Film: Bachna Ae Haseeno Click for more info

With a 3:1 ratio of girls to boys, there was no chance that I wouldn't enjoy Bachna Ae Haseeno. The film tells of Raj (Ranbir Kapoor) and his various relationships as he goes on through life, learning lessons as he goes.

Well made and produced there isn't much to complain about here. BAH is as funny, cute and sassy as the three women who lead it - and I can't even knock the endearing Kapoor as he charmed his way through the 3 hours or so and it's been a while since I wasn't totally annoyed by a leading male. Major props also go to Bipasha and Minissha Lamba, but I have to say both take a massive second place behind the magnificent Deepika Padukone, whom I seem to have fallen brutally hard for. Hey look, it's real this time okay?

It was great to see more of Australia (this time, Sydney including Bondi Beach) and Switzerland, but even better to have a film of this stature taking place in Mumbai too. Music-wise the film does better than the dross we've been seeing lately, with the track list being both fun and apt to the respective situation at hand.

I would say that the film isn't as deep as it could have been - the cost of developing three different relationships when other films struggle with just the one. But still as long as you're not expecting anything more than a good time pass you won't be disappointed.

  2. Deepika Padakone is something. Fell in love with her Indian outfits in Om Shanti Om.

  3. Went to see the flick yesterday - it wasn't too bad. Deepika is a starlet but Manissa was pretty cute too - she's not a bad actress either. Our opinions on movies are starting to match - yikes!!!

  4. Minissha Lamba and Deepika Padakone are cute. Very cute! But Bipasha Basu is quite simply sex on legs! Although she has TERRIBLE taste in men... I mean Cristiano Ronaldo!!!! And I'm even a Salford Red!

  6. Lets elaborate on some more inaneness and female objectification ( erm, Shak, one must ask: do you actually have any other reguklar readers other than your fans San and myself?! ):

    Cuteness:

    Deepika & Minisha > Bips

    Sex Appeal:

    Deepika > Bipasha > Minisha

    Face / Prettyness / Natural beauty (?!?!?!)

    Minisha > Deepika & Bipasha

    Hot Body:

    Deepika > Bips & Minisha

    Acting skills:

    No comment!

    Female envy:

    Deepika > Minisha (Bips doesn’t make it to this)

    Ossie: as much as I’ve always respected your opinions, don’t you feel Bips is reaching the end of the Sex Factor road? But hey at least she’s bagged a fitter-than-her guy. Smart Girl!

  8. >> Deepika is more then cute dude - i'm a chick and I dig her!

    Perhaps women go for different women than men do? :-D

    >> Ossie: as much as I’ve always respected your opinions, don’t you feel Bips is reaching the end of the Sex Factor road?

    Nah. Women don't get seriously sexy until they've matured a bit. And there's a difference between attractive, fit and sexy.

  9. >>And there's a difference between attractive, fit and sexy.

    Funnily enough, yes I realised that! The first two never truly applied to Bips and the one that did is gearing towards its expiry! ;) IMHO, of course.

  10. Exactly. For example, Shabana Azmi is stunningly attractive. I think the most attractive Indian actress of all time. But neither fit nor sexy.

    The difference is all about what you would like to do to / with them. >:)
