Directed by Siddharth Anand of ‘Salaam Namaste’ and ‘Ta Ra Rum Pum’ fame and produced by one of the biggest production houses in Bollywood; Yash Raj Films ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’ stars the hottest couple of the tinsel town Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone along with the sexy Bipasha Basu and the beautiful Minissha Lamba. Bachna Ae Haseeno is Ranbir and Deepika’s second Bollywood movie (after Saawariya and Om Shanti Om) and their first film together.
Great production house, good director and a very interesting star cast; does Bachna Ae Haseeno work?
Before we proceed into the analysis part, let’s take a sneak peak into the story of Bachna Ae Haseeno.
Bachna Ae Haseeno Story
The movie is about Raj (Ranbir Kapoor) and his relationships with the 3 women in his life.
Mahi (Manisha Lamba) is sweet, innocent, romantic and lives in the DDLJ world. She truly believes that she could bump into Raj (Shahrukh Khan’s character in DDLJ) anytime. For her life is nothing but a fairy tale with paths of flower carpets. Radhika (Bipasha Basu) is sexy and smart. A girl of today, Radhika is a struggling actress who is looking to make a mark in the film industry. Gayatri (Deepika Padukone) is a cab driver in Australia who sets her own rules, regulations and doesn’t abide by what the society says or thinks. She also does not believe in marriage either.
Bachna Ae Haseeno revolves around these characters and speaks about the short flings that Raj has with each of the girls and the lessons of love n life that he learns from each one of them.
Bachna Ae Haseeno Review
Bachna Ae Haseeno is a movie for all the guys out there, not that it has nothing in it for the female audience. The guys would easily connect with the male lead character. The other characters too are well etched and easy to identify with.
The movie starts off well, the first half is a romantic comedy with the main lead (Ranbir Kapoor) involved in 3 love stories. The first story with Minissha Lamba is sweet typical teenage romance. Its funny at times and well directed. The second with Bipasha Basu is about a live-in relationship. It’s exactly what most guys seek for, a non committal relationship with a hot woman. The final romance with Deepika, the most important of the three as most of what followed in the second half is a consequence of the Deepika – Ranbir story, isn’t convincing. Overall though, the first half is entertaining.
The second half is emotional (which is okay), a bit too long and very predictable. The execution of the script by the director especially in the second half could have been better. The editing too could have been much crisper. The music and locations, well it’s almost like a world tour with a song in every single location. Two songs stand out, the classic Bachna Ae Haseeno and Khuda Jaane. The cinematography is fantastic; the locales of Australia and Italy have been beautifully captured.
Bachna Ae Haseeno Performances
Ranbir Kapoor stands out with a good performance. He’s talented and has immense potential. He also shares smooches with all three leading ladies, the one with Bipasha was quite passionate. Must say, some guys are real lucky! Bipasha Basu carried her glamorous role with ease. Minissha Lamba was inconsistent, good in parts. Deepika Padukone has nothing to do! In a small role, she does well. Audience who expect more of Ranbir and Deepika on screen will be disappointed but their chemistry was pretty good.
Overall, Bachna Ae Haseeno is a good movie which had potential to be much better. It would garner mixed reactions. Some will just love every bit of it; a few might just hate it and some in between. At the all important box-office, BAH will do much better than God Tussi Great Ho, which for some reason hasn’t been in news even though it stars Salman Khan and Amitabh Bachchan.
Rating: 
Other Notes - If you have followed the news here, you would be aware that Katrina Kaif was also a part of Bachna Ae Haseeno. Her role was eventually chopped off as the runtime was going well past 3 hours. Am very curious to see what her role in the movie actually was. Lets wait for the DVD, hope they include Katrina’s part in the Deleted Scenes.
God Tussi Great Ho, which also releases with Bachna Ae Haseno has just not been in news. Very strange that Salman Khan was promoting BAH on his popular game show Dus Ka Kum.
The review of God Tussi Great Ho will be up by Friday evening (IST). Be sure to check it out.

I saw the movie last night!
I think it sucks! Yashraj on on roll to deliver bad movies. The songs were not good, the story loose and boring in second half.
I was just waiting and waiting for the movie to end.
Give it a miss guys!

