A Good and Decent Movie With Some Good Comedy

Having watched a lot of promos of this movie, I must say that I was not disappointed. A movie by Priyadarshan means that it would have some good comedy side to it and what more when one has Akshaye Khanna and Paresh Rawal.

Janardhan Wishvandhar is a widower who seems to have spent his life bringing up two children, Chirag and Gauarav. The latter is the one who decides to take care of his father and looks after him in such a way that at times he has to bail him out of prison for stripping in a Police station with his notorious friend, Madhav, to shouting at him and at times locking him up. Chirag in the meantime is totally henpecked husband. This all goes on until a girl decides to play pranks on Gaurav and Janardhan meets an ex - flame.

The movie stars Akshaye Khanna, Paresh Rawal, Om Puri, Genelia DeSouza and Rajpal Yadav, Manoj Joshi and Naseerudin Shah in a special appearance and is directed by Priyadarshan.

This is perhaps one of the best movies that have been released this year - it has both comedy and emotional drama which at times is rare to find in a movie these days. Akshaye Khanna as usual is good as are Paresh Rawal and Om Puri as well as Genelia DeSouza. A couple of tunes are also decent to listen to (which makes a change) Conclusion: A film well worth watching.
