A full-fledged treat of a film after a really long time. Few months of crappy cinema is like a drought of a lifetime !
Bachna is a modern saga of a man's journey from boyhood to maturehood, wherein he comes across mainly three women of different shapes, sizes, colors and genres ! Ranbir the teenager runs into Minisha (who looked so shockingly old as a 16 year old that even if she was paired with Ranbir in the later years of his life, she would've passed off as his elder sister!). Ranbir the new-age executive then dates Bipasha. She was a pleasant surprise. One expected HER to be the old-hag but she looked stunning, cynical yes, but stunning! To boot, Ranbir-Bipasha had a steamy chemistry ! Especially in the elevator scene, where you could slice the sexual tension with a knife ! Finally the real life babe enters the reel life, Deepika the taxi-driver and a part-time MBA student. Snappy, smart and composed. It's a story of Karmas, how good reaps good and bad comes and messes you up.
Engaging dialogues and cinematography. Fantastic bodies and clothes. Near-smooth direction.
The positives should've taken the film to perfection (!)had it not been for the faux-pas, as we say.
Minisha, the 1992, girl friend is doting - harem pants ! The director and the stylist completely ignored the finer points, this is just ONE example - 2008 trend in 1992!! Post break the movie breaks down ! Why o why?! Why do Indian directors love to dwell on the most uninteresting junctures?! Infact, 'dwelling' is like a 'swelling' - it can damage a brilliant scene too!
Bachna Aye Haseeno deserves 6 on 10 from me !
