Not many understand the joy and the pain of a man looking to start all over again on a clean slate. Not the least among them is good old Priyadarshan who pours such ridicule, such scorn on a man starting late that his film Mere Baap Pehle Aap becomes a test of patience.
Agreed, it is a comedy and we should be willing to suspend reason, even keep a little distance from sensitivity. We, the uncomplaining cinemagoers, could have pardoned Om Puri with his ugly wig and a dance number had the director not been so relentless in his mockery. Here his 50-year-old man never seems to find logical ways of finding a mate. Now dancing with a bikini-clad Mumait Khan, now entering college, only to be ridiculed for venturing to see a girl thus.
