Bachke Rehna Re Baba neither tickles nor titillates

Director Govind Menon’s film Bachke Rehna Re Baba is simply a damp squib. The movie, a sex-comedy, neither tickles nor titillates.

A poor rehash of the Hollywood movie ‘Heartbreakers’, Bachke Rehna Re Baba , has Rekha and Mallika Sherawat playing mausi Rukhmini and bhanji Padmini who con rich fools into marriage and then divorce them, taking away their wealth.

The modus operandi of the two sensuous swindlers is thus: Rukhmini lures rich bakras into marrying her. Then, according to their plan, Padmini seduces Rukhmini’s new husband. Rukhmini catches the two in the act and then files for divorce, claiming big money in alimony for her emotional trauma at husband’s infidelity.

One man to have fallen victim to the mausi bhanji duo is the loud-mouthed Punjabi Monty Bagga (Paresh Rawal). And now the mausi-bhanji are all set to claim their next victim – a filthy rich Gutka baron Fakirchand Mansukhani (Satish Shah).

The comedy in the movie works only at places. The skin-show by hot Mallika Sherawat, too, fails to titillate after few repetitions. Rekha and Satish Shah provide for some entertaining moments. The sequences surrounding the nanga mazdoor statue, the dinner out by Rekha and Shah (when she eats raw octopus and croons a cacophonous song), are hilarious. But such tickling moments are few and far between.

Paresh Rawal , quite unexpectedly, fails to evoke much laughter. Mallika Sherawat excels in flaunting her anatomy. Newcomer Karan Khanna is stiff before the camera.
