Befikre - Preview

My kids and I play this game every Friday ever since they were 8-9. As soon as they are back from school they ask, “What was the movie about?” Invariably for almost every romantic film I say, “Boy meets girl, and guess what happens next...” And they say in unison (these days with an eyeroll), “love?” The odds are against Befikre even more since the boy and girl have promised each other to not say the three golden words.

As is the trend with love stories these days, the couple in question has to have a quirk to bond over. This once it seems to be the “dare” game. The dares and their execution were yawn inducing in the trailer itself. I hope Befikre isn't going to spend too much time establishing their daredevilry because I “got” it.

Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor don't look like they are calling on their acting chops in the first half at least. Interestingly, the all-important twist has not even been hinted at in the one trailer I saw. I would like to keep it that way. However, given the exposition in the trailer, it is unlikely that it will be anything unpredictable. Here's hoping it is anyway.

We usually talk about Hindi films in terms of first half and second half. Befikre had me think of it in one-eighths, where the seven-eighth part of the film looked like it could be a film different from what I was expecting it to be. For that bit, with the characters, the film felt as though it was taking a mature look at relationships - especially the romantic kind. But nada. Instead we nosedive with the film to a thud.

the seven-eighth part of the film looked like it could be a film different from what I was expecting it to be

Befikre, has the now-getting-old theme of lust vs. love vs. friendship. In such films, one overpowers the other two at any given point. But, we more or less, know the direction. It is the situations and the dialogue that have a chance to make the film engaging. The “dare” game in Befikre, which seems to be the source of all bonding between Shyra (Vaani Kapoor) and Dharam (Ranveer Singh) doesn't cut it. The couple then follows the usual pattern in their falling apart.

There is one difference though. Usually, it is the female lead who is intolerably shrill in such fights, here Ranveer Singh matches Vaani Kapoor note for note. This makes the first five minutes of the film intolerable outright. Other than that though the duo don't annoy again and get back into tolerable zone. They are playing smart, urban characters who are bold about their desires and clear about their needs. It wouldn't be a surprise if the actors are playing their real-life personalities, right? That's why it doesn't sound or look too impressive.

These characters aren't all black and white. They do seem confused about things that some of us might take for granted like commitment and not hurting other people. They flip-flop between their wants and don't wants. They have way too many change of hearts for us to keep track. We are used to seeing all of this in our films, and some of them we like more than others. Befikre just doesn't entertain or engage and gets outlandish by the end of it all.

There are lots of Aditya Chopra parallels to be drawn – from the change in role of parents to the shift in focus of romance to the changing nature of love over these last three decades. But, it feels as if, in his effort to be “free from his own cinematic traps”, he hasn't been able to wriggle out too far. The changes seems a little too perfunctory rather than germane to the story. The only thing that felt relatively relevant in the story is that the protagonists have “new-age”, cool-ish jobs that kind-a sort-a get in the way of their relationship. I guess that the woman has a job is new-age enough for us. Never mind.

That the storyteller in him had to adopt a non-linear style of narration gives away the fact that he wasn't too sure about holding the viewers' attention with the story as is. And of course, it seems like no one can help self-referencing these days.

That aside, none of the supposedly “aawwww” moments reach out. None of the supposedly “crazy” moments feel crazy enough or real. There are only so many times that we can believe a person getting away with offending the authorities in France (or anywhere for that matter). There are only so many times we can see the whole world revolve around the lead pair - which is no more restricted to background dancers in songs.

I guess that the woman has a job is new-age enough for us. Never mind.

The biggest put-off is that grown-ups behave like juveniles when in love. They behave as if they've never heard of age-old problems like toilet seats and wet towels. Makes you wonder if the writers have experienced real life, real relationships – those outside the movie world.

Warning: clicking on "full review" will take you to an external website that could contain spoilers.

Thumbs up, Bollywood Hungama : ...On the whole BEFIKRE is an urban youth centric fun entertainer with a new age theme which will find patronage with the youth. At the Box- Office, it will be loved and appreciated by the target audience. The masses might find the subject bold and shocking; however, they will be in a minority to make any sizeable impact to its box office prospects. A Sure-shot winner all the way.... full review

Thumbs up, by Sreeju Sudhakaran, Bollywood Life : ...Befikre might have its flaws, but it still deserves your time thanks to a breezy narrative and fantastic performances by Ranveer and Vaani. Expect something on the lines of DDLJ and you will be disappointed. However, if you have a thing for entertaining romcoms, then Befikre can be that fun date movie for you. ... full review

Thumbs up, by Tushar Joshi, DNA : ...Befikre proves that Aditya Chopra is a master storyteller when it comes to love stories. Watch it for Ranveer's easiest and most natural performance. A true romcom the film won't disappoint fans of the genre. ... full review

