After dabbling with sports,women oriented and children’s movies,Yash Raj is back to what it does best.Soppy love stories.
There are innumerable references to DDLJ.The characters are ready to burst into song at exactly at the right moments,the locales are post card perfect.There are actors doing guest appearances,children,a little bit of family sentiment thrown in.They have mastered the formula.
Sad part is,I think the audience has matured alarmingly over the few years.
Coming back to the film, I expected either a crazy story-less,all song drama like Dil Maange More,or an insane story like Singh is King. Thankfully,its not that bad.
Raj is a guy from Delhi.He has it all.But when it comes to girls, he’s a killer.He doesnt fall in love and all that.He gets the girls easily.He reconts his life and the three girls in his life.The sweet Mahi,the confident Radhika and the smart,intelligent Gayatri.He dumps the first two and the last one dumps him.
He realises his life now sucks and ventures out to correct the wrong he has done.
Its a Yash Raj movie so I need not say anything else.Its self explanatory.
The movie is saved solely by the performances.Deepika Padukone and Minisha Lamba never over-act,they are restrained but sure of what they want to do.Bipasha Basu is the surprise package,But the film clearly belongs to Ranbir Kapoor who plays the Casanova with perfection.
Finally,its a movie you may enjoy but its definitely not one you will remember.Theres no towel scene in this one so I think even the girls do not have any special reason to watch this one.
