Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani

 

Cast: Deepika Padukone, Ranbir Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapoor,Kalki Koechlin,Kunaal Roy Kapur

Director:Ayan Mukherjee  

Genre: Romance, Drama

There is nothing deewani about this jawaani!! You can comfortably ignore and save your evening. Stands true to my already nil expectations

Pluses:

• All thanks to the item number by Madhuri Dixit. What a delight to watch her on big screens. She still maintains the same charm and killer gestures, this ones surely enjoyable
• All the perfomances by the elderly actros, however short were adorable
• Miserably so, but i cant think of any other pluses to this one :)

Lukewarm:

• Ranbir Kapoor can also act lukewarm guys ;) And this movie is the example for it. I have no idea what made him sign on this one. Nevertheless, he was still watchable even though he failed miserably to justify a travellers spirit
• Aditya Roy Kapoor is good but its only the director who knows why did he show up all the time sad, disappointed, angry and never happy throughout. And not to miss a drunkard yet again. Good for his career that Aashiqui 2 launched before this one, else the former could have never worked for him
• Kalki Koechlin was sweet and bubbly and nice, but again had nothing significant to do
• Kunaal Roy Kapur is branded an idiot by now, and he plays that well :)
• Music is just about ok except for the 'balam pichakari' number which is untimely but good to ears

Minuses:

• Deepika Padukone remained out of focus for the most of the movie. Though she is the female lead but she hardly had anything to play. Poor her!!
• Coming from Ayan Mukherjee, its a big let down. The movie clearly lacks direction. There were constant events all through the movie but missed all connections, there was no feel to the movie, you dont feel emotions, you dont feel the dreams, you dont feel any craziness or happiness. It fails to generate any expression on your face except for yawns
• Script is ridiculous. Never anything practical. Disconnected events and hardly any story. And the worst is the grandeur that they tried to show in the wedding of an Engineer, mind you!! :D
• Songs were highly misplaced, they used to happen just anywhere anytime at all, would say quite irritating as well
• Very very lame dialogues. You dont laugh, you dont cry, you do nothing but wait for the marathon to end somewhere
• Sad advertisement of tourism Manali, highly improbable and impractical and only so so filmy

  

My Rating: 1.5/5
