20th Centuary is quickly evolving as promising decade with so many upcoming directors whose films are made on shoe-string budget yet is light-heart entertainer. Mere Dad ki Maruti falls into this category. Beautifully shot in the city of Chandigarh imbibed by Punjabi culture, Mere Dad ki Maruti delivers wholesome fun-filled ride with routine song-dance.
Sameer wants to impress his girlfriend and takes her out for a joyride in the brand new car, supposed to be gifted his brother-in-law by his father Tej. In the nick of time , he accidentally looses the car. Sameer must eventually discover the vehicle before his father blast him.
New time director , Ashima Chibber does a fine job in creating a hell of a ride as Sameer finds different ways to save himself. This film will be more enjoyable if you are from North India as you can relate well with the culture and language. Screenplay will make sure you sit tight throughout the film and laugh until you cry out. Editing could have been further trimmed by cutting down unnecessary songs. Cinematography is excellent. Dialogues are funny though sometimes difficult to understand ( sometimes hardcore Punjabi). Performances by Saqeeb Salim and Ram Kapoor drives the whole film. Their chemistry as father son is amazing and will surely go down well with audience. The actor who played friend of Sameer was also impressive.
Overall , very likable and feel-good entertainer. Must watch . Good 3/5
