My My My ... Here's a new kid on the block all set to break the Khan's barrier in bollywood. Leave along the movie ;-) but a sterling perfomance by Ranbir Kapoor is the major factor to speak in Bachna Ae Haseeno's success if at all it does become a hit. 3 heroines all portrayed to give a oomph effect on the posters share equal screen space thanks to Yash Raj's official director Siddarth Anand making a comeback after a disastrous Ta Ra Ram Pum. This venture may not prove to be so costly for him but lack of substance is something which has been common since his debut in Salaam Namaste as well.
******** U may skip this para if u want to avoid a spoiler on the movie *********Coming back to the movie its time yash raj went out of switzerland and sydney and showed us some more new locales... lol ... Starting off with a spoof on the evergreen DDLJ's protagonist Raj(SRK) the script moves on the same lines with the same one liners with the gal here Minnisa Lamba (not simran :P) missing her train (lol again) in Switzerland and our hero accompanies her to lead her to her parents but this is in a 2 weeler and not a smashing red convertible as SRK(:P). No prizes for guessing wat happened next.. love blossoms ... and yet again the guy screws it up .. dont ask how wat ... same old crap wer he's blabbering to his fnds abt his experience and she's just behing hearing everything from behind.. When they'l come over this age old concept even i'm waitin wit bated breath... Ok so all this was in 1996 ... so we'l move forward and now its 2002 in Mumbai and time for Bips to hit the screen. By now our hero is such a settled fella.. works for microsoft making game software for xbox (aaahh wat an amazing life) .. Radhika(Bips) is the gal next door and yet again Raj’s charm works on her. She falls in love and soon marriage is on the cards. But Raj, being Raj :-D, screws up again and flees to Sydney. OMG dont tell u had never seen such things before...
Lets come back to the main reason y we may have gone to watch the movie.. yes yes ok no matter how many times i may deny it directly it was deepika only ok... Now wat do we get to see then. Gayatri (tats deepika) is a cab driver in Sydney.. Pls gimmi a break .. if tats wat ur tellin urself in ur mind .. Raj falls for her and for a change its not infactuation its really love..And what she certainly doesn’t want is marriage. The trouble is – this time Raj falls in love and proposes her, only to get the taste of his own medicine. Now tat was some glimse of wat ur gonna expect .. wat happens after tat .. well just buy your own tickets and watch it.. :P
Midse all this Rambir stands out portraying a bold performance mixed with emotions and a little bit of comedy. Real Killer with wonderfull screen presence and loads of talent maybe yet to be explored in future. Minisha playing a bubbly role was maybe the best among the ladies. Bips ofcourse casted as bombshell :-O .. HOt but chemistry,biology maths watever u call it wit Ranbir ofcourse is completely outta sorts. Deepika atleast a little better tis time since OSO and watever little we got to see her in the kannada movie Aishwarya. Better ease here. Kunaal kapoor plays a small cameo in the second half. Kudos to him he does live upto it well..
Vishal Shekar duo churn out a few popular numbers but Kuda Keyle stands out and they've been very smart to use it as main background score weapon as well. Siddharth the director just shows some signs improvement but depends on how he's nurtured by Yash Raj. First timers of his movies may feel the pinch especially in the second half with badly placed songs, predictable sequences, silli narration in the climax. But if your ready to give a damn to all the IF's it may just turn out to be a neat entertainer and worth your popcorn and ticket ;-).Rating : **.5
