This movie is completely different than Mrs. Doubtfire. They use the same concept, but the movie is very different. If you liked or didn't like Mrs. Doubtfire, still watch this. The editing was the only problem as it took away... Full review

The Hindi remake of Mrs Doubtfire starring and directed by Kamal Hassan is a somewhat shoddy version, and not as good as expected.Kamal Hassan clearly struggles with Hindi dialogs, even after all these years, and cannot handle even one scene... Full review

I LOVED this movie! I have just recently discovered Bollywood films and this one was on TV recently. It was much funnier than Mrs. Doubtfire with less goofiness and none of that hit-you-over-the head type of audience pandering. Even as... Full review

I saw this film for a comedy class and throughly enjoyed it. It is the only Hindi movie I have ever seen, and it was excellent. It is somewhat similar to the movie, Mrs. Doubtfire, however, there are many style... Full review
from the beginning i knew this was going to be a complete copy of hollywood's Ms Doubtfire. Kamal and Tabu get a divorce, Tabu takes custody of the daughter but Kamal wants to be with her aswell. So he diguises as an auntie in amrish's home. There he can be with his daughter and be with Tabu. Through lots of confusion and old men liking the auntie, wanting to marry her, Tabu begins to miss her husband, kamal kills off the auntie to be with her.

The first half hour and the last half hour are the highlights of the movie, solely due to digital graphics.....They make up for the lack of a story.....Kamal likes to experiment (remember Chachi 420).....Remaining songs are pretty ordinary.....ending in India with a heavy dose of Hindu mythology, the film has a strong Southern flavour..... ...

Apun ka Choice
The second half of the movie is especially very fast and enjoyable.
Kamal Haasan's direction is fantastic.
He handles every scene with precision and the fine tuning it takes to become a wonderful director.
Even Paresh Rawal gives his best.
