Bewakoofiyaan

I personally feel 5.5/ 10 is too low for the movie. True its the same gissi pitta old story but there is one thing about the movie and that is fun. Aayushmaan has acted superbly and to that extend even Sonam Kapoor. But the best act was put forward by Rishi Kapoor.

There is something about the movie which gives you a feel good factor. If you are looking for a real intense and mind blowing acting then this one is not for you. But if you are looking for a nice movie which you can enjoy with your friends over the weekend then this the movie for you.

Nice movie.... I would give it 7-8/10 ...though I have given 10/10 which is only to increase its current rating.

In Bewakoofiyaan- at least they got the title right, for it rarely rises above the foolish, being one long journey of excesses. Is it a satire on today's shallow consumerism? Or a medley of brand endorsements? Is it about the intricacies of yuppie, fashionable love? Or about the perils of recession pockmarked life? Either ways, Bewakoofiyaan is mediocre, dim-witted and uninspiring.

Not that there is a story. The setting is flashy Gurgaon, specifically Cybercity. High rises, malls, coffee shops, and the occasional fisticuffs on the road- the signatures of Gurgaon is on show here. Young, upwardly mobile professionals Mayera and Mohit are very much in love. She, a Mango, Zara, Steve madden wearing chic financial whizkid, and he, arrogant and street smart, always struggling to keep up with his more gifted girlfriend. Unfair combination, right? Yes, that's what life is.

Leave Mohit aside, but Mayera, despite her middle class upbringings and apparent emotional intelligence treats her love story as an endless materialistic and hedonistic journey- pubbing, shopping, dining, pubbing, shopping, dining, pubbing, shopping, dining...you get the point. He flashes a credit card with a 3 lakh limit, to which she pulls out one with a 5 lakh limit. Mohit lets out a sigh. It is that kind of movie.

Things go downhill for him as he is laid off. On top of his demanding girlfriend and his own insecurities, Mohit has to battle a bulldog of a father in law who suffers from an extreme case of "no guy is good enough for my darling daughter" syndrome.

Ayushmann had a crackling debut in Vicky Donor, but much like his character in the movie, he has been straining to match those highs ever since. Here he, like Sonam is curiously flat, and they have zero chemistry. Sonam has this carefully coiffured image of a fashionista in the real world, which she has carried forth in this movie too. But there is little else about her, and she seems to have forgotten to carry her acting manual onto the sets of Bewakoofiyaan. It is only the past few years that Rishi Kapoor has grudgingly buried the mantle of eternal lover-boy and experimented with variety- pity that he has realized so late in his career that villainy, drama, comedy all does come naturally to him. Here too he tries to keep things energized, but there is this much you can do when saddled with a bland script.

Everything is forgettable- the music, the cinematography, the dialogs, the plot. There is zero emotional connect with the lead characters and that is kind of sad coming from a lady director who specializes in youth focused flicks. The film did not do anything to me, despite the familiar surroundings, or having actors that I like. Director Nupur Asthana barely touches upon real life issues such as joblessness, and changing gender expectations. Instead she focuses on buffoonery and style statements. Don't like, don't recommend. 5/10

Its Just a movie can watch for once ..........

If you have gf/ bf, Then

this movie will be more interesting as this happens in every love story

the character called mohit chadda ayushman would go through a critical career crises in his life and financially where his girl friend maya discuss about his financial crises the small discussion leads to heated argument between the both and build up egos and decide to broke, where they realize lately they cant live separately maya father helps the couple to rethink and make them reunion at last.

... good time passes away as you watch .....

BEWAKOOFIYAAN brings back memories of Anubhav Sinha's AAPKO PEHLE BHI KAHIN DEKHA HAI and Rahul Dholakia's KEHTAA HAI DIL BAAR BAAR, besides FATHER OF THE BRIDE and MEET THE PARENTS. It won't be erroneous to state that BEWAKOOFIYAAN makes a genuine attempt to entertain beyond tested flavours and it succeeds in evoking genuine laughs at regular intervals. On the whole, BEWAKOOFIYAAN springs a pleasant surprise. Watch this wonderful slice of life film for the super performances of Rishi, Ayushmann and Sonam, watertight writing, skilled direction and dollops of humor. Bewakoofiyaan is a genteel, slice-of-life love story that runs with one of the oldest of the standard devices of the genre – strong parental opposition to a proposed marital liaison, with money, or rather the lack of it, playing a big part. But the film does not turn either overly nonsensical or sickly sweet in an ill-advised pursuit of comic effect and cutesy twists. The drama is easy flowing and the romantic track believable. Bewakoofiyaan scores with its disarming simplicity. Even as it doesn't soar to dizzying heights, it is never less than watchable.

To start with ,I would like to dispel the fact that critics' r n not always correct, even they humans n thus bound to make petty mistakes, just like here, .. I myself got carried away by their take on d flick n forbade myself from watching it the release weekend but finding no other good release ,I finally got myself to see it, n boy, it ain't dat bad.. First things first, the movie belongs to Rishi sir, he just like amitabh sir is reinventing himself in his retirement age & his previous outings in last 5yrs.bear a testimony to that.. A role of a father, a Hitler types with his strict ,disciplined n honest approach to life, one who will not agree to a potential suitor with closed eyes n in fact will test him on all counts.rummaging thoroughly in his past., Be it his rough attitude towards his would be son-in-law , or his pride in mouthing" home secretary was my batch mate", he does it with gut-so n makes it so much pleasurable.. Sir , u just rock..

Now the lead protagonists, both ayushman & sonam give a decent act, ., ayushman looks good but his boyish charm n act reminds one of his past flick, he sure knows how to act but d script gives him the same type of act.. Miss sonam looks cool & a style diva n performs well, in fact has got control over her act n authority that was missing till now .. The problem here isn't the acting, its mainly the script, which does not give the leads to grow & mainly focused on rishiji... & hence the movie's best parts are the moments between ayushman & rishiji, ya heard it right, if only the same zeal was shown in moments between the leads!!!!To add to it,the horrible music & lyrics , the awful choreography & then d cinematography, thankfully they were few.. Even shooting in a city like Delhi n not able to score on the visuals!! Set against d backdrop of recession, it can be anyone's story of ups n downs n d problems linked to it.. It ain't a two time watch, but it certainly is a time pass n kudos to dis yr.'s supposedly best supporting act..!!!
