Bachna Ae Haseeno Review

Bachna Ae HaseenoMovie: Bachna Ae Haseeno; Cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Deepika Padukone, Minissha Lamba; Director: Siddharth Anand; Rating: ***

Yet another Yashraj's product, Bachna Ae Haseeno, is a flick which would be especially liked by the youth. This romantic movie deals with a young guy Ranbir, who falls in love with 3 ladies at different time, first, when he is in HSC (1996), second when he starts working with a company in Mumbai (2002) and third when he moves to Australia.

The guy breaks heart of first 2 girls so badly and he never realizes it until his third girlfriend breaks his heart and makes him suffer the pain associated with a spilt up.

The movie starts with a guy going back to his flashback and taking us to Switzerland where he had fallen in love for the first time (with Minnisha Lamba). The director had tried very hard to show us that it was actually 1996 but somehow it feels, the actors looked lot older than those 18 year olds.

2nd story takes place in 2002, with Bipasha Basu. The guy is shown working for Microsoft's gaming section. Okay, now here the guy looks younger whereas Bipasha looks older. It is a kind of mismatch but here, there are few comedy scenes and the performance looks much real. Especially, Bipasha has really done a wonderful job.

Now, year 2007, the guy is in Sydney where he meets Deepika Padukone. There is indeed some kind of spark between Ranbir and Deepika. Maybe being a real life couple has helped them to showcase a beautiful chemistry on the celluloid. Deepika certainly has done justice with her character.

The movie seems quite ok in the first half but as it reaches interval, the whole movie becomes very predictable. The second half is emotional and a bit too long. The execution of the script by the director especially in the second half could have been better. The editing too could have been much crisper. As expected by the Yashraj productions, the music is superb, especially two songs, the classic Bachna Ae Haseeno and Khuda Jaane, really stand out. The cinematography is fantastic; the locales of Australia and Italy have been beautifully captured.On the acting front, Ranbir looks pretty good though he was kind of over the board in first story but overall he has done a good job. Minnisha again goes overboard like Ranbir in first story but later it is all good. Bipasha despite of looking bit older in front of Ranbir is the best of the lot. Deepika too is good. Actually, she did not have much to do.

The movie could have been made much better, in terms of execution, story et al. The concept of 1 guy falling in love with 3 girls is great but the way it is turned out is bad. They could have made it thorough romantic comedy flick rather than adding some drama and all.

So, overall, it seems that the movie would do good business. It may be liked by few while few might not like it. It should get mixed reactions.

  8. Neil Mukesh is so much of a better actor than Rabhir Kapoor

  9. the movie is awesome in terms of music,cinematography,screenplay… but da second half seems to be disappointing quite a lil bit due to extension of da story..
    i loved da movie a lot b’coz i’m a 17 yr old…. and i’d go with 4/5 for”b.a.h”

  10. horrible

  11. not bad at all…I think the movie was good.It deserves at least 3 1/2*s

  19. its utter nonsense

  20. The movie is Superb, outstanding and truely romantic. i love to see it again. Guys must watch, R.K is the ‘hottest boy alive’. It desrves more than 4 stars.

  21. This is a short review of the movie we saw on the first day, bachna ae haseeno.
    This movie is a romantic tale of a lover boy who takes wrong steps in the first half of the movie and then makes it up in the second half after the self realisation of his true love dawns on him. This is no action movie. The sets are great. Movie taken in a lot of locations in europe, australia, and india. songs are sweet to listen to. this is a no-boring movie. it sure is an entertainer and a good time-pass. would applaud the acting of ranbir kapoor and bipasha that dominate the movie.

  22. dis muvie is just da best eva muvie i have seen and ranbir luks realy gud wid all 3 guls especialy it shows mre chemstry between deepika and ranbir den da otha 2!!! i love dis muvie loadz!!!

  34. really beautifully made… it is the superhit of the year… Minisha is cute.. no girl in dis world can beat minisha in her cuteness looks :-)

  35. this dosent make any sense

  36. i loved da movie. specially the songs.

  37. n ranbir is soooooooo cute. m in love with him!

