To be honest…I haven’t enjoyed many films this year…I kind of stayed away from many films…but this was one I had to see. I am a big fan of Khanna and a big fan of Priya…and when they both combine for a film…it’s magic. Hulchul and Hungama were both great entertainers in my opinion…as for MBPA it’s not far behind. It’s definetely an entertaining film that will make you laugh…and boy do you laugh loud…I know I did. The show stealer of the film…Mr OM PURI. This is Om at his finest. This is a role he gets to sink his teeth into. The versatile actor shows you he can out top anyone when it comes to comedy. This is not the same funny, loud, angry Om…this time he plays every indian milf’s nightmare…I mean it…his character is just halarious. You get to see him throughout the film and whenever he’s on screen you just can’t stop laughing. The dialogues are very funny. These days vulgar lines are being considered very funny…I’ve noticed that with bollywood comedy movies…but here there isn’t much vulgarity. This is just pure fun. This type of film clicks with everyone…age doesnt matter. Akshaye Khanna is a great shouter…he’s always shouting. As we all know hes the king of facial expressions…the man does well in his role. Genelia…this is probably the first time I seen her on screen…she is just too cute…very natural as well. I really liked her job…some may say she’s annoying…but I think she was just perfect. Paresh…this is just another feather in his cap…the man is brilliant once again. I love the scene where he starts prancing around the house like Dev Anand as he sings Phoolon Ke Rang Se Dil Ki Khallam Se. The actors click together in this film…and that’s whate makes things believable. Like the chemistry between Khanna/Rahul, Khanna/D’souza, Rahul/Puri…all shine. Priya handles the relationship between father and son very well here. He showed us a great father and son relationship in Virasat…here its totally different and unique where the son basically rules over the father and yells and punishes the father for wrong doings. It’s something new…that why it really stands out. The editing is just ok…the film does kind of drag on towards the end. At least 10 or 15 minutes of the film could easily been chopped off. Sometimes the pace of the film slows down when not needed and that irritates. Some songs are not well placed…though I have to admit I did like the songs in this film…I don’t care what others say. My favourite track was Jaana Hai Tujhko which I thought was picturized brilliantly in Kerala. Nasseerudhin’s act was good as well while Rajpal Yadav was wasted in my opinion. Rajpal is no where to be seen in the second half of the film. One thing we miss out on is the climax parody or chase that we always see in Priyadarshan’s movies. That’s one thing I got used to when watching Priya films…was kind of shocked not to see that in this film. Overall, very entertaining film. This is just good fun that you can watch with family. I laughed…I laughed loud.