Indicine Team: I’m the 1st one who wrote her review about the movie but under Singh Is King’s Box Office Collection last night and that’s because I planned yesterday to watch it but didn’t. So decided to watch BAH.
I’ve read your review which is very good, but I disagree with u that the 2nd half could be better. Yes, it’s a long movie but the audience enjoys every scenes and never feel the time passes.
This move is very good for young, loverboys who want to have fun with some girls but with no committments ( and that is a fact)so might change them to a better and might give them the feeling of “guilt” and that’s the purpose of the film ’cause million of girls in this world failed in their relationship with their boyfriends and brokeup ’cause of this reason. ( so the movie is giving the audience a very good message, a meaningfull movie)
And about Salman’s movie, it’s a copy of Bruce Almighty and I don’t think it’s a good direction movie, I could say from the trailer which I watched. Might satisfy only people who didn’t watch Bruce Al Mighty and who love Salman Khan only.
And Indicine Team: What do we want from watching any movie? We just need to enjoy the 3 hours or less, not getting bored and have a good time. And this movie does it all. It’s just perfect and worth - at least - 4 stars and not 3 stars as u mentioned. And who’re the lead actors in any movie, that doesn’t make any movie good or bad ’cause the script, the direction, the production is the most important plus the performance of the leading actors whether they were newcomers or some super stars.

hoooah, now Ranbir became the 2nd most favorite actor after Aamir. His character in BAH mix with most my sentimentals…so I like this movie a lot
Yes, it was quite predictable in some parts, as we know its from Bollywood, others all are OK without complain. The 3 actresses did whatever their role demanded, but still then Ranbir is the best. His chemistry with Deepika will grow high in temperature….so folks dont ever give a miss to this movie if u r a teenager.

I saw i.. Im confused a bit. Its not a bad movie in ne way, but not a gr8 either! Give it a watch without much xpectation. Ideally-2.5 stars.. The movie had d potential 2 be a v.good fare but couldnt convey it. I think d 2nd half of any film sets the tone whether u like it or not. The 1st half of BAH ends on a v.interesting note and 2nd half begins v.well. The culmination f minisha lamba track couldnt have been better! But aftr then d movie lets u down! Bipasha’s track in 2nd half look ameuterish and u dnt feel 4 their characters here.. And deepika’s track in d half has been done in such a haste! Also d 1st half is not meant 4 family audience as it has ranbir wanting to sleep with evry hot girl! Also there r some cheap jokes in d 1st half.. So what do u guys feel abt my review??

Haha.. Akshay Kumar fans!!
Fathiya, Bachna Ae Haseeno isnt 4 star material as there are some genuine flaws in the 2nd half. I would have been delighted if they had ended the movie when Bipasha forgives Ranbir! That would have been a classic but brave ending! The Deepika - Ranbir story was unconvincing. And the Minissha story although well directed had many question marks like.. at the age of 18.. girl - guy fall for each other badly (mostly a crush) but love at such a young age rarely makes a life long impact that too when its only a 2 day love story. It takes time to fall deeply in love. So it was kind of surprising that Minissha look trust in love completely and never really got over it even after 12 years had passed by..
Bipasha and Ranbir story was the only one that was convincing, but again the way they handled it in the second half was disappointing.
So yeah its between 2.5 - 3!
Post your thoughts :)

Dear Indicine Team:
Everything is possible in life. Minisha fell in love deeply in 2 days, from her head to her toes as she was a romantic girl and her first love. And u don’t know how much it hurts the girl when this happens to her ( I’m a woman and fell in love deelply when I was in her age but wasn’t disappointed or went thru the same stage). So when Minisha was shattered and married a guy just to please her family, so she couldn’t love him. It’s very hard for a woman who’s in love with someone to force herself over someone else. Or, as it was obviuous that she didn’t want to open her heart for her husband to accept his love and wanted to live like a statue, not to get hurt again. That was the reason for her avoiding her husband.
U r a male, and male can’t understand all this, but I’m as a woman, I did understand what she went thru. Not only her, even Bipasha in the movie was shattered, her lover left her on the day of marriage without leaving her even a note as he was a (coward). So.. did u see how she behaved with her staff? She was very cruel and heartless woman. This happens and did u see her revenge when Ranbir existed again in her life. She wanted to punish him, so she assigned him to be her assitant and to be her slave!
A very convencing movie. In our real life, girls revenge r worse than what the movie showed the audience. In real life, some girls look for the guy who cheated them and destroy his life and some use black majic for the revenge purpose, but in the movie, Menisha didn’t do anything, she punished herself as Ranbir told her, and Bipasha became a cruel woman, that’s it.

I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE MOVIE (LOVE STORY 2050) A MOVIE WHICH U ALL DIDN’T LIKE BUT I LOVED AND CONSIDERED IT ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF THIS YEAR, HAD SOME FLAWS, BUT DIDN’T AFFECT A GOOD WORK OF THE DIRECTOR. I WATCHED IT 3 TIMES AND STILL WANT TO WATCH IT. I LOVED ALL THE SONGS OF THE MOVIE AND I’M LISTENING TO THEM EVERY DAY.

