With a non-impressive star cast (Jimmy Shergill and Kim Sharma) and a storyline lifted from the Hollywood Robert De Niro-Ben Stiller comedy Meet The Parents, KHDBB is an Indian marriage mish-mash that fails to impress despite the fact that the film has been very well shot extensively in the US at that.
 
The film revolves around an Indian millionaire hotel magnate Roger Patel (Paresh Rawal), whose miserly ways are dented only by his extravagant daughter, Ritu (Kim Sharma). His is a fairy tale story of a poor man who came from Gujarat and made it big in New Jersey. Now illustrious, he is s shrewd businessman and holds his ‘bania’ traits evident for all to see. Ritu, a pediatrician in New

hygienic food to eradicate diseases ( ?). He runs a mobile fast food restaurant, ‘India on Wheels’ in New York but is more unhygienic than anyone else (he pees into a beer bottle and serves it to an American, who drinks it and ask for more! Ugghh!!!). Soon, both the silly doctor and dirty cook run and sing all across the town till she tells her conservative father about this non-Gujarati cook. He is livid but plans his next move well. He invites Sundar for his elder daughter's wedding to their home and investigates and probes into his life, till he finds out that Sundar was married earlier to help a friend get a Green Card. After that hell breaks loose in the household till finally true love triumphs and all the misunderstandings are sorted out.

The problem with this ‘desi’ version is that unlike the original version where seasoned actors shared a terrific on-screen chemistry here the same moments falls flat and lack any intensity or humour. And despite a commendable performance from Paresh Rawal, the film fails to hold or move since the lack of star power is clearly evident. Even though Kim Sharma is passable, Jimmy Shergill’s role needed a far superior and experienced actor. Technically, the cinematography is fabulous and picture perfect New Jersey is well captured on screen. But nothing else impresses in this film that could have been far more interesting had the director chosen a better cast. KHDBB will surely find it tough, as the movie has nothing to say in the first place!
