Dil Bole Hadippa - Wogma Readers Reviews

Dil Bole Hadippa

quick review: Is there a quota system at Yash Raj Films? Under which they assign a certain voluminous budget to no-script scripts? What is it that makes these one-liners with lofty, sappy aims into full-fledged, feature-length, films of no less than 2.5 hours!?

nareshallu:

Absolutely Very Good Review by... Meetu....Very week story point..very week comedy...and Rani is not good to see in that Punjabi man getup...

Anoop:

Thank god... I almost saw this film on this Thursday. And last minute decided to go in for Unnai Pol Oruvan (Tamil remake of Wednesday)...

Now I can see that it was a very good decision....

meetu:

@nareshallu thank you!

@Anoop glad to be of help!

Shuchi:

I was quite put off with the fact that a movie that pretends to be about equal opportunities for men and women, has such strong gender bias. In the climax, Rani is completely at Shahid's mercy to play or sit. Even though she takes the team to victory, she does not even win Man of the Match - that goes to the hero. It is he who decides when it's time for her to reveal her identity, not she. So much for women's empowerment.

meetu:

@Shuchi extremely annoying...yes!

Shardul:

"actually it yells, get outta here!" lol very true, If only I had followed your review I wouldn't have been mentally harassed in the theater !

meetu:

@shardul That's what you get for not listening to your elders! Ha!!

Rohit Sharma:

your movie review is awesome.I m agree from u that this is a movie for women's empowerment,but still something is totally missing from movie,may be it is from wrong marketing or lack of chemistry
Actually the runs hit by indian team are unacceptable,specially from rani.Overall movie is only timepass.

Alya:

I think Dil bole Hadippa was a film was amazing, The dances, musics, the places was colorfull and it were nice. The chemistry between Rani an Shahid was good too :D

mahek:

Even i think dil bole hadippa was an amazing film
well everyone has different opinions

TimELiebe:

I was originally going to say "Aw, but I liked this movie, meetu!" - but then I read your review...and everything you said was Spot-On! The best part of the movie by a long shot was Rani Muhkerjee as a crack female cricketeer who disguises herself as a male Sikh to play on the Indian Cricket Team (and some day, I'll remember to put the "h" before "k" when singing her praises on an Indian Film Review site). It's also fun seeing Anupam Kher again.

As for the rest...? Yeah, it was pretty dire, between the rhapsodic talk and singing about the pure honest magical glories of the Punjab like some American Far Right propaganda film (we saw this right about the time we also saw NAMASTEY LONDON and DILWALE DULHANIA LE JAYENGE), and how the screenplay tried to have its sexist cake and eat it too as an feminist empowerment saga. I think Shahid Kapoor was appropriately cast as an arrogant British cricketeer - which may be part of the problem, since he never really unbent all that much even when he was supposed to.

Still, Ms. Muhkerjee's performance says all the screenplay elides or outright denies - and single-handedly almost saves this movie.