Dear: everyone’s taste is different in this life. Our taste for movies exactly as our taste for decoration, colours, songs, clothes, etc.
It’s not that I want to give some credit for some bad movies as u said. Sometimes some movies we enjoy and others don’t .e.g the movie “Welcome” wasn’t this movie a hit?! The majority loved it!! I found it stupid Kachra movie, and many other movies which I already mentioned.
U can’t force anyone to love a movie just because the majority loved it. And so many didn’t like it in our country Bahrain. Indian people loved it, but other nationalities found it a crap and a waste of time. It’s just because we r different in the way of thinking and our taste, that’s it.
I’ve decided to see Singh is King today at a show at 12.30, and I will watch it to see if the movie worth all this hype. But I believe in what (U name it ) said that it’s for sure a crap one.

I can’t ask u to watch it again ’cause this movie was good only on a big screen and not to watch it thru a c.d. as it portayed night life and was shot indoors.
People are different like colours, when I find a movie very interesting, others find it boring, therefore we differ and fight on websites!

Sajid: No.. Ranbir is a part of the movie, his performance as a newcomer was so good in Saawariya and he’s cute, loveable, could win everyone’s heart. He was overacting in the last song “Saawariya” but I believe that the actor does what the director asks him to do.
I loved Saawariya and considered as best of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ( he, himslef also considered Saawariya as his best movie) and he’s right, the audience was wrong and didn’t appreciate his good work, as happened for LS2050 which was also a very deserving movie)
I loved it for the following reasons: Excellent direction, cinematography, and shooting indoors which gave the movie a new flavour. I loved the shade of blue and green which u (all) didn’t like! I loved the music, the melody of the songs, Jabse Tere Nenah, Todhri Badmash Hae Tum & Jaane Ja.
I didn’t find it boring at all. If for me was a boring movie, I wouldn’t have gone to cinema 3 times to watch it. As I said, what’s nice for me, might be a boring for u. I love slow songs with good lyrics and meldoies, but my father hates them, my daughter too! See.. how we r a different people!

Welcome, JTYJN and many other silly movies which I mentioned already in my comments r made for “idiots” like u to watch Ankur, but not for people who’ve brain, such movies won’t satisfy except “shallow people” who never want to think!
And.. didn’t your parents teach u how to talk to others if u want to discuss any issue and show some respect?!!!
If I found Ranbir Kapoor a talented actor ( and everyone found him very talented) and deserves to have good roles, why does it bother u?!! That’s my opinion, and Ranbir’s acting is far better than Akshay Kumar’s acting when he started in bollywood. Akshay’s career started only since few years. He started to win people’s heart only after he did a good role in (Dadkan) before 6 or 7 years as he played a good guy and after he got married and settled down as he was a playboy before marriage.
So Ankur.. if u want people to respect u, do the same, respect others that u get a good feedback from them!

Well, I really like ur matured comments u posted here. For liking any movie it depends on different people, of different moods. So we have no rights to stop others watching it. As compared to JTYJN i personally like BAH coz Ranbir acts much more impressively than Imran.
Yeah the story in 2nd half was quite far away from reality n some parts were unnecessary, as well Gayatri-Raj story could have been a little in details.

Cybersupam: Hi.. Imran Khan’s acting in JT was just normal, but I have a feeling that he will grow big in future, and after doing some good roles in good movies.
I enjoyed BAH, yes.. it’s quite long but not boring at all, and what Ranbir does in the 2nd half doesn’t happen in the real life, but the director portrayed what’s right to do, therefore I loved the script. In the real life, who’ll visit his ex-girlfriends to apologize for them and tell them that he was wrong? No one does, that’s a fact but the movie is sending it’s message to all the men in this world, that this is the right thing to do. Unfortunately, many people watch movies and never appreciate the messages delivered to them.
I admire this director now ’cause so far he did 3 good movies with 3 different messages for the audience. In Salam Namaste, a message to all the men to face the responsibiltiy when the their girls r pregnant. In Tararampum a message to value your money, save them for the black day and never spend them, waste them on unnecessary stuff, and in this one as I mentioned above. I love meaningful movies.

