Simply Perfect

Great Film overall

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

'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.

It was the turn of the millennium, a well known director/producer from the south teamed up with a solid team of amateurs as well as some well established names and gave us perhaps one of the GREATEST QUIESSENTIALLY Indian COMEDY THIS SIDE OF THE 80S.And he never looked up again.The downhill journey started with the golden team of Neeraj Vora and Priyadarshan who raped one English movie after the other and claimed it to be their. AND THE CLUELESS Indian AUDIENCE WATCHED AND LAUGHED, AND ONCE AGAIN AFTER NEARLY 5 YEARS PEOPLE WERE LAUGHING AT THE GOVINDA BRAND OF HUMOUR.Which was exactly a bad thing, i loved the a few of the original Govinda comedies (favourite being Deewane Mastane), and if had seen too many good English movies THAN I CAN TAKE A HIKE.But sooner than later the audience woke up to the loosely edited copy-paste jobs and the popularity of his movie began to wane.And yet people continued to be fooled and were drawn to the cinemas by stellar cast especially Akshay Kumar.But then he did the unthinkable, he dropped Akshay Kumar and that resulted in the culmination of all his past mistakes THIS.The movie has nothing going for it.The acting is merely OK with stellar performers like Paresh Rawal and Om Puri finally loosing out to a weak script, Akshay Kumar was merely good at his best and you can only imagine was a weak movie like this will do, GENELIA LOOKED SPARKLING BUT HER ACTING TALENT IS NOT QUITE UPTO THE MARK, the chemistry was non-existent between almost everybody, THE SPARK WAS MISSING COMPLETELY FROM THE FATHER SON DUO WHICH WAS MOST IMPORTANT.The music is quite bad and adds nothing to the movie, the to add insult to injury the songs are misplaced.Even though the concept had potential the script is weaker than most slapsticks, THE ENTIRE MATURE LOVE STORY WAS AS BAD AS HAVING UNDERCOOKED SEAFOOD (which i don't eat since I'm vegetarian).And then there is the humour itself which was humorous for all of 10 mins in the first half and 15 mins in the entire movies,LETS NOT MENTION THE PRESENCE OF RAJPAL YADAV (i just did hehe).AN In-depth ANALYSIS OF THE MOVIES SHORTCOMINGS WILL CLEARLY RUN INTO PAGES SO LETS GET THE TO GOOD PARTS AND THE CONCLUSION.Genelia looks fresh and enticing, even looks sexy in a few scenes, acting could improve though.Om Puri is actually funny in most scenes.Some scenes promise and almost deliver.Conclusion A MOVIE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DECENT DRAMA IF THERE WAS REALLY ANY. Definitely not a comedy, avoid unless your a super Genelia fan (ARE there are any?).-s no drama, no comedy, ordinary acting, bad songs, wasted potential.+/-s had potential??!!!.+s Genelia Dsouza, Om Puri, 15 mins of fun.total 4/10 (only because i expected very less, fell even below my low expectations, REALLY I HOPE THIS IS A WAKE UP CALL FOR PRIYADARSHAN WHO HAD ONCE PROMISED US THE WORLD).

if you are going in with preset mind of watching a Priyadarshan comedy then you might not appreciate the film. the performances are good. Om Puri stands out. Akshaye and Paresh are good and share a nice chemistry in father and son relationship. Jeneliya has looked cute and justice to her character( though there was not much for her to do)if one goes for it with open mind without any presets then he/she would love the flick.i would recommend do go for it at least once, as there are not many in Hindi cinema which shows father and son relationship and that too in this beautiful manner.

Priyadrashan + Paresh Rawal + Akshay Khanna..........u expect a gr8 time pass and some really funny lines as in the past movies like Hulchul, Hungama etc. But this time Priyan really fails to give a full time pass movie. Although there are some really funny moments (Om Puri as always at best), but those few moments does not make a watchable flick. Story is a typical boolywood masala one so i don't think , i need to write anything on that. About acting part, Akshay is dependable, Paresh goes overhead, Rajpal Yadav is a complete waste, Genzil D'silva, i was not expecting much from her so OK, Om Puri is best.
