Film Review: Band Baaja Barat

Sunday, December 12, 2010

Writing film reviews is not my style, but this particular film deserves all the accolade it can collect. Band Baaja Barat is a family entertainer and cute film so to say. First time director Maneesh Sharma has proved that he is very talented and has captured the Dilli up to the mark. The story is easy flowing and the film leaves you with a smile on your face. the music of the film is not very great but the title track is very catchy and likeable, so is Avainyi Avainyi.The look and costumes are very true to the characters and are very real. The only speed breaker is the love making scene which again is not shot badly, it is very classy despite the fact that the leads were making love in there 10 x 10 shop.

Now let me give you a summary of the film, its the story of Shruti Kakkar  played by Anushka Sharma a determined Dilliwali who wishes to become a Wedding Planner. Bitto Sharma played by Ranveer Singh is a lost youngster from Saharanpur who would do anything but help his father in farming. Both meet in a wedding and Bitto tries to woo Sonu, but as fate has it they end up being partners in Wedding Planning business (or as Bittoo pronounces it BINNESS). They hit it off and are complementary to each other until one day Shruti finds herself in love with Bittoo, everything starts to go wrong and Bittoo isn't even aware of his feelings, rest you should go and see for yourself.

As for the actors Anushka Sharma has finally arrived she is too good as Shruti and is convincing as a strong headed Dilliwali. Newcomer Ranveer Singh is gonna give Ranbir and Imraan a run for their money, he is supremely talented as an actor, he is so confident that you start to believe in his character. Even the rest of the supporting cast is impressive. Hats off to Maneesh Sharma and  Habib Faisal for a youth film which is actually has a story. In this era of senseless films like "Break Ke Baad" and "Anjaana Anjani" which are made on huge ass budgets and shitty storylines , do not live upto their promises Band Baaja Barat is a genuine gem. 

My verdict : Band Baaja Barat is a paisa vasool entertainer and a great film for all age groups.
