बेवकूफियां

'Bewakoofiyaan' is A One-Time Watch! It has some charming moments, which stand out. However, a inconsistent second-hour plays a spoilsport.

'Bewakoofiyaan' Synopsis: A hardworking guy, after losing his job, finds it difficult to deal with his materialistic girlfriend & her nagging father.

'Bewakoofiyaan' has an entertaining first-hour, which genuinely works. The sequences with the protagonist & his girlfriend's nagging father are interesting. Even the romantic-track has a charm to it. But, the second-hour is below the mark. Its consistent & sluggish.

Habib Faisal's Story has merits in the first-hour, but fails to engage in its second-hour. Nupur Asthana's Direction is fair. Cinematography is claustrophobic. Editing is average. Music by Raghu Dixit is ordinary.

Performance-Wise: Ayushmann Khurrana is fantastic. He's the best thing about this film. Sonam Kapoor looks sexy, but impresses only in some scenes. Rishi Kapoor is first-rate as the nagging father.

On the whole, 'Bewakoofiyaan' works, but only in parts.

OK, first of all i see many people massacring this movie. I can understand why. This movie is only for a specific set of audience and not for all. If you are a Chennai express, Jai ho, Dhoom 3 fan you'll probably end up hating this movie. But if you are upto something light- hearted then this is one of the best which Bollywood can offer. I do not want end up giving away details of the movie. The storyline is pretty common one, a love story which we all can relate ourselves to. Music is pretty good. It goes well with movie. Raghu Dixit has done a good job with bg music. Now about performances and characters, Rishi Kapoor was too much adorable, he has something new to offer in this movie, a "Disguised Villain". Ayushman Khurrana seemed as if he continued his role from Vicky Donor, which is a good thing. Sonam Kapoor was a eye candy, she looks gorgeous in this movie. Verdict: Go for it. This is a feel good type of movie. I enjoyed Bewakoofiyan!

BEWAKOOFIYAAN is a romantic comedy directed by Nupur Asthana, starring Ayushmann Khurana, Sonam Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor, in the lead roles.

The film revolves around Mohit Chadda (Ayushmann Khurana) who's the Senior Executive Marketing Manager at an airline company, and is engaged to Mayera (Sonam Kapoor). Life seems great, until he meets Mayera's father, who's interested in money more than love. And the whole situation becomes worse when Mohit gets fired from his job during recession.

Bewakoofiyaan, inspite of facing cold responses from critics upon watching the trailer, is quite a watchable film. The plot is extremely predictable and seems copied from several romantic comedies involving the father's hand in marriage. However, the one factor that makes Bewakoofiyaan very different is the reality check it offers about modern relationships. Most romantic films involve everything being just fine; however, Bewakoofiyaan, set in the backdrop of the Great Recession, offers a very realistic view of how money indeed is necessary for a relationship to work.

Inspite of all that, the film does have several flaws too; one of them being how the plot struggles to flow easily. Habib Faisal, who has written scripts for several great films like Band Bajaa Baraat, Ishaqzaade and Do Dooni Chaar, fails to stick one point. Case and point, he was trying to include the financial point of view of a relationship along with the idea of the main character impressing the father of his soulmate. The film would have been a lot better if it just stuck to one topic only.

The acting is quite good. Ayushmann Khurana offers an extremely good performance as a short-tempered, egoistic bankrupt man, and Rishi Kapoor offers a great performance, as always. Sonam Kapoor still needs a bit work in terms of her acting. Her fashion sense is extraordinary, however, after showing how well she can act in films like Raanjhanaa and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, she returns back to her earlier performance that does not show any improvement, whatsoever. That being said, Bewakoofiyaan is watchable as well for its great performances and chemistry between the two main actors.

The songs are quite alright to listen to, however, not extraordinary. Some of them are quite unnecessary in the film though and could have just been edited out of the film. In terms of the album, all of the songs are quite fine to listen to.

In conclusion, Bewakoofiyaan is just a one-time watch. As the name suggests, it is quite stupid to give it an entertaining screenplay; fortunately, it doesn't go over-the-top. It could've been much better though, but since it fails to do, it is quite forgettable. But if you are looking for quite a fun timepass at the movies, Bewakoofiyaan is the film you're looking for.

BEWAKOOFIYAAN- 5.5/10

WHAT'S GOOD: The story is quite unpredictable actually.Even if you know what's gonna happen, it'll at least happen in a way that is different from your imagination. Rishi Kapoor is mind blowing.You'd kill to have a father-in-law like that. The music is entertaining. The movie keeps its comedy category noticeable in every minute.

WHAT'S BAD: I guess everything else.The worst part is,there is almost no chemistry between the two 'lovebirds'. Sonam and Khurrana never reacted the way they should have... Not always their fault necessarily,but the shallowness of the story. In parts, may be you'll feel sorry for both, even a teardrop may dare to come out from your right eye(my case). But weird and meaningless EGO on-screen, will soon force it to get right back inside! The intention of being different and The fear of getting over-melodramatic made the characters alien from us.

You'll watch it but wont be able to see life in it. The story will go on but sadly you'll not be able to connect with any of the leads other than Rishi Kapoor.

But still, you'll like it for the laughs and a marvelous father-in-law. And if you are too kind, you might even love it.but I promise you, you wont be able to give it more than a 7.

6 with love, out of 10 for all the good that this movie has to offer. One time watch for me. Surprisingly, I did enjoy it!

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.
