Saqib Saleem’s confident performance as Ram Kapoor’s bullied but unvanquished rogue of a son in Mere Dad Ki Maruti has multiplied his popularity since last year’s Mujhse Fraaadnship Karoge where Saqib seemed a natural-born scene-stealer. The one who is proudest of the youngster is his sister Huma Qureshi who made her own impressive debut last year with Gangs Of Wasseypur.

<strong>Starring : Ram Kapoor, Saqib Saleem</strong> <strong>Directed by Ashima Chibber</strong> <strong>Rating: *** ?</strong> For crying out loud! These characters are LOUD, man!! Really really loud. Everyone talks at the top of their lungs and quite often, at the same time. So we end up listening to more conversation, topped with aggressive background music, than our ears could normally accommodate.

Yash Raj Films (YRF)’ next venture Mere Dad Ki Maruti (MDKM) under the Y-Films banner, has finally got a release date. It will release universally on 15 March (2013). For some time now, it has been seen that YRF is becoming the perfect platform for budding talent. After having successfully launched Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma in Band Baaja Baaraat, it followed up by casting Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra in Ishaqzaade.
