'Bachke Rehna Re Baba' is a mass entertainer targetting B and C centers. The movie is a routine comedy flick with hot Mallika Sherawat's ample skin show. Rekha is the surprise element of this movie, she is ravishing and glamorous with loads of energy. Go for this sexy comedy flick if your are hungry for entertainment. In a nut shell Govind Menon has focussed only on masala and mass entertainment.
Story:
The aunt-niece team of Rukmini [Rekha] and Padmini/Paddu [Mallika Sherawat] are real pros when it comes to conning millionaires. First, Rukmini leads them to the marriage path. Then Padmini lures them into seduction... and a hefty divorce settlement!
After that, it's on to the next unfortunate victim.
Rukmini and Padmini play the games with a Punjabi big-shot [Paresh Rawal] initially and with a Sindhi entrepreneur settled in Mauritius [Satish Shah] subsequently.
The one rule that must not be broken is never ever to fall in love, but Padmini loses her heart to Raghu [Karan Khanna], a rich restauranteur.
But there's chaos: There's a dead body to tackle, plus the jilted Punjabi businessman lands up uninvited, also Padmini is torn between her aunt and lover now turned husband…
Director Govind Menon borrows heavily from director David Mirkin's comic caper HEARTBREAKERS [2001; starring Sigourney Weaver, Jennifer Love Hewitt]. And the Indianized version does tickle your funny bone at places.
Music:
Music by Anu Malik is foot tapping and in sync with the times.
Performance:
Bachke Rehna Re Baba belongs to Rekha, who delivers a knockout comedic punch. She is awesome and looks great. Mallika Sherawat's performance is average but who cares when she has great figure and tremendous sex appeal. Paresh Rawal doesn't get much scope in the first half, but stands out in the latter half. Satish Shah is outstanding, handling the role of a Sindhi tycoon with precision. Karan Khanna is adequate.
Verdict:
Average.
