Last updated
Aapko Pehle Bhi Kahin Dekha Hai is a 2003 Indian Hindi-language comedy drama film directed and co-written by Anubhav Sinha and produced by Bhushan Kumar. The film stars Priyanshu Chatterjee and Sakshi Shivanand in pivotal roles.
Plot
Sam, a successful Indian businessman and an overly protective father, cannot accept that his daughter Paakhi will marry and leave. Paakhi falls in love with Samar, a suspended cop searching for a criminal in Calgary. Sam initially disapproves but eventually consents to their marriage.
Reception
Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM rated the film 2 stars out of 5, noting its universally acceptable theme of a father's love handled with sincerity, despite a not-too-convincing screenplay. He cited competent performances, able direction, rich emotions, rib-tickling comedy, soulful music, and Canadian locales as plusses, predicting family appeal at the box-office. Ronjita Kulkarni of Rediff.com wrote that all characters except Om Puri are half-baked, the foreign actors are atrocious, and Nikhil-Vinay's music is poor except for the ghazal Aisi aakhen nahin dekhi by Jagjit Singh and Asha Bhosle.
