Review: Bachna Ae Haseeno
Another romantic comedy. A very formulaic approach. A typical YashRaj movie. You think? You are right. Largely. Well, mostly.
The movie has tremendous potential. The story has meat but unfortunately, the YRF handling makes it a little tacky. Don’t get me wrong. The movie is entertaining and I would say totally paisa vasool unlike what some others have to say. I won’t delve into the story details or the technical handling of the movie or such. The others do a better job of it! For me, the movie allowed me to take five hours out on a Thursday night preceding a long weekend (more on why it was five later!).
What I truly enjoyed was Bipasha Basu, Ranbir Kapoor and Hiten Paintal in that order. Paintal plays the quintessential and necessary sidekick in such movies. The ‘other’ voice for our hero… the one who’s trying to keep a balance or completely bust the hero’s thinking (depending on how you look at it). But he did create a character that was lovable albeit a little misguided in the conventional sense.
Advt.
