Mere Baap Pehle Aap

We decided to take our father for this one on father's day. The movie did get us a few good chuckles. But inspite of being a fan of Akshay Khanna and his comic roles in the past this one just didn't do it for us. Looked like priyadarshan tried really hard to make us laugh. Akshay and new actress Genelia did overact in certain scenes. Paresh Rawal and Om Puri were much better and held their court well. Archana Puran Singh's scenes were good too. But overall the movie felt like a drag at times. I will not totally undermine it but it can definitely wait to be watched on the dvd. I would give it 2 and 1/2 stars

Sarkar Raj

Sarkar Raj proves that Ram Gopal Varma should stick to movies about the underworld. With a slew of flops and really unbearable movies atleast this one was a good one time watch. The first half was definitely more catchy, the second half a little bit of a drag. The dialogues in the movie were pretty good. Amitabh and son give a good performance so do the numerous villains. The latest addition to the bachchan family though Aish was a disappointment her character was weak and non effective. Tanisha had a tiny role too but for a long time it was difficult to tell who she was playing was she Abhishek's wife , bhabhi or someone else.

The unfolding of the plot in the end was done well too. The background score of govinda govinda was catchy too, I heard kids humming the tune leaving the theatre. Overall I would give it 3 stars.
