The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

'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.

This Movie is an typical priyadarshan movie with his favorite stars Paresh rawal, Om Puri, Akshay Khanna and rajpal yadav. Comedy is really very good in movie, and it also shows great father son relationship. This is a complete family movie which you can enjoy with your whole family, though the music is not such good, but I am sure you are gonna enjoying this movie. About actors part, Akshay again did his best and Paresh shows his great talent in emotion here, Om Puri is funny, Genelia rocks in her role, Rajpal yadav and Archana Puransingh was good in their part but was hardly there. The movie was an average one from earning point of view, but if you are looking for a goof family movie, then its a must watch. I will rate this 6/10. Today Priyadarshan is the only Director/ Producer who is making complete family entertainment and comedy movies.

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.

Priyadarshan's magic could not be found in this one. Not as hilarious as his previous ones were. Moreover, there were hardly any good jokes. Om Puri and Paresh Rawal were excellent and funny as usual. The first half was funny and all credits to the duo; but the latter half did the movie in. The Climax was poor. The locations and direction were upto the mark except for a slow moving script and needless songs. Akshay khanna was okay. Genelia D'souza, the actress we saw in Masti and some telugu movies was found to be hyper... don't know whether the role demanded such overacting or it was natural. Rajpal yadav in his short scene was very funny. Priyadarshan had unnecessary scenes, songs, etcetera and he was trying his level best to tie the scenes together. Overall, worth watching if someone offers the tickets or have no other things to do.
