Bachna Ae Haseeno

Ranbir Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Deepika Padukone, Minissha Lamba, Kunal Kapoor

First half of the film is alright. Second half is little boring. The only entertaining part in the second half is the way Bipasha makes Ranbir work as her assistant. The plus point of the film is casting. Read More

Ranbir has been there, done 'em all. He lives the characters to the 'jilt', swathes the character in the cruelly cool quirks that make utter self-centredness a fashion statement in contemporary societies. Read More

Ranbir Kapoor is marvellous. An incredible actor. One will run out of adjectives and personifications describing his performance. Amongst girls, Bipasha Basu stands the tallest. First RACE and now BACHNA AE HASEENO, the actress is finally getting the right roles that do justice to her talent. Read More

Director Siddharth Raj Anand knows the craft too well by now and his handling of the romantic and emotional scenes is worth appreciating. Take the sequence at the airport - Minissha stands stunned listening to Ranbir's tale of 'conquest', with tears rolling down her cheeks. The silence says it all! Read More

Less attention is given to the female actors who support him – Minissha Lamba, Bipasha Basu and Deepika Padukone. The fact that they do not resonate is not just because their roles are secondary – it's because the screenplay and direction haven't breathed life into them. Read More

The film's dialogue, actually, is its strongest asset, the lines working realistically on a rom-com level but, more impressively, staying in just the right key -- complete with slang and relatability -- even during the demanding emotional outbursts. Read More

Technically the film is a delight. The cinematography captures the nuances of each location. The sound designing is a valuable asset. Styling is superb. Music is about average. Read More

Bipasha Basu looks hot but her chemistry with Ranbir is thanda thanda…cool cool. Deepika Padukone is surprisingly confident and at ease in her performance. Kunal Kapoor is delightful in a guest appearance. Read More

The movie is also worth a watch for the beautiful locations it has been shot in. The music by Vishal and Shekhar is splendid. Khuda Jaane rocks! Read More

Minissha attempts to be the bubbly girl and has a strong Preity Zinta hangover in her dialogue delivery. Deepika doesn't disappoint but her story isn't fleshed out much. Hiten Paintal could be a worthy replacement to the likes of Vishal Malhotra and Vrajesh Hirjee in playing the hero's best pal. Read More

Director Siddharth Anand has the balls to show his hero as a man thoroughly exposed in his selfseeking egocentricity. Ranbir doesn't spare the character. He penetrates Raj's nervecentre and portrays him as a smoothtalking charlatan who's looking for trouble in shapely places. Read More

Screenplay-wise, 'Bachna Ae Haseeno's is a simple episodic pattern. Love doesn't come the classic way. It's either induced through dialogues like the anecdotes of astronomer Rakesh Sharma in the Minissha episode or through a song number as in the case of Deepika. Read More

Too much footage has been given to Bipasha's character, especially when all Raj has to do is say "I'm Sorry". Yet, all three girls make an impact. Hiten Paintal as Raj's constant companion displays talent. Like they say, it's in the genes. Read More

Watch Bachna Ae Haseeno because it is what entertaining cinema should be; watch it for great performances from the young brigade and watch it knowing you will want to come back to the theatre to watch it again. Read More