Its really ridiculous to even compare Akshay with Ranbir, even on his early days Akshay was acting personified. He was tagged as the Khiladi of Bollywood with several hits to his name like Khiladi, Mohra & many other movies & to add to all Akshay was no star kid to have easy access to big names directing him or any other advantage this star kids do get. He made a name of himself on his own, he didn’t needed a film to be titled on his father’s, infact he didn’t have one to. Ranbir’s second movie and he trying to boast off his father’s success, that itself is a ridiculous thing. I like those people who make it on their own like Shahrukh, Akshay & all. Akshay was not a trained actor whatever he does on screen comes naturally to him much like SRK, they are called great actors. Akshay’ acting was always delightful throughout his careers right from his early days.
You can compare Ranbir with Imraan, but then also people have already given their verdict. Imraan’s first movie itself is a huge huge hit, whereas Ranbir has got two big flops against his name, that makes it 2 out of 2 flops for Ranbir. Personally i too feel Imraan is immensely talented as his promos looking really good in his next movie KIDNAP. What else you wanna say this stats says it all, they can’t lie, the people won’t lie? Now you can’t always blame the directors or the producers they can’t be wrong every time, people like Sanjay Leela & Yash Raj are big enough to make a movie hit but even that hasn’t worked for Ranbir, ofcourse not to mention the theme & the old song from his dad’s movie can’t do any good either.
Though i can wish the flopstar Ranbir some luck in the future, well if so many favourable things can’t help him get a hit i am sure my wish won’t be able to do much.

@Fathiya
And yes another thing that you mentioned that Welcome & JTYJN are silly movies. Well see we people all have lots work & we all go thru various stresses in life & we watch movies to get entertained rather than sit, analyse, think on the movie(i think one can do these once someone gets old like after retirement), so these movies brings cheers to us, we get our money valued & gets entertained. Thats why people like these movies & they were super-duper hits, whereas movies like Sawariya(correct me if i got the spelling right coz i havn’t watched even the title of the movie enough times) & BAH are super super flop. And please let the audience decide don’t negate the verdict given by the audiences in terms of these stats in BO collections.
And remember only great actors are able to make people laugh its the toughest acting in the world to do, not any Ranbir can do it.

Shail: Forget about Indian movies. Let me give u an example how some people find a movie interesting and others find it boring although it’s a big and a huge success.
Did u see (The Dark Night) a hollywood movie, a batman movie. I’t a successful movie, a blockbuster I assume, some members in my family asked me to watch it, and I did, went to cinema with my daughter who loves these type of movies, superman, spiderman, batman. And believe me, the cinema hall was too full and we thought we’d have a good time.
The movie started and after 30minutes i was feeling very bad, got bored, my daughter too. The movie didn’t have anything new to offer, and we just wanted to leave after watching the 1st half. But other people found it very interesting and loved it.
We can’t convince each other ’cause what’s interesting for u won’t be the same for me. It’s not that I set in my seat and analyze any moive. I was very impressed when I went to cinema to watch JTYJN ’cause I loved the promo and the review on this website encouraged me to do so. But when the movie started and just 10 minutes passed. I had a great feeling that it’s a dissapointing movie. I just found it bad and not interesting and when the movie finished I just told myself: Did people really like this crap?!! I loved only the song Kabhi Kabhi and Smita Patel’s role in the movie ( if u want to know the reason, u’ll find my comments under the review of the movie)
Let me give u another example of how people r different. When I go to watch an indian movie, I can’t wait for any song to start as I love Hindi songs and what I noticed that many Indian audiences leave the theatre and take a break when any song starts!! A movie become a super hit, or a hit, that has many reasons for it, e.g. the movie (Aap Ka Suroor) wasn’t this a hit movie? and why? I’ve the answer ’cause of Himesh Reshamya’s last year songs, Himesh is no good to be an actor ’cause he lacks the look as a hero. His songs only the reason for the success, and the movie was just one of those which u see one time and u forget about after a short while! ( and I don’t like his voice)
Many people found Ranbir Kapoor as a talented actor not because his dad is an actor ’cause he’s (really) a talented boy who lived in a family who r all actors, therefore, he learnt ’cause he had the passion for movies, to be an actor, and he got all the qulaifications for this job, same as Abhishk, his dad and mom r actors, and Hrithik ( his dad was an actor and now a director) that’s very natural that he became an actor, but not all actors’ kids are talented. Why then Ranbir’s sister didn’t join Bollywood? Why Amitab’s daughter didn’t act? Everyone can’t act, even Imraan Khan, his uncle Aamir is a famous actor and now a producer and a director who supported him ( if it wasn’t Aamir, I don’t think he’d had a chance to join bollywood only after killing himself and family just facilitate for them, that’s all).
So, if they have no talent and a zero qualification they won’t make it in Bollywood or Hollywood e.g. Mithun’s son ( just a zero in Bollywood, a failure)
I got no more explanation, and hope that would be clear enough for u to understand.
