A Sublime Love Story: Barsaat

Barsaat review :

Bobby Deol must be the only actor to have two Barsaats in his resumè - the first one was his debut release in 1995 with Twinkle Khanna while this one, released ten years later, had two beauties - Bipasha Basu and Priyanka Chopra - cast opposite him.

Written, produced and directed by Suneel Darshan, Barsaat was an unusual love triangle where Bobby falls in love with the richie rich NRI Bipasha Basu even though he has a wifey (Priyanka) secretly tucked away in India. He visits India to seek divorce from her, wifey refuses, Bobby now falls for wifey. The triangle thickens...

Two things stand out in the otherwise average film : One is some melodious tunes composed by Nadeem Shravan specially the title song and the second and most important is Bipasha looking absolutely hot and sexy in each and every frame she appears in. Truly, it is Bipasha who makes Barsaat bearable to a significant extent.

I had seen the film at Dadar's Plaza Cinema with a huge hoarding of the rain drenched leads at the entrance. It was actually raining that day and I came out humming the song "Barsaat Ke din aaye.."