Thumbs up, by Renil Abraham, FirstPost : ...Ranveer Singh makes for a perfect Dharam. He's the quintessential Delhi brat who adapts quickly to life in Paris, and proves yet again why he's considered among the most versatile actors of his generation. Vaani has a job keeping up, but is able to deliver what the role requires. Most of the first half is given over to visuals of the couple making out. ... full review

Thumbs up, by Namrata Joshi, The Hindu : ...It tries to keep us smiling, even the emotional moments play out casually and are not about giving in to sentiments. And it tries to give us new lessons in love. ... full review

So-So, by Anna MM Vertticad, annavetticadgoes2themovies : ...None of this should come as a surprise if you look back at the extreme regressiveness of DDLJ. The difference between then and now is that, for the most part Befikre is not regressive. What it is is a film pretending to be subversive, revolutionary and evolved, when all it does is endorse a status quo. ... full review

So-So, by Zinia Bandyopadhyay , Desi Martini : ...Aditya Chopra was promising a movie very different from the rest, the second half is as predictable as it can get! It was disappointing to say the least! You will find the movie very disappointing and average if you are looking only at the storyline. But look out for the intricacies of his characterization and at how Adi has portrayed the female character. I will give 2.5 the movie, and a .5 extra just for Vaani’s performance and Adi’s portrayal of women ... full review

So-So, by Smita Vyas Kumar , Desi Martini : ... Befikre is a shallow, glossy movie that offers you no emotional satisfaction. Aditya Chopra doesn’t seem to have had his heart in it somehow. The highlight of the movie for me was the fantastic dance between Ranveer and VaniI can’t say too much about a movie where the high point is a dance sequence. Befikre is like a bubbly Cola; drink it, let the bubbles dance on your tongue momentarily and then forget it. ... full review

So-So, Filmfare : ...The performances though by Ranveer Singh and Vani Kapoor are excellent.... full review

So-So, by Josh, fullhyd.com : ...if you are immune enough to the whimsical ways of Bollywood, you'll find Befikre a well-rendered film... full review

So-So, by Vishal Verma, Glamsham.com : ...Finally in an attempt to end this on a nice note - I can say that I didn't hate BEFIKRE but that doesn't mean that I loved it either. The adorable Ranveer and Vani made it watchable but not lovable. ... full review

So-So, by Manjusha Radhakrishnan, Gulf News : ...One of my favourite parts of the film is when these two try being friends after going through an acrimonious break-up. They play that phase with conviction and you can’t help but smile at their collective idiocy. While the kisses don’t add much to the narrative, it’s heartening to see a director normalise that expression of love. ... full review

So-So, by Rohit Vats, Hindustan Times : ...In between the scenes of making-out on a busy road and stripping inside a library, Chopra also presents his classic yet clichéd theory. The apologetic tone presses for the audience’s affirmation in established Bollywood trends. ... full review

So-So, by Ananya Bhattacharyal, india today : ...Vishal-Shekhar have done a good job with the Befikre soundtrack. Ude Dil Befikre and Nashe Si Chadh Gayi are likeable earworms.... full review

So-So, Indicine : ...Conclusion: Befikre is the boldest movie Aditya Chopra has ever made, and even in his boldness he has made sure to not let go of his Punjabiness. The characters he has created are carefree and impulsive, and the urban youth will identify with these characters. Befikre starts off really really well with one of the breeziest first halves we have seen this year, and isn’t able to hit those highs in the second half and falls into a trap of clichés. But Befikre deserves to be watched. Why? For the chemistry of the lead couple and for the director who has tried his level best to try something new even at the cost of coming across as brash. ... full review

So-So, by Surabhi Redkar, koimoi : ...Befikre can be summed up in three Fs – fun, frothy and frivolous at the same time. Could become a preferred choice for collegians. A 2.5/5 for this Parisian romance. ... full review

So-So, by Mayank Shekhar, MiD DAY : ...At the base of it all is the new Bollywood question: “Kya ladka-ladki break-up ke baad friends ho sakte hain?” Can a couple turn back from a serious relationship and genuinely remain friends still? The answer to that will always be fuzzy. A lot like this film. But, this is fun.... full review

So-So, by Jaidev Hemmady, Movie Talkies : ...If you were expecting an intense romance, Befikre may disappoint you as the film lacks intensity and depth. However, if a fun-filled fare is something that you crave this weekend, then this film will surely work for you. ... full review

So-So, by Kunal Guha, Mumbai Mirror : ...The songs by Vishal-Shekhar are situational but barely memorable when consumed without the visuals. Apart from Nashe Si Chadh Gayi, none of them are even hummable. ... full review

