Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Chrysanthepop Wow! After years, finally Yashraj films have made something with more substance and that looks less like a 2 hour plus extension of a wannabe Western video. 'Band Baaja Baaraat' is a romantic comedy that tells the story of Bittoo and Shruti. Their first encounter with one another is a rocky start of a friendship that extends to a business partnership as Bittoo helps Shruti make her dream come true. Business goes great while there is friendship. However, things rapidly go downhill when the friendship begins to crack.Writer and director Maneesh Sharma has done a superb job. He balances romance and humour very well. The comedic scenes work hilariously and the two leads have excellent chemistry. Ranveer Singh shows a lot of potential. He's confident and does a great job of matching wits with Anushka Sharma. Vivacious Sharma shines. Given the right roles, she seems to get better with each movie. They a supported by some fine actors. I also enjoyed the soundtrack.The songs have that foottapping energy and some of the lyrics were hilarious. Yashraj films are known for their lavish art direction which actually works very well for 'Band Baaja Baaraat' as the movie is about weddings.Maneesh Sharma's sincere storytelling has paid off. 'Band Baaja Baaraat' is a colourful rom-com with soul. I hope Yashraj continues to stay on this track rather than churn out trash like 'New York' and 'Bachna Ae Haseeno'.

chanakya-dwivedi After a long time you get to see a lovestory packaged in a completely fresh manner by Yashraj banner which has a very few dull moments. The debutant director Maneesh Sharma has done an excellent job in his first movie with a debutant actor Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma who is doing only her third movie. The movie though having no big names turns out to be a complete entertainer. The tone of the movie is set by the song 'tarkeebein' right in the beginning. You will realise that Ranveer Singh might not be that accomplished an actor, but still he has done a very good job playing Bitto Sharma, the carefree lad from Saharnpur studying in Delhi to break away from the clutches of his village agricultural business. On the other hand, Shruti Kakkar(Anushka) is a typical girl from Janakpuri, Delhi aspiring to be a big wedding planner. The hero heroine meet and starts the business of wedding planning. The movie thereon catches their journey from bottom to top with a lot of twist and turns. The director has tried to make sure that there is not a single dull moment in the movie and handles the storyline very well. The director has also captured the Delhi wedding scene in an excellent manner making this movie even more fun to watch. Ranveer Singh has got great comic timing and surprisingly he is the one who actually makes the movie worth the watch. Some people think that Ranveer is not hero material, but he has done complete justice to his role and you couldn't have expected better casting, though Manu Rishi was completely wasted as the inspector in the movie. Anushka, with all other actors has done a very good job. Though the movie becomes a bit predictable towards the end, but still overall it turns out to be a very good watch. Its a must see for people who love seeing fun movies!!

namashi_1 Debutant Director Maneesh Sharma makes a good entry in filmdom with 'Baand Baaja Baaraat'. This Romantic-Comedy has an interesting first hour, likable performances, soulful music & good direction working on it's advantage.'Baand Baaja Baaraat' is tale of 2 wedding planners, who later fall in love with each-other. The lead characters are amusing, but they speak the language one is able to relate with. Maneesh Sharma succeeds by making his characters feel as if they live next-door, and the screenplay by Habib Faisal is spot-on in the first hour. However, the writing in the second hour isn't that convincing and drags a bit, especially pre-climax. Music by Salim-Sulaiman is soulful and acts as a plus-point.Performance-Wise: Anushka Sharma is efficient. Ranveer Singh may not have the ideal Hero looks, but he sure is a natural performer. The chemistry between Anushka-Ranveer throughout is very good. In the supporting cast, Neeraj Sood is lovable and most memorable.On the whole, A Decent Flick, that easily makes a good one-time watch.

bollycritic Excellent romantic comedy, with great performances and the very entertaining backdrop of the Delhi wedding planning industry. I think both the new director (Maneesh) and lead actor (Ranvir) should do very well in their careers, and the film proves that Bollywood should stop throwing it's untalented families of non-actors at the celluloid screen each week. Imagine how competent the pool of stars would be in the industry if we had fewer sons, bhanjas and bhatijas to contend with. Anushka, too, is a prized possession, as is the brilliant complement of supporting actors in this movie (like Maqsood Bhai and the entertaining troupe of rich spoilt brides-to-be). Songs were tons of fun, and though the film does de-generate into a typical unbelievable filmi affair near the end, you don't mind. It's all for the much needed happy ending.
