It shoud be CREDIBLE!???REMAKE!!! Damn, another one!!!

(Ronjita Kulkarni)))

What happens when Meet The Parents meets Father Of The Bride tossed with songs and action?

You get Anubhav Sinha's completely unoriginal Aapko Pehle Bhi Kahin Dekha Hai. Om Puri does a Robert De Niro, as he plays dad to Paakhi (Saakshi Sivanand) who wants to marry Samar (Priyanshu Chatterjee). Priyanshu is sincere, but with his droopy eyes and beatific look, he leaves all the comedy to the senior actor.

In Father Of The Bride Steve Martin relives his daughter's wedding in narrative flashback. Om Puri does the same in Aapko Pehle. Martin Short's hilarious performance as the French wedding planner is replaced by an irritating Navneet Nishan, who jars in her five-minute role.

Director Sinha, after a surprise debut in Tum Bin, disappoints. Aapko Pehle might have worked if he had paid more attention to the casting and the screenplay/dialogues. What is a comedy without punch, after all?

All the characters, except Om Puri, are half-baked. The film has been shot entirely in Canada, and it must be said that the foreign actors are absolutely atrocious.

Nikhil-Vinay's music is poor, except for Jagjit Singh and Asha Bhosle's exceptional ghazal Aisi aakhen nahin dekhi.

The Hindi film industry has to wait yet another Friday for that elusive hit this year.

****Looks like 3RD FLOP of the YEAR 2003!!....

Moran ji ke 2**s!

On the whole, AAPKO PEHLE BHI KAHIN DEKHA HAI has a universally acceptable theme (a father's love for his daughter) that has been handled with sincerity. Despite a not-too-convincing screenplay, the film has its share of plusses in the form of competent performances, able direction, rich emotions, rib-tickling comedy and soulful music, besides the breath-taking locales of Canada. At the box-office, the film may find flavour with families. The fantastic promotion by its producers (Super Cassettes Industries Ltd.) will only add to its prospects.

Rating:- * *.

Here's a still I found from the film. I wonder whether the webmaster made a mistake, because this doesn't look like it should be in APBKDH!

no thats the correct pic from the movie. I've seen promos of this movie with some action in it and I've heard that there's an action subplot in it aswell.

It sure as hell doesn't belong in the movie though... :bangbang:

I don't think he is a goonda in the movie - I read somewhere that he's a cop.