So-So, by Saibal Chatterjee, NDTV : ...The film goes much further afield in search of true love and loses its way. If you dig that feeling, Befikre might be right up your boulevard. ... full review

So-So, by Manisha Lakhe, Now Running.com : ...Thankfully you know the film is going to end soon. It doesn't. Not before it gives you a horrible homily about how love is like bungee jumping. You don't want to know. You are suddenly missing the scene where bua from DDLJ is buying herself a shaadi saree and Shah Rukh is telling her which one to pick... Befikre is hornier than DDLJ could ever be, and that's fine, but it needed a little bit more soul. ... full review

So-So, Sify Movies : ...Overall, Befikre captures the "pagalpan and bachpana" that is the madness and childishness of its protagonists in a cliched and not classic manner. ... full review

So-So, by Nihit Bhave, Times of India : ...If you care for some laughs, some YRF nostalgia and are, well, promiscuous with your choice of romcoms, you could take a chance with this one. ... full review

So-So, by Saumil Gandhi, Upper Stall : ...It’s an out an out genre film; made like a true blue Hollywood romcom. ... full review

So-So, by Rummana, yahoo! India : ...The film works at some levels but leaves you disappointed at others. ‘Befikre’ is a breezy watch but it’s not a story sincere enough to tug at the heartstrings. ... full review

So-So, by Raghav Jaitly, Zee News : ...It can also be said that Aditya Chopra has raised the bar so much that he, himself, failed to match up the standards of his own filmmaking. At the end, we would just like to say that 'Befikre' is a decent watch this weekend. It will definitely attract young moviegoers, especially college students. It is hard to comment whether the family audience will step forward for this movie or not. ... full review

Thumbs down, by Baradwaj Rangan, Blogical Conclusion, The New Sunday Express : ...Befikre is joyless, rhythmless. The back-and-forth-in-time narration may well have been part of the screenplay, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling that it was more the editor Namrata Rao’s work, that she took one look at the rushes and decided something needed to be done to keep things at least minimally surprising.... full review

Thumbs down, by Bobby Sing, Bobby Talks Cinema.com : ...In short, BEFIKRE can only be seen if you are a die-hard fan of Ranveer Singh or willing to watch a promotional tour of FRANCE (Paris) along with a couple of good songs. ... full review

Thumbs down, by Rohit Bhatnagar, Deccan Chronicle : ...When a film doesn’t have a plot, even good performances can’t save it from sinking. ‘Befikre’ is like any other love story and seems more like a holiday trip for the film’s team. The only good thing about it is its melodious music, good-looking actors and their fair performances. If you are expecting a unique plot then trust me, you will come out disappointed. We advise you to watch Befikre with a strap of a disprin. ... full review

Thumbs down, by Rahul Deo Bharadwaj, Desi Martini : ...Befikre attempts a different approach to love and how modern generation believes in love in a different way from the previous ones. Unfortunately its climax is far more dud and boring then the most cheesy love story of the 1990s or 1980s. ... full review

Thumbs down, by Johnson Thomas, Free Press Journal : ...The two characters don’t have fleshed –out personas and Ranveer and Vaani can’t do much to make them more than what they are. This one is a sordid affair – unlikely that anyone would remember it for long. Given the size of this disastrous (a budget of around 70 crore) leap of faith, can’t say that Aditya Chopra can stay Befikre for long!... full review

Thumbs down, by Rajeev Masand, News18.com : ...What the film lacks is genuine feeling. Yes, even the frothiest of rom-coms need something real to keep you invested in its characters. I’m going with one-and-a-half out of five for Befikre. Aditya Chopra may have made one of Hindi cinema’s most enduring love stories, but this is a soufflé that sinks like a stone. ... full review

Thumbs down, by Ajit Duara, Open Magazine : ... same old mundane, post modern angst about the impossibility of separating love and lust ... full review

Thumbs down, by Sukanya Verma, Rediff : ...Ranveer's best efforts to infuse the scenes with a raunchy charm or mock them wilfully for effect befitting his Deadpool fanboyism are let down by a script that's too bland to rejoice in it. ... full review

Thumbs down, by Raja Sen, Rediff : ...It starts out shrill, turns predictable, and ends up chaotic.... full review

Thumbs down, Scroll.in : ...If a breezy, highly styled, armchair travel rom-com is your mood, then Befikre might be the ticket. But if you prefer insightful, warming and witty, skip this. ... full review

Anup

Knew that the movie will be average ,
but didnt knew that it would be such a disaster. Allover response is so bad.
And imdb Ratings are laughable.
Some more money saved. Another movie to skip.

Really a time waste and unwatchable!

Its really a Time waste movie :/

The movie is an average movie not that good. It is just like friends with benefits. But the Songs of the movie are good.

very nice movie for adult.
