Since
time
immemorial,
we
have
witnessed
Bollywood's
obsession
with
the
Punjabi
culture.
The
industry's
deep-rooted
Punjab
connection
could
be
yet
again
seen
in
director
Ashima
Chibber's
latest
release
Mere
Dad
Ki
Maruti,
that
features
Ram
Kapoor,
Saqib
Saleem
and
Rhea
Chakraborty
in
the
leads.
Mere
Dad
Ki
Maruti
(MDKM)
is
an
outrageous
comedy
set
against
the
backdrop
of
a
loud
Punjabi
wedding
in
Chandigarh.
Story
Now,
before
we
proceed,
let's
brief
you
about
a
few
hilarious
characters
in
the
movie.
Ram
Kapoor
aka
Tej
Khullar
plays
a
loud
Punjabi
father,
who
share
a
volatile
relationship
with
his
son
Sameer
(Saqib
Saleem).
Not
to
believe,
the
duo's
relationship
is
so
miserable
that
Tej
has
gone
up
to
the
extent
to
believe
that
Sameer
was
exchanged
in
the
hospital
during
childbirth.
Then
enters
the
college
hottie
Jazzleen
(Rhea
Chakraborty),
who
is
self-obsessed
and
considers
herself
as
the
'Shakira'
of
Chandigarh.
The
movie
opens
with
a
wedding
ceremony
in
the
Khullar
family,
where
the
daughter
of
the
family
was
to
receive
a
brand
new
Maruti
car
as
a
dowry.
But
things
take
u-turn
after
the
good-for-nothing
Sameer
sneaks
the
new
car
(Maruti)
to
impress
Jazzleen
and
later
he
loses
it.
Fearing
his
father's
rage,
Sameer
plans
out
to
replace
the
stolen
Maruti
with
the
help
of
his
best
friend.
Mere
Dad
Ki
Maruti
is
an
out-an-out
comedy,
especially
the
hilarious
dialogues
are
sure
to
tickle
the
audiences'
funny
bones.
One
such
dialogue
is
when
Sameer
goes
upto
Jazzleen
to
propose
her.
His
terrible
English
"Are
you
love
me?"
(instead
of
"Do
you
love
me?")
and
then
Sameer's
friend
scolding
him
for
wrong
English,
"Itni
tatti
English
mein
I
love
you
bolega,
toh
aisa
hi
hoga"...,
one
certainly
can't
stop
giggling
after
hearing
such
serious
'tatti'
English.
Performances
Ram
Kapoor
as
an
outrageous
father
does
a
convincing
job.
He
perfectly
matches
up
to
the
role
a
loud,
Punjabi
dad,
who
miserably
hates
his
own
son
and
curses
the
poor
soul,
every
now
and
then.
Saqib
Saleem
certainly
does
an
impressive
job,
but
somewhere
lacks
the
screen
presence.
Rhea
Chakraborty
is
a
complete
show
off
in
the
movie,
and
unfortunately
doesn't
get
much
opportunity
to
prove
herself
as
an
actress.
What
you
can
expect
from
Mere
Dad
Ki
Maruti?
The
aam
janta
can
expect
full-too
entertainment
and
sufficient
tummy
laughs
out
of
this
loud
masala
movie.
Especially,
certain
madcap
dialogues
might
leave
you
whistling,
giggling
and
applauding
in
the
theatres.
Verdict
On
the
whole,
Mere
Dad
Ki
Maruti
won't
disappoint
you.
The
film
takes
the
audience
on
a
roller
coaster
ride
that
will
leave
them
roar
with
laughter.
