Band Baaja Baaraat - Wogma Readers Reviews

Band Baaja Baaraat

Ranveer Singh, Anushka Sharma Dir: Maneesh Sharma

wogma rating: The keen should rent; else TV ^(?)

quick review: Band Baaja Baaraathas umpteen points where a viewer could suggest changes to make it a better film BUT that doesn't make it a bad one. The super-basic plot looks naïve but has nice facets of a man-woman relationship built into it.

Ranveer Singh – (Bittoo Sharma) - Interview
http://www.bollywoodchaska.com/content/ranveer_singh_bittoo_sharma_interview-2170/
I’ve wanted to be an actor since I was a child. Throughout my school years I used to participate in debates, plays etc. I was never very good at academics or sport.

Sonal:

i was surprised to read a positive review on another website but then that belonged to a newspaper and we all know how much to believe...but when the same points are praised in another review,you do notice. any change in yrf is welcome,i stopped watching their films after the disastrous Laaga Chunri Mein Daag,i felt so cheated then.but a movie not having any regular 'stars' and still eliciting such a review should be worth a look..on DVD for sure :)

moviebhakt:

no expectations... heard some good words about this movie from somewhere... checked wogma's ratings and decided that this can be given a go... hadn't watched a movie in the theater for a long time and therefore, went to watch the movie today... mast movie hai, mazaa aa gaya!!
the 2nd half was not so good and in fact requires some immediate editing and was not at all able to keep up with the expectations that the initial half of the movie seemed to promise.... but for me, the 1st half was thoroughly enjoyable... after a long time, I am having a hangover of an actress after watching her movie ;)... even told this to my wife and she told that I am blushing on hearing Anushka's name....
btw... loved the the aviyan aviyan song and it's definitely going to be a favorite in pubs and shaadis...

Tantanoo:

I think I agree with whatever you've written here. Btw, the Yash Raj promo is a teaser of their new Youth Films division. Can be found online.

meetu:

@anand sorry, completely forgot about it, will add in a bit.

@moviebhakt yeah it does have a hangover, even if only for some specific scenes and not the movie as a whole.

@tantanoo i know, but can't find it online. can you please send me a link?

Kalyan:

Hey! This movie felt more like a jing-bang & romantic version of Rocket Singh, maybe because of the underlying entrepreneurship theme.

I totally agree with moviebhakt about having a the hangover of Anuskha Sharma. She was awesome, esp. her expressions and dialogs.

meetu:

@Aks ouch! you hated it that bad, huh?

@Mansi thank you!

@Kalyan yeah the entrepreneurial theme added a nice flavor, i missed the ups and downs one would see in such a business.

Mansi:

Stepped out of the theatre an hour back. Couldn't resist writing this one. Full-on entertainment. It's 150 minutes well spent. The newbie Ranveer Singh is brilliant as Bittoo. Bittoo's angrezi is as good as his sense of binnuss. Both ranvir anushka make an entertaining pair. Kudos to both for their effortless acting.

Band Baaja Baraat recreates the magic of dilli - the shaadis, the people, the culture, the language, the food. Everything about it. From Janakpuri to Sainak Farms, dilliwallas can't afford to miss this one.
