It’s unedited portions, particularly in the second half, makes the film longer by 20 minutes.
The story of Mere Baap Pehle Aap is well-crafted and its depiction by Priyadarshan has been quite fruitful in the first half. However, post intermission the film takes a more serious approach which hampers the entertaining factor.
Paresh Rawal, who plays Janaradhan Wishvanbhar Rane (Paresh Rawal) in the movie, is a widower. He has two sons Chirag (Manoj Joshi) and Gaurav (Akshaye Khanna). Janardhan dedicates his life for the proper upbringing of his two sons.
When the kids grow up, the younger son Gaurav starts taking care of his father. He keeps a watchful eye on his father’s activities and protects him from the shadow of Madhav Mathur (Om Puri), Janardhan’s best friend. Madhav is a divorcee, looking forward to re-settle in life. Gaurav has to bear the brunt of the pranks played by Madhav in the company of his father Janardhan.
