A waste of 90 minutes of my life

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

'Who says only young people can get married?'Janaradhan wants to get married again. His two sons try to keep him out of trouble, which he seems drawn to, especially when he is with his friend Madhav. The son Chirag is married with two children. The other son Gaurav does most of the caring for the elderly father.Madhav has been divorced for sometime, while Janaradhan is a widower. Madhav is more the prankster who gets them in trouble. Gaurav is usually the one to bail them out and face the attendant embarrassment.A young woman named Rose (well, Sheeka) keeps calling Gaurav, and acts like they used to know one another. Sheeka does not seem to know when to stop a practical joke; more to the point, the director does not. That and the father's hijinks move the film forward. Somewhat.Once the joke is stopped, events can move forward again. This is sixty minutes into the film, and I don't feel more informed than I did at three minutes in.After Janaradhan takes a spill and ends up in hospital with a broken leg, Gaurav and Sheeka take care of him. This appears to be their courtship as well. That is, until Janaradhan asks her about romantic possibilities. The problem is that she is more of an American now and he intends to stay in India.At the pre-wedding party for Sheeka's friend, Janaradhan recognizes Sheeka's teacher as his old flame. Madhav sets his hopes on her, but both Gaurav and Janaradhan think this is a rather bad idea. The day of the wedding, Sheeka introduces her teacher to Janaradhan, and it is clear that they know one another.Janaradhan cleans himself up, shaves, dyes his hair, and gets a haircut. He looks quite different. He goes to the college where his old flame works, but finds she's on leave. Things go down hill from there. He and Gaurav have a row about it later.Janaradhan gets more comfortable with his younger look. At a party it seems like a good opportunity to him and the old flame to get together.Will Sheeka go back to America? Will the old secrets be revealed? Will Janaradhan get what he looking for?------Scores------Cinematography: 10/10 Fine.Sound: 7/10 Good, but hollow now and then, usually on conversation, not singing.Acting: 5/10 Whereas Akshaye Khanna is a star, Paresh Rawal is a black-hole of lack. The absence of Rawal would have improved the film greatly. Om Puri was next to terrible to watch. The performance of Genelia D'Souza was enjoyable.Screenplay: 6/10 Too drawn out, too long, too much filler.Musical Numbers: 7/10 The first musical number accompanied the opening credits and was fine. The five numbers after that were quite nice.*****The mixed acting and bloated script are mostly balanced by the cinematography and the musical numbers.

There was a time post HERA PHERI(2000) when Priyan's name itself brought huge of audiences and the films worked Be it HUNGAMA, HULCHUL, GARAM MASALA, MALAAMAL WEEKLY though most were copies of south films yet there worked at the BO But off late his comedies are become dull with mostly the same jokes, same actors cast He has the same cast too he repeats This film is also a remake and has a thin story and the handling is so boringThe film leaves you bored with the loud gags which mostly fall flat and the drama which gets to the nervesDirection is ordinary Music is okayAmongst actors Akshaye with a bad wig frowns and screams tirelessly and is decent towards the end Paresh is getting repetitive now and Om Puri though has some moments is miscast Genelia's release just before JTYJN and she wasn't that good here Naseeruddin Shah is okay in a brief role, Shobana is okay Rajpal is wasted, Archana Puran Singh is loud

This Movie is an typical priyadarshan movie with his favorite stars Paresh rawal, Om Puri, Akshay Khanna and rajpal yadav. Comedy is really very good in movie, and it also shows great father son relationship. This is a complete family movie which you can enjoy with your whole family, though the music is not such good, but I am sure you are gonna enjoying this movie. About actors part, Akshay again did his best and Paresh shows his great talent in emotion here, Om Puri is funny, Genelia rocks in her role, Rajpal yadav and Archana Puransingh was good in their part but was hardly there. The movie was an average one from earning point of view, but if you are looking for a goof family movie, then its a must watch. I will rate this 6/10. Today Priyadarshan is the only Director/ Producer who is making complete family entertainment and comedy movies.

Once again a great movie from Priyadarshan ! Cheers ! Comedy in Indian movies have truly matured its really heartening to note that such entertaining movies are "Made in India".For an out of the world entertaining experience just go and watch the movie. Paresh Raval is great as always, Akshaye Khanna has carved a niche for himself and to see him in this movie as yet another entertainer is a delight. Other actors have also done their best. Good teamwork generally.The most refreshing experience is Genelia D'Souza, she's ultimate what a innocent, smiling look. She carries on her role all through the movie with great efficiency. She's the best. I watched the movie twice to see her again ! So for all this congrats to Priyadarshan and team and await more and more like this from them in coming years.