  38. bakwas

  39. do kaudi ki pase ki barbadi

  40. some people dont know about movie they say bad i think u are bad the movie its super hit

  41. love ranbir….

  42. Okie movie could have been better

  43. **** film of the year!

  44. Stupid….Movie ever made

  45. Itz awesome movie, but those who dint like this movie, they only just go for what expectations , i dont know!, but any ways, I liked da movie, it deserves atleast 3.5 stars..
    Ranbir is really future of entertainment..

  46. pls watch da movie…

  47. itz awesome, all da actors are coooooooool

  48. this is a very wrost movie………………………………
    don’t ever try to watch this.

  49. Awesome movie. I loved it.

  50. Considering that it’s just a second movie on Chhote Kapur..a lively and arrogant performance by Ranbir…I like on screen arrogance in a actor….Minnisha was cute…bipasha was hot and deepika’s off screen chemistry was there onscreen as well…A decent story…fresh faces, nice locations, better direction provides movie a cutting edge…With movies like Singh is kinng, kismat konnection, ugly pagli and god tussi gr8 ho…this movie certainly is better placed….However there was one major problem…There best song should have featured Sunidhi Chauhan instead of shilpi rao…She dint matched the beauty of song along KK who was just 2 good in it…also this song has been nicely used in the movie here n thr….overall worth watching this movie…Don’t expect anything like The Dark Knight….

  51. kaya piya pachaya

  52. hes jus lik imran hasmi
    so worst movie

  53. U can sit in a toilet 4 3 hrs..But can’t tolerate this movie 4 a single minute.Not a hit but truly a ****

  56. the botton line is this. now bollywood need one more srk but ranbir is not like his coz he don’t has any new style he copy is dad’s uncel shashi kapor that it and the story is thing to understand and may b the file will b hit coz of the stupid life story of ranbir n deepika hahah lolz they know the stupid movies can’t work that y they r showing the stupid love story coz they wanna run the movies . deepika act batter then any one and she is also unlucky coz he didn’t get any good and big rol. yet oso she is in movies just abt 15 or 20 mint hhah lolz and BEH she is just around 1 song and 10 mintz hhaha lolz so the movies just sceated for randir kapor and ist not going to get the place of any khan coz khan r best and they r the great actors as all i know tc bye

  57. i don’t like ranbir as an actor yara hmm

  69. Bachna Ae Haseeno IS TIME WAST MOVIE. this is a very wrost movie………………………………
    don't ever try to watch this. Bhool kar bhi mat jaana………….

  70. RANBIR ROCKSSSSSSSSSS , SUUUUPPPPEERRRRRRB MOVIES ITS BIGGEST HIT MOVIES OF THIS YEAR…. SO GUYS DONT WATCH THIS MOVIE AT ONE TIME,BUT YOU WATCH ATLEAT FOUR FIVE TIMES.

  71. People , don u still get it ….yrf makes only **** movies … all the senti , romance, **** kinda movies …….. do u ever remember seeing a sensible yrf film …… remember neil n nikki , chalte chale , its all the same **** cumin from yrf …….

  72. gud movie…. ranbir rocksssss….but i dont agree dat its tooo bakwas!!!! deepika u r gorgeous….

  73. i just watched the movie and its ok.

    bipashu really proves to her audience that she is the main star. i think her acting was amazing! 10/10

    minishi was good, but i think she over acted. 8/10

    deepika was really sweet but i didnt really get to see her in the movie much. 8/10

    ranbir was the main character and he did a decent job, but it was outstanding. 8/10

    since deepika, ranbir, and misnishi are just new comers it will take them some time to really become good actors (like bipashu in this movie).

    the SONGS were amazing. Lucky boy was awesome.

    everything was pretty good, but the script and plot. i would give this movie a 3.8 out of 5.

