Band Baaja Baraat | The Critique

Rating: 3/5
He might look like just another back-bencher of your class you whistles at girls and smoke cigarette at the paan-shop across the lane but he has it in him. Ranveer is some good talent; if not great. BBB is really lucky to have some fresh face like him and for me... YRF is back. This time with an unexpected BANG. 

From Chandni to Mohabattein, the secret of YRF movies were their songs and love stories. In latter part of this decade, they let the formula go slip and with the formula even success moved on. BBB brings in the formula back. The introductory song of Anushka reminds of good old days when in marriages the entire family used to gather and get involved in the National Wedding Songs. With first fifteen minutes into the movie, you start liking it.
BBB is a simple movie. Girl meets boy and they become friends and bizness partners. They love their work. One day something happens between them (read sex in inebriation) and everything shatters. Story is simple but the dialogs are stealer. Simple and with loads of fun. Performances are good, especially the lead pair.

There are a few flaws. The love making scene seems to be a bit out of place and second half is weak when compared to the first half. Music is good but a lot better is expected from YRF banner. Direction is simply superb considering a debut. Manish, man... you rock. In short, watch it. Its a good film. Without a big name, this is going to make a mark.

To detractors who say that Ranveer's father invested in the movie: Even if he did, he did for good. What's wrong in it? Atleast he didn't served a Pyaar Impossible...
