silvan-desouza Yashraj Films are known for making so many romcoms almost most films are made on the same lines, shot in exotic locales, girls wearing minis.etc Bachna Ae Haseeno was Ranbhir's second release after Saawariya which tanked. The film was his first film with YRF, He was paired opposite the lil older and hot Bipasha, Minisha and his then ladylove Deepika Padukone. If you remember an old Dev Anand film TEEN DEVIYAN(1965) The film borrows the concept but treats it like yet another YASHRAJ film with references to their films, be it background music of Dhoom, usage of their hit songs irrespective of the time period their film is set in. The film is given an episodic treatment, first Ranbhir in 1996 meets Minisha Lamba who like a typical Yashraj heroine dreams that she will get a lover boy like Raj from DDLJ as if she hasn't seen any other movie, she falls for Ranbhir after escapades which involve Ranbhir who never saw DDLJ suddenly having an orchestra play music of the title song,Anything can happen in Yashraj Land.... The episode is ended properly and then we go to 2002 where we have Bipasha and Ranbhir staying as neighbours in a posh building, Ranbhir is working for microsoft, he has a buddy Hiten Paintal Ranbhir and Bipasha fall in love slowly and have a live in relationship which became a norm after Salaam Namastey in Yashraj films but the culmination to their story is straight out of 1970s films where Bipasha is shown crying in rain on her wedding day. Deepika's story is far from convincing, she is shown as a taxi driver who studies side by side but has a wardrobe full of clothes also her certain change in behaviour towards Raj is unfathomable Ranbhir going to ask forgiveness from both is strecthed for too long, The Minisha track is at least okay but the scenes with Bipasha look unconvincing and the sudden end looks hurried.Direction by Siddharth Anand is good in parts Music by VS is okay, The title song which uses the old Kishore Kumar hit song Bachna Ae Haseeno is well made, Khuda Jaane is good rest are okayRanbhir Kapoor looks the part and handles all three personas well, this was his conventional role after his unconventional debut. Bipasha Basu is good in her part, Minisha Lamba is annoying initially but is good in second half, Deepika Padukone was very raw in her second film she is good in some scenes though Hiten Paintal is good, Kunal Kapoor has an effective cameo

ALLY HIRA This movie has definitely proves that Ranbir has acting skills which was'nt portrayed in Saawariya. Back to the movie.. Bachena ae haseeno is a modern age romantic flick with almost no flaws at all. Perfect casting of actors, exotic locations along with good script & screenplay. The story revolves around raj {ranbir} playing a playboy since teenage hunting for chicks to have fun & no doubt been showed perfectly for family viewers & didn't needed to show sex as it was not at all needed in the movie.The movie truly shows that being in true love definitely changes a person into something they never imagined. the journey from being a playboy till one women man is been showen perfectly with some very emotional scenes.The strength of the movie is the music, each & every song in the movie is filled with melody & good lyrics. The movie gets stronger & bonds the viewers with its music.Bachna ae haseeno is a truly a masterpiece which portrait's love in a new way, its a must watch movie for every one. Highly recommendable My rating - 10/10

bollywoodplusplus Just when you thought, Bollywood's first family Kapoor khandan is ready to hand over the title to Bachchan family, here comes a young, handsome, dude, who is here to stay. I never cared to watch Sawariya (from all its promos, it looked too wimpy). But this one surely is going to place him on the hot-stuff category! The three heroines are adequate, with spl mention of Deepika P. Though the character is bit unrealistic (who cares for realism anyways in commercial bollywood films?), but she definitely carries on the role of an independent, yet vulnerable character! Music is great, Khuda Jaane is going to the classics. You just can't get enough of it. Jogi Mahi takes time to grow, but when it does, it sticks. Lucky boy is yet another dhin-chak number with less substance. Shreya Ghoshal & Lucky Ali's Ahista Ahista is a lovely track, that takes time, but it becomes addictive. Another good note: thanks to Vishal Shekhar to have given youngsters some chance: Raja Hassan and Himani Kapoor are on the tracks, though very small contribution.Cinematography: well, I really don't believe in going to nice locations, Australia, Italy, Switzerland to make a nice 'looking' movies, however cinematographer has made use of locations well. While the movie cinematography is alright, but song picturization is surely a winner! Loooove the long sweeping camera movements in 'Khuda Jaane', the camera rotations in colorful 'Jogi Mahi' or the 'Bachna Ae Haseeno' title track with the morphs, or the scooter-on-the-move sequences in 'Ahista Ahista'! The movie is a great watch. Very contemporary, even the languages and dialogues. The other casts, like Kunal Kapoor, and Sachin (isn't he Paintal Jr?) do a great job.Overall, a decent watch. If you do have the DVD, watch the deleted scenes too. Kapoor is definitely going to become the next Hrithik Roshan (though real HR is not going anywhere).

parveshsingh I was about to get something new by watching this garbage but then suddenly i was more disappointed. Certainly a new generation movie with cool new concept but when the film ends u would have nothing special to think over.Few scenes u can remember. I gave it 1/10 as the acting was awful (obviously ranbir was there)and no great comedy or romance or any time pass.looked like tried to make success for new Kapoor family boy.Average movie with a great hype.don't watch it if u have to pay money.