  74. FILM WAS BRILL
    I RELLY ENJOYED IT
    RANBIR LUKED GORGEOUS
    GIRLS LUKED ****
    ALL 4 ACTED WELL
    SONGS WERE SUPER
    I LOVED IT
    IF U HAV TIME GO AND C IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    FOR ME ITS A 10 OUT OF 10

  75. The main actor normally drives the movie till the end. But this one seems to be a puppet show where the hero is simply doing whatever he is being told to (who was pulling the puppet strings?). He does not demonstrate any real heroic traits.

    Ranbir, grow up mann!

  76. all those who dint like the film, go get your brain scans done..
    and while youre at it, take spelling lessons…. coz some of you sound sooo UNEDUCATED and DEHAATi..

    anyways, i lovedddddddd the film.. esp the chemistry between ranbir n hiten… they were so funnnnyyyy.. hope to see more of them…

  77. Great Movie, Reminds me my love time, All songs r great, Locations are superb

  78. loved the movie!!!ranbir looks great!!!greek god!!

  79. This moviezzz ****! dont dare to watch it!
    waste of money …. waste of time….
    everythingz ****!!!!

  80. bullshit!!

  81. worst movie of the year….

  82. asa koi ha to samna aye. ranbir best in all

  83. Here i haven’t seen this movie but heard the songs like Khuda jaane & this song is amazing as it touches the heart of every upcoming life else i would love to see the movie nor twice or Thrice but more than that enumerable. Here i support everybody for their performance.

  84. stupid movie..

  85. FULL BAKVAAS HAI YAAR. RANBIR IS GOOD ACTOR THAN NIL NITIN MUKESH F…K

  86. Rubbish movie in five year

  87. when i saw this movie i feel like iam in hell

  88. nice movie,i like it.

  89. the movie was cool and ranbir rocks!

  90. what a awesome movie , infact something diffrent and fresh, i saw the comments and i was surprised they didnt liked it.comeon guys grow up. atleast i havent seen a story like this before. very good songs takes some time to get use to it but they are really good. every one was good in the movie. and i saw someone comparing ranbhir with neel mukesh, now whats the point in comparing those two guys who have diffrent style of their own.

  91. Very very colorful movie, liked it a lot. Good performance from all, especially Ranbir looked natural. Technical gtiches will always be there for critics. But overall a very good entertainer.

  92. verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad movie….boring all the time..nothing interesting…..only minisha was very nice and goodloooking in the movies …i just watched it coz of her..if i really fell in love with her…..i love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Minnishaaaaaaaaaaa! call me at +923455333500

  93. its okay..can tolerate once…not more than that

  94. This film sucks Don’t spend your money on this stupid film

  95. this movie i must say that the movie is fantastic everybody like it who dont like it are really dont have sense of humour to know which movie is great i think that people are sathiyaye hue budhe . this movie is owwesome i like to give 4 1/2*s to it

  96. Verry poor story line, I think they purchased cheap air tickets where ever they got and went with a camera and made story while on flight…uuff…tinkle cartoon illustration has a better story line…than this ****..forget humour….argghhhh….. i think its high time some one should make movie like andaz apna apna…typical of bollywood movies. yrj…is a mentally imbalanced *****. These directors are not worth even to perform a stage drama on a village street. Hell with them

  97. i loved the, ecspecially the songs.

  98. superb and fantastic movie. Finnaly a superb movie after Taare Zameen Par.

  99. hats off to ranbir…the movie was awesome….olready seen it 3 tyms..juss loved it ..superb…
    bips was gud..manisha..was a little odd..but yeah she did a fine job.deepika and ranbir.they luked super kwel together….
    and yeah..remembr..kisi killer ne kaha hai..kal toh nikal gaya..agar aane waala kal ko sudharna hai…den do summthin now……….
    wow…
    such movies are juss made once …….

  100. This movie is o.k.Ranir kapoor”s was too good but the language he used was horrible.Such cheap language I have heard the first time.I never expected this from Ranvir.I liked Deepika too.Minisha was overall looking very old.Bipasha was horrible.On the hole,the movie was good. Aisie movies hamein bohot kum dekhane ko milti hai.”Right”.

  101. Sorry Raj,But you are totally wrong.I loved the movie.

  102. very nice movie ranbir looks cute iloved it.
