CriticGirl91 This movie is strictly a pastime for it has the typical Yashraj elements-glamour, song and dance, appealing visuals, etc. Where it loses big time is in the script. The pull offs by Ranveer's character are very unimpressive and far fetched like never before. Since the movie moves sequentially, I'll try to do the same.For Parineeti, I don't get all the hype. She is no different from a typical brainless Yashraj heroine, bubbly and bimbo albeit Preity Zinta. And no, I did not find her expressionless acting to be 'cute'. For her story and character, it is as shallow as the performance, and there is nothing interesting enough here to comment.I am impressed by Dipannita Sharma, a model who can act. She gives the character exactly what it demands. But unfortunately the character is poorly written, and this one story is the most unbelievable of the three. Fooling a self made business minded woman cannot be cakewalk.Aditi Sharma is cute and also a performer. Her character's story is boring to say the least but it is her performance that makes it endearing.Last here is Anushka, who looks exotic and gives a very earnest performance. Undoubtedly, she has the central role here. I can give one star each to this movie only for these three brilliant ladies. Unfortunately, her's is another poorly scripted character with nothing beyond the ms. goodie-two-shoes.As for Ranveer, I would give a big thumbs down for his monotonous and uninvolved performance. He has great scope here to be a real charmer, but that never comes across.The music is average, but poorly fitted in with songs coming out of the blue and seeming absolutely unnecessary. The background score is offensive and irritating. The predictability of the story will make you yawn.I watched Dumb Laga Ke Haisha before this, and I can say Yashraj has truly evolved. Please don't regress to this level again.

Sohini Mukherjee (creative_sohini) When the Magnificent team of BAND BAAJA BAARAAT came together for a new motion picture -- LADIES VS RICKY BAHL, the expectations definitely soared upwards.BAND BAAJA BAARAAT was an underdog with no expectations attached to it, but it was the dark horse of 2010.LADIES VS RICKY BAHL fails to meet the expectations due to the predictable & stupid script.Its a conman's story,where Ranveer fools 3 gals Aditi Sharma, Dipannita Sharma and Parineeti Chopra and takes a huge sum of money from each of em..later the 3 gals appoint Anushka to con him back and get the money...but finally he falls for Anushka..and he changes...But the planz by which they con each other were soooo stupid..The story is such a cliché...and takes inspiration from the Hollywood movie "John Tucker Must Die".Ranveer is the scene stealer here, he slips into the shoes of the character wid perfect ease. he may not be the Quintessential good lookin hero but has the aptitude to go places if he chooses the right films and makes the right career moves. Anushka Sharma exudes solid screen presence with natural acting. She looked oh so hot wearin the "Black Bikini".Dipannita Sharma & Aditi Sharma were OK in their respective parts.But Parineeti Chopra is a complete surprise, She has wonderful screen presence and acts freely. Movie goers will adore Parineeti & her character...On the whole, LADIES VS RICKY BAHL is a descent one time watch.One definitely expected more from the director of the immensely likable BAND BAAJA BAARAAT.Ranvir & Anushka as Ricky & Ishika were da highlight of the movie........but " BITTU & Shruti" ..""Bread Pakode Ki Kasam"...I missed u & ur awesome chemistry...

SonalSudeep Again a Yash Raj movie,again a Maneesh Sharma film,again Anushka-Ranveer pairing that worked wonders in Band Baaja Baraat,but on the contrary Ladies vs Ricky Bahl never has that element of magic that BBB had.Of course u can blame Anushka coming to the fore in the second half,but the movie actually subsides in the second half itself not only because of some boring sequences but the predictability the movie creates as we rush through second half.First half is fun-filled specially because of the presence of Parineeti Chopra (Priyanka's cousin) and it never ever seems its her first movie.Ranveer as always is impressive not only in conning girls but flaunting his body with those 8 pack abs.Dipannita and Aditi have done commendable jobs.Anushka(especially in the black bikini)looks hot.Songs are OK.Overall the movie could have been better in the second half.Go for it only if you are an ardent fan of Ranveer.I go with 6/10

namashi_1 'Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl' is A Decent Entertainer, that works in parts. The First-Hour is quite entertaining, but the Second-Hour isn't really arresting. However, it's a film that will pass your time. 'Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl' Synopsis: A charismatic fraudster who cons ladies for a living finally meets his match when a bunch of his conquests form an equally crafty plan.'Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl' has a winning first-hour, which is full of entertaining moments. The 1st chapter is engaging, the 2nd chapter is fair, while the 3rd chapter is quick yet effective. The problem with this film, starts in it's second-hour. The entire thing of getting back to the Con-Man to teach him a lesson, is not that entertaining. Even the climax for that matter, looks superficial. Aditya Chopra's Story is watchable, but not memorable. Maneesh Sharma's Direction is good. Cinematography & Editing are passable. Music by Salim-Sulaiman, is energetic. Performance-Wise: Ranveer Singh is impressive. The actor performs his part with confidence from start to end. Anushka Sharma enters the scene late, yet does a fair job. Parineeti Chopra makes a terrific debut. Her comic-timing is just perfect. Dipannita Sharma is appropriate. Aditi Sharma is nicely restrained. Others lend support. On the whole, 'Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl' is, at best, a time-pass fare, that works in parts.
