I am catching up on Priyanshu movies that I missed when they were released originally.

Sucks a bit that he, a decent actor, didn't get the recognition he deserved and his career didn't last long in Bollywood. Was refreshing to see him in 12th fail and I do hope he makes a come back in Hindi movies.

Not only he is good looking, he also can dance and acts pretty well. He did a good job in Tum Bin as well. It seems he was another victim of the nepo kids.

Anyway for the movie, it is a pretty decent movie but has its holes and some things just don't make sense.

Instead of taking a suspended cop angle, they should have taken an undercover cop angle where he is investigating Om Puri's character, and eventually he would have cleared him of charges, as Om would have been a clean guy and was mistook for another guy in Calgary. This would have created the required drama they needed and also wouldn't have came off as a blatant lie, which tbh didn't make any sense. If he was suspended he should have told Om and Pakhi about it. He still is a cop! But the undercover angle would have been better as then it is obvious he cannot reveal his identity to the guy he is tracking down

Anyway it is a good movie. Songs are great, have that 90s early 2000s flavour. Do watch for nostalgia and Om, Farida and Priyanshu.

Arundadhi roy is bad at everything. she cries about tribal rights after she snatched tribal forest land illegally and build a bungalow in panchmarhi hills,MP.

Well, all were having high hopes from Anubhav Sinha after Tum Bin. But Anubhav Sinha - Priyanshu Chatterjee fails to live up to the audience expectation this time. But for me, I really really liked the film.

The story is about the suspended cop( Samar, played by Priyanshu Chatterjee) who comes to Calgary searching for a criminal and there he falls in love with a successful Indian businessman(Sam, played by Om Puri), who is very protective about her daughter( Pakhi, played by Sakshi Shivanand). There is also some other characters like Om Puri's elder sister(Asha 'Jiji', played by Farida Jalal) who supports Pakhi and likes Samar very much. Om puri however isn't sure about Samar and have some reservations about him.

The story is very much predictable and has been set up in Calgary where Anubhav Sinha shot Tum Bin. The story seems to be inspired from Father of the Bride.

What is special about the movie is the sweetness in the film. This is basically a romantic comedy and feel good type of cinema. Bond shown between father and daughter is very sweetly picturised and the scenes of Om Puri and Priyanshu are very humorous. Farida Jalal deserves special mention as the bond between her and Om puri as brohter sister bond is very warm and they really compliment each other. Priyanshu as the lead actor is really good. Sakshi does a decent job and she is looking beautiful throughout the film. Manoj Pahwa as Priyanshu's friend does an excellent job.

Music of the movie deserves a metion. From Aisi Aankhein Nahi Dekhi to Baba ki rani ho, each song is soulful and touches your heart. The cinematography is breathtaking. Anubhav Sinha captures the beauty of Calgary very well.

As for direction, Anubhav Sinha has done a decent job in the movie.
