Bachna Ae Haseeno : Movie Review

Bachna ae haseeno.. well well for all the 'main killer hun' announcements ranbir makes throughout the movie, this one is a disappointment.. and may be thats the reason i had a good wait and went in for a DVD instead of rushing for a 250 per seat multiplex watch, definitely it would have been a big waste, at home, having pop corn and chana and catching up on Big Boss Akhri Salaam with Elina in between, was not all that bad, and thanks to the 1 lt fosters flowing into him, even Garg didnt get bored, infact half way through, i got bored and sleepy, but he insisted to finish it :D.


StarCast: Ranbir Kapoor as Raj, Bipasha Basu as Radhika, Deepika Padukone as Gayatri and Minissha Lamba as Mahi.

Produced : Aditya Chopra
Music: Vishal & Shekhar

Whats new : Its a all-in-all commercial flick, with romance, comedy and bits of many stories stuck together, could have been great, the storyline was a good material for a hit commercial flick, but somehow the cast couldnt do full justice to it... and hence just some timepass comic love story to look forward to.

The Leads: This love quadrilateral seemed interesting at the first go, but one thing is decided and that is Ranvir kapoor will be one of those flop products from the kapoor khandaan, he is too cute to be fan followed... well thats my opinion, am sure there are thousands of gurls going crazy for him, but thats what i think, the leads seem to be inspired by DDLJ in the begining, and i bet, a SRK in this role would have done wonders, which ranvir couldnt. He is not really spontaneous with his shots, and that kills the situation and breaks the flow.


Mannisha Lamba, this lad is getting back to her charmind self after yahaan, first shaurya and now now bachna.., i guess she is getting back in form and is a pleasure to watch. She is one flawless beauty, who looks good when she acts stupid, and thats what shes doing in this movie, doenst have much of a role but is has done her part well.


Bipasha Basu, she is fit to be a bomshell, act a bombshell and say adieu as one, and shes best at that, and yeah shes dont that again, and shes perfect. She does what shes best at, a babe from Ranchi who wants to make it big in the glamour world, way to go bips, at first i thought she looks elder to ranbir, but hey, she was a surprise, the way she has portrayed herself innocently in that part of the movie, she looks perfect with ranbir.


Deepika Padukone, this time worst for the last.. this lady is just not made for movies, OSO was pulled through by SRK alone, and here since ranbir was not al that powerful, the last half became so obvious that these two dont know how to act.

Rest of the Crew: Well whoever played the role of ranbirs fren, oh man he was pathetic, an unnecessary cost to the movie, iam sure the guy who played the fren in jannat and kismet konnection would have done it 1000 times better he is good with the heros best fren role. Kunal kapoor comes in as manishas husband at a later stage, and he comes out as a hilarious looking cute sardaar. Just a thought, why didnt they consider the sardaar from Jab We Met, he would have been perfect, or may be he was approached and he refused, ki har picture mein meri biwi kisi aur ki girlfren ho jati hai :) Sorry for this PJ.

The Story: The killer 'Raj' has this killler instinct.. and supposedly pataofies gurls everywhere he goes. So they are off to find his senorita to switzerland, and hey he finds Mahi, manissha lamba, and mahi finds her Raj(yeah the DDLJ one) in this real Raj.. he dumps her ... has a live-in with bips, Radhika in mumbai, circumstances lead to theri marriage, he dumps her, oh yes, i forgot to tell you, our Casanova Rajj is actually a top notch gaming professional in microsoft .. :) .. then he moves to Sydney, meets this taxi driver Deepika padukone, who dumps him later ... so Rajj D great realizes his previous mistakes, decides to apologize to the ladies he has dumped in past and find nirvana.. and thats the story.

The Pluses: A good plot from a good commenrcial flick, young faces, ranbir and manisha make a cool pair, use the typical dilli wala language initially, so the dilli people would feel connected.. kariyo, jaiyo types, a good eye candy for the guys with the three babes swingling on screen for good 2.5 hrs for you. Free ka trip around switzerland, italy.. A good show by ranbir for all gals crazy for him not for his acting but for his chocolaty looks, yes hi does look so thruoghout..

The Loopholes: Ranbir and deepika are pathetic actors, well pathetic might be an exagerration but not up to the mark... Ranbir is the protagonist come the narrator, and his voice is not so appealing, so it kind of breaks the flow. The microsoft stuff is hilarious at the negative end, and overall the movie is not all that catchy.

Verdict: Ohk Timepass, can be watched at a theatre depending on your taste. I could not have, infact i could have but definitely would have been a waste of money. So better go for a DVD.

Final Rating : Time Pass

Muzik - The songs are not that appealing, but yeah the title track is pretty catchy and is very very good as a ring tone. Believe me one of my colleagues had it and it used to pep up one to all for a few minutes.
