Mere baap, pahele aap "is heroine ko nikalo.."

She reminded me of Sridevi [and Rajanikanth] two people I can remember who’s hindi is slightly funny, but her’s is not funny

at all, it’s irritating, so is her acting [where she is trying to be bubbly but end up being loud and irritating].. Atleast Sridevi and Rajanikanth are great actors, which nullify the effect of the language issues.

Apart from the heroine, the movie is quiet watchable.. funny even!

The plot revolves around the relationship between father [the legend Paresh Raval] and son [Akshey khanna]. Where father is always stuck with his romeo friend [Om puri] in odd situation involving girls and Lady ACP [Archana puran Singh], and son always end up saving them and lecturing the father about morals and how he is disgraced him and how he is ashamed of being son of a sleazy father [It actually is really funny as you will see the father/son relationship totally opposite of normal, where son is lacturing father about values, moral and how he [the father] is a disgrace to him due to his habit of chasing girls :-) ]... In the acting front Paresh Raval as always is a star and helarious, sometimes we feel sorry for him as it’s because of his friend [om puri] he is getting into all these troubles.. Akshey khanna is again good and has done his part faithfully.

Om puri has a small but filling role as 55 year old bachelor who keeps on looking for women for marriage and getting into trouble [and taking Paresh Raval with him].

One last comment on the dialog writer of Priyadarshan movies, Mate, It’s really getting annoying hearling all the derogatory remarks among the characters of the movie [just like after a while watching all pakistani dramas like "bakra kiston pe" you will feel irritated by all the derogatory remarks by the characters to the other characters] remarks like "abe bhais ki pucch" etc.. well after a while it’s not funny anymore... So an advice for next time, please create humour by writing genuinely funny dialogs rather than the derogatory remarks or calling names to the people, I know you have it in you [the script writer] as you have wrote really funny lines in many Priyadarshan movies, so next time try to refrain from calling names to people and create genuine humour.

All and all a fun movie to watch. Barring music and the heroine.

Sarkar Raj a Review

When decided to watch this movie, didn’t had much expectation as Ramu’s previous mis-adventures were complete time wasters. But once the lights got dimmed and the screen came to life, I just drifted in the intense performances and tight storylines without any fat!!... That’s what Ramu is known for and somehow before this movie he has lost his grip on the film making, but with Sarkar Raj, Ramu is back and back with a bang!!

The story is also gripping, it started off where the first movie Sarkar ended, with Abhishake bacchan having cup of tea!! But as soon as you see him sitting there in the chair you instantly know that you are here for reallly good ride, with power packed performances from The Bacchans, pretty bahu Aish and all the baddies, but the main surprise is the guy who is the grandson of Rao Saab... The boy has a power and stroke of acting too.. Subtle performances from Raao Saab and the wife of Amitabh [Supriya pathak] and small role from Victor Banergee too.

This how an indiam novie should be made, cut out all the fat, just concentrate on story and the performances, be true to your story and audiences and the movie will be great. Not a single unnecessary shot or piece of music! And to top it all the suspense!! when you thought you have seen it all, the suspense will clean bold you!

All and all a great movie, one of the best from Ramu and worth every penny.. 5/5. A must watch!
