Mere Dad Ki Maruti

My review: Mere Dad Ki Maruti



"Mere Dad Ki Maruti" is a comedy movie on the lines of "Dude where is my car". (though except for the premise the story here is totally different catering to the Indian milieu) The writing is good, seamless and effortless manner in which humour comes through is the testimony to the fact. Neeraj Udhwani, Pooja Desai and Ashima Chibbar have jointly written the screenplay of the story by Shreyash Agarwal.

Set in Chandigarh, the Punjabi flavor of the movie itself pumps in adrenaline, color and sound. The energy is infectious and humor natural. Ashima Chibbar who is also the director of the movie has done a decent job in translating the subject matter from paper on to screen. Though there are stereotypes and mockery, those gets subsumed under the largely well written movie.

Movie boasts of largely unknown actors who all have done fabulous jobs. Saqib Saleem is top-class as the impulsive and inattentive Sameer. His body language, dialogue delivery, and timing sense are too good for such a young actor. Prabal Panjabi, as Gattu is excellent. He has more scope than others in delivering the funniest lines and getting involved in funniest situations. Ram Kapoor as Sameer's father lends more than a decent support. Rhea Chakraborty as the pompous yet naive Jasleen is adequate. 


Soundtrack is basically full of Punjabi style songs and all of them are peppy. Sachin Gupta is the music director.

Adil Afsar is the cinematographer who has done a nice job in presenting the movie in a sleek manner with adequate help from Antara Lahiri, the editor of the movie.

On the whole, "Mere Dad ki Maruti" is fun-filled ride for the whole family with unadulterated decent comedy.

Bottomline: Funny

3.5/5
