Bachna Ae Haseeno - Notepad
Bachna Ae Haseeno
quick review:
It's a reasonably mature look at relationships and gives women actual, believable roles to play. But alas, the finer points lack polish and the wimpy, predictable end completely disappoints.
This page has additional observations, other than the ones noted in the main review.
Plot Summary
Raj (Ranbir Kapoor) doesn't want to commit himself in a relationship and is on the lookout for a girl whose needs match his.
What Worked
- The joy ride in the snow was very well shot.
- Loved the way a guy who is so comfortable forming his relationships finds himself so vulnerable and lost when its time to break-up.
- Minissha Lamba's husband's character.
What did not
Note: This section simply lists the things that I did not like in this movie. This is not the overall impression about this movie. Please read the full review here
- How does someone who hasn't even heard of Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge teach a whole band of musicians its theme music within a matter of minutes? Just because it’s a Yash Raj film!?
- Deepika Padukone's straight look into the camera in her first few scenes.
- The standard white guy who shows up whenever Yash Raj Films needs a white guy be it British or Australian, who has the weirdest dialogue delivery.
Nitty-Gritty
This section lists things that I think are not important to the overall impact of the movie. In most cases, it could be explained away by something like, "we noticed the glitch after the scene was shot and there were schedule/budget issues and thus we could not re-shoot it". I like giving the makers the benefit of doubt, but I am amused nevertheless. Hopefully, they will tickle you too.
- Ranbir was playing the sax with one hand in the opening song. Can you really do that?
- Men wearing lipstick that matches their shirts! Yuck!!
- The first time 'khuda jaane' plays - when Deepika is wearing a blue gown, her right earring is missing!

Bachna Ae Haseeno...
It's a reasonably mature look at relationships and gives women actual, believable roles to play. But alas, the finer points lack polish and the wimpy, predictable end completely disappoints...
I actually disagree wid you..I luved the movie..but good review..=] I read other reviews n d film has got a mixed response!
Just yesterday a friend visiting London from Bangalore mentioned this film to me - not the name, just that it features Rishi Kapoor's son.
I wonder why film-titles are now bits of old, popular Hindi songs. This one of course is named after a song filmed on Rishi Kapoor in Hum Kisi Se Kam Nahin (I think) .
Just a bullshit review..I dint like bachna e hasino at all..Ranvir`s acting is wrost..Hasino`s r Ugly..Specially Bipasha..Its a waste movie..God tussi great ho is much better..Specially Salman is tooooo funny...i liked god tussi great ho pretty much..
Hi
This flick is cool and entertaining. One can't expect more than this.Definatly this is not a great film but a complete entertainer.
Imran, How can you liking / disliking the movie make the review bullshit??
good review but did not liked this movie
yuak...god tussi...sucks low standard animation... imran u dnt kw hw 2 watch a movie
bachna is a must watch movie
[...] get me wrong. The movie is entertaining and I would say totally paisa vasool unlike what some others have to say. I won’t delve into the story details or the technical handling of the [...]

the movie was pretty good. the message was clear. few laughs in it. liked bips and her character. i mean lets face it this is wat happens in most of the girl gets cheated and the girl closes all her doors and puts her defences up so hard that she ends up wasting her whole life abt something thats not worth it. anyways over all the movie was good,its got that what goes around, comes around thing. def will make a couple of guys guilty. enjoy.
Hey Imran
Its just review given by Mitu.. likes/dislikes differ from person to person. I liked the review. I find the movie well....
I disagree with you, I felt you have been a bit harsh on a pretty good movie with good entertainment value and a modern day story line. I enjoyed the light hearted comedy and the flow of teh movie, yes the ending was a bit hasty but worth my money.
An overall feel-good entertainer with a contemporary & unique plot & of course, Ranbir was great to watch . Bipasha's story & her equally good acting was the USP of the movie.But, somehow, Deepika lacked intensity . Actually, predictability & rushed ending played the spoilsport.But, then , Yash Raj movies are all about that only!
Meetu, thanks for linking my review. I think you are making a commendable effort with this website. I am so sick of the movie critics, who mostly write rubbish reviews and tell the whole story! I never do, because just like you, I think there is no fun if you tell the story. I think movie critics nowadays don't know how to write reviews so they tell the story which even a fifth grader can do!
My pleasure, Nita. The aim is to make this section of wogma as representative of the audience reaction as possible.
I think I'm almost fanatic about the 'giving away the story' bit. I started writing my own reviews because I hated reading the story, and in the hope that there are more people like me out there. Turns out there are! :) welcome to wogma!!
Thanks, Mansi and rakesh...there's unbiased review readers! :)
Imran & Samera - o-kay!
Thank you, Ashok, Raj and jacky for your wonderful support!!
Yeah, Shefaly, and the sad thing is the posters, promos on air and the name have very little to do with the tone of the movie.
Rash - Yeah, I liked the contemporary story too. I found the same insight missing in the details of the story.
Srishankar, Arijit - Glad you enjoyed the movie.
Absolutely, Sanjeev, that's one part that came across very well.

Except for a couple of scenes(and only the girls Bips and Mins), there was no feeling..
Ranbir seems to be an average actor, his dialogue delivery sucks..he does have some cool dance moves, but his acting skills .... is just not worth it..
Deepika.....u just look good..thats all....u r a real life lover of ranbir...cant u get some real emotion on screen?
i dint like the direction..it was a bits and pieces movie....
dont we have any good actors and directors over here ????
these hyped actors and directors are really sucking..grow up ppl and dont waste our money!
BACHAN hAI HASSENO SUCKS.... I can't stand that idiot Ranbir Kapoor. He is a terrible actor with a cocky attitue.. Freaking retards think his movie is great. GOD TUSSI GREAT HO on the other hand was awesome. Funny and good acting.
i think it won`t be a superhit because deepika is not such a good actor and even ranbir`s 1st film was a flop.only expectation are from the other two actresses
I think the movie bombed cos public is still going through furore of Singh is Kingh . they probably dont want to spoil the lingering affect yet .
I have seen worst movies like partner getting hit on box office
Simply a case of Wrong time wrong place movie .
Also i think movie crtocs should know the pulse of public , Shabana azmi types of film crtics should be on house arrest . i like the reviews on this site though ..they seem to know the pulse of general public
I Fort Bachna Ae Haseeno Was a Siikkk Film...It Was Bre Funni..!!
SSSSUUUPPPEEERRRBBB!!!!!!!
Hey liked the movie , but the two actresses i hate were there in this movie(bipasha n deepika!
i loved ranbir as raj n minishha as mahi!!! ithey were too gud in the film!
but i lyked it!!! actually loved it!
movie was kinda good. Wasnt God tusi great ho a copy of the movie Bruce Almighty.
timepass movie Ranveer worked good. story is averagely entertaining.
are you kidding? was it a movie. RANVER is a JOKER.
Yeah kind of movie watchable once if u have nothing else to do.
Bips Rocks ..
ranveer is good actor.movie was too good.story was very nice.
hi
it's true that bachano ae hasona wasn't good but i htink bipasha was really good in that film and i think god thossi great hai was better but i didn't like the salman khan acting because he is the shit actor in the bollywood
please don not ignor my rewiev and think about salman khan agin he is the shit actor in our industry..
first of all itz RANBIR and not ranveer. the movie is a really good movie.
second thing is that he acts really well.
Bachna was an awesome flick,Ranbir is a true Punjabi Munada wid drop dead looks.
FYI:-Imran you have some brains or ........
How can u compare a Sallu Movie with Awesome ranbir's masterpiece.
Cheers ranbir,u rock Man.
