You sometimes ask your self why they bother. In fact, you probably ask yourself most of the time why they bother in making films like AKPBKDH. Bankrupt of all ideas as to what to do, Writer and Director have decided that “Meet the Parents” with a dash of crime, a bit of deceit, endless songs all thrown together and revamped would make for a small charming film...instead its an incredible journey to nothing...

Samar (Priyanshu) arrives in Canada to stay with his pal Aziz Bhai. He is a cop suspended from duty because Jojo, who was in his custody, escaped and Samar was thought to have helped him in his escape. Disgraced, he has come to clear his name but wants no one to know. He comes across a girl Pakhi (Sakshi) who splits her plastic carrier bag in the rain, spilling groceries and oranges on to the floor but she is so taken in by this handsome hunk ogling at her that she stands transfixed, drenched in her WHITE clothing. The strains of Jagjit and Asha in the background leaves no doubt that love has found a place to flutter! In the meantime, Pakhi has a doting father (Om Puri) who cannot bear to even be parted From her for even 2 weeks for fear that this grown girl of 20 will not be able to bear it. Anyways, we have the silly interludes of father and daughter, boyfriend and father but its all sorted out soon enough because Pakhi wants to marry Samar and Dad thinks that its OK...even though Dad has his doubts when he sees Samar coming out of the ladies loo. This is after we have sat through endless and pointless songs, pathetic comedy and little else.

However, Samar has a stab of conscience as he has told everyone that he is some bigshot with Pepsi in India which of course he is not. He wants to make a clean breast of it but wants to find Jojo and clear his name and then tell everyone that he is a cop, hopefully no longer suspended. So off he goes to find Jojo on his wedding day but apart from a few shots of Samar and heloicopter a with gun in hand, Samar arrives back at his wedding, dishevelled and jojoless. Good Ol Samar then confesses that he has nothing to do with Pepsi, that he is a suspended cop and that he has lied to all of them. Seeing this as a horrendous crime, a dreadful betrayal, Pakhi dashes off to bawl her boring eyes out and Samar decides to mope around some car park probably thinking of his utter stupidity. (Deepthroated song in background) Lo and behold, who should show up but good ol Jojo searching for Samar....and pa in law to be and bride to be as well who is having major pangs of loves labour lost! Boom boom and Jojo’s in the can...all’s forgiven, its all sorted. Hurray for happy endings.

This is utter crap and one needs to say it because it is a film which has absolutely no idea what it is...is it a comedy? well, I can tell you its not because there isn’t a single scene in the film which had me faintly amused. Is it an action packed drama...neither..in fact, seeing Samar take out his puny little gun and hunt for Jojo in the woods, looking like 007 gone hideously wrong, is simply unintentionally very funny. As for father and daughter drama, you through the odd song “baba ki rani hoon, pariyon ki rani hoon” and hope that it will bring a tear to the eye...unfortunately its a tear of boredom, not anything else.

Priyanshu makes a fair stab at being a non-descript and pathetic cop, has all the dance moves and the red lipstick really shines on his lips. Sakshi Shivanand is a waste of time...can tell you now, you aren’t going to be ruffling any feathers in Mumbai. Om puri..what a waste and he knows it. Musically, a couple of tunes are OK but this is such vacuous fare that even the songs become painful...In a nutshell, just plain pathetic, like the title itself.
