Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
PunjabiLadkaUK A film of 2 halves! First half, really filmy, romantic, boy meets 3 different girls at different stages in his life etc.....The build ups to these relationships, 1 is a DDL style meet, the other more modern mumbai and the third a typical boy meets girls, girl not overly interested in boy style.Second half is where it all gets really interesting and well worth watching the build up for! Definitely on my Recommended list.As ranbir goes back to his past relationships and trys to re-build broken hearts that have changed these girls lives completely there is plently of jokes along the way!A great performance by Ranbir... Bipasha also did an amazing job! But not overly keen on Deepikas performance but definitely a film to watch!A purely touching film.
bollywoodplusplus Just when you thought, Bollywood's first family Kapoor khandan is ready to hand over the title to Bachchan family, here comes a young, handsome, dude, who is here to stay. I never cared to watch Sawariya (from all its promos, it looked too wimpy). But this one surely is going to place him on the hot-stuff category! The three heroines are adequate, with spl mention of Deepika P. Though the character is bit unrealistic (who cares for realism anyways in commercial bollywood films?), but she definitely carries on the role of an independent, yet vulnerable character! Music is great, Khuda Jaane is going to the classics. You just can't get enough of it. Jogi Mahi takes time to grow, but when it does, it sticks. Lucky boy is yet another dhin-chak number with less substance. Shreya Ghoshal & Lucky Ali's Ahista Ahista is a lovely track, that takes time, but it becomes addictive. Another good note: thanks to Vishal Shekhar to have given youngsters some chance: Raja Hassan and Himani Kapoor are on the tracks, though very small contribution.Cinematography: well, I really don't believe in going to nice locations, Australia, Italy, Switzerland to make a nice 'looking' movies, however cinematographer has made use of locations well. While the movie cinematography is alright, but song picturization is surely a winner! Loooove the long sweeping camera movements in 'Khuda Jaane', the camera rotations in colorful 'Jogi Mahi' or the 'Bachna Ae Haseeno' title track with the morphs, or the scooter-on-the-move sequences in 'Ahista Ahista'! The movie is a great watch. Very contemporary, even the languages and dialogues. The other casts, like Kunal Kapoor, and Sachin (isn't he Paintal Jr?) do a great job.Overall, a decent watch. If you do have the DVD, watch the deleted scenes too. Kapoor is definitely going to become the next Hrithik Roshan (though real HR is not going anywhere).
Chrysanthepop Anand's 'Bachna Ae Haseeno' is an improvement when compared to the rip-off 'Salaam Namaste'. Loosely inspired by 'Alfie', it tells the story of Raj and the three women at different stages in his life. The treatment given to the film is very formulaic and highly sugarcoated with songs appearing out of the blue and shot in exotic locations, expensive locations and outfits, melodramatic scenes, deja-vu romantic scenes, a very clichéd story and a predictable plot but there is something entertaining enough to make it worth a one-time watch. The soundtrack is below average. There are some okay songs and some horrendous numbers.The three women form three stories. The first one seems to pay homage to 'Dilwale Dulhania Lejayenge' (Aditya Chopra was the director of that film and he is the writer of this film). Interestingly, it sort of gets the viewer to ask what if in 'Dilwale Dulhania LeJayenge': Raj's feelings for Simran were merely momentary, what if Simran married Kuldeep...and these questions, to an extent are answered here. The following two stories have a bit of 'Salaam Namaste'.Ranbir Kapoor is plain okay. I don't see why his directors have to constantly remind us that he is Rishi Kapoor's (who wasn't even a great actor) son and Raj Kapoor's grandson. What was with that light flickering (from 'Bobby'), the title song and what not? Kapoor has to learn to stand on his own and has to make his directors promote his acting only, rather than his family background. I still do not see that star quality in him (that almost everyone else seems to be so sure of) and nor does he have what it takes to carry an entire film, yet.He is clearly (and thankfully) overshadowed by his three female co-stars. A supercute Minisha Lamba is vivacious as the young Mahi and she is very elegant and brilliant as the cold-hearted wife. A ravishing Bipasha Basu does one of the best acting jobs of her career and a sassy Deepika Padukone does fine too. Kunal Kapoor seems to have replaced Jimmy Shergill as Yashraj's favourite supporting actor and even though he's not as good an actor as Shergill, he does an adequate job here.Overall, it's not a classic and certainly not the best of Yashraj films but it makes for a decent one-time watch. Some heavy editing (because of the slow pace), a stronger male lead and perhaps less waste of money would have helped.
Raj Dixit Worst in every sense of the word best describes this movie. Pathetic bit of acting by every single cast in the movie. A high-budget wasted to make a crap of a movie. Bollywood is losing scripts to make. Love,Hate,Compassion, Make-up, Break-ups thats all you can except from most of the bollywood movies.I have a thousand reasons to hate the movie and not a single to love it.Some reasons include:1)Totally incompetent script. Things all go Hero's way. Not a single bit of realistic vision. 2)I don't understand if Ranbir is a hero or a Pied Piper. Whatever he wishes its all done in a song. 3)Absolutely no sense of humour all through the film. More of a sleeping pill. 4)Bollywood Heroines need to concentrate on acting rather than skin shows all through the film,the film is worth seeing for those who like the latter part. 5)The film is senseless at the end. Anyone can predict the second half of the movie. Waste of time and waste of money.
