Perhaps I should preface this by saying that the previous Hindi film I watched was Kambakkht Ishq. Thus any film after watching that turkey would have a better than even chance of being entertaining.Ten minutes into this film and I was wondering whether I had chosen wisely and to be fair the first half of the film could have done with some judicious re-editing to tighten it up a bit and remove some truly superfluous stuff. Thereafter however, the madness just pulls you in and the second half of the film is a comedy blast.Despite the absurdity, the clichés, the plot holes and everything else that might be wrong with it, the reasons that this film succeeds are simply because it does not take itself too seriously and it has the Deols.The whole film rests upon their very capable shoulders and they pull it off with ease. Its almost as if they were using each other to boost their own performances like some sort of springboard and got into a little unspoken competition to see who was best in the process. My money is still on the old man! Which is not to say that the supporting cast is any less capable, for in general they are more than able to hold their own with the Deols in full flight. Sure there are some minor quibbles in the casting but overall it is as strong a cast as I have seen in a Hindi film. Special mention for Kulraj Randhawa, someone I have never seen before and wondering why. No slouch as an actor, she is undoubtedly beautiful with the most mesmerising eyes and a gorgeous smile which are used to excellent effect in the film.The music for the most part is wonderful and serves the film very well indeed. Like the rest of the film, the music gets better the further the film goes.Not classic cinema by any means but damn entertaining, this is the sort of film that you can pull off the shelf every so often and watch again as if for the first time. It is one of the very few films I have ever seen twice in one day, and still enjoyed it.Overall a solid 7/10 pushing towards an 8/10

After Apne,the Deols are back with YPD. YPD's first hour is good,but the romantic scenes just do not work and bores you.But the second hour covers it all.In short the second hours just rocks. Having a story which we have seen in many Bollywood movies,Karnik could have worked on the story a little bit then it would have worked big time.But big laughs are guaranteed in the second hour specially. The music is average.Barring the title track,rest all act as speed breakers. Performance wise-The Three Deols are amazing.Kulraj makes a decent debut.Anupam Kher is superb as the Big Brother of Kulraj.Johnny Lever provides laughs.Mukul Dev is truly outstanding.Overall,YPD is an amazing entertainer.

Well Of course Deols are back but not as promised . Movie is lot different from trailers we saw Apart from some good scenes and great camera work .. movie was OK OK I am still not able to make out why there were 2 item songs ... Anyways loved Bobby's Character 'Gajodhar' and Dharam Praji were at his best. Action Sequences were nicely put and Anupam Kher Did a fair justice to his role. Music is nice and so does the location . Loved all the Varanasi Scenes and Punjab too. God Job by Cameraman. Both the Actresses are nice. Sunny Praji Needs to work on his English for sure :) Movie could have been more entertaining though ... A five from Me.. One Time Watch

Previously three Deols came together in APNE which was a boxing family drama. With YPD they venture into new territory - comedy. Is this attempt successful ? Yes !This movie is about journey of sunny paaji to India from Canada in search of his father and younger brother. So first half is dedicated to formation of plot and is based in Benaras. Real fun begins in second half in punjab. With bizarre situation created they succeeds in making you laugh. Dharam paaji, sunny paaji, bobby all are good in there performances but special praise should go to Anupam Kher for his hilarious performance as eldest brother of heroine. There is no much innovation in story, music is average.Overall a nice entertaining movie. My rating - 7/10
