90's masala popcorn films are back thanks to movies like Wanted , Dabangg , Rowdy Rathore. Unfortunate part is that movies are getting repeated and outdone and the essence of the flavor is dying. Besharam tries hard to entertain you but falls flat on the face.

Besharam tells the story of a car thief who had to steal back the car he sold to a gang-lord after he falls in love with a girl whose car he stole.

From the critically and commercial acclaimed director of Dabangg, much was expected from Abhinav Kashyap but the lousy direction , insensible screenplay and terrible story gives you a headache which you never asked especially from star like Ranbir Kapoor. There is no plot here and frequent insertion of songs just spoils the entire mood of the film. Music is a complete letdown. Art direction and cinematography is decent. Ranbir Kapoor disappoints big time. For the first time in his career , he does not do justice to his role. The new-comer Pallavi Sharda is wasted. The chemistry between her and Ranbir Kapoor is terrible which is very much required in this kind of film. The only saving grace are comic relief by Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor who are good but not great.

Overall, Besharam is loud, lousy and unconvincing. Not recommended. 1/5

I went to watch Besharam only for Ranbir Kapoor. He is one of the most talented young actors of Bollywood cinema with superb roles like Rocket Singh, Wake up Sid, Rockstar, Barfi to his name at such a young age... So this looked like he was going for another experimental role and given his track record, I expected he will pull it off.. but unfortunately; this is everything gone bad in one movie.. This is a mindless action-comedy with no script.. Jokes are old and unimaginative.. Ranbir tries hard to be the shameless yet good at heart mechanic - thief who is not shy about anything that he does or says.. Its the script and direction that lets him down. Pallavi is OK considering this is her first movie in a lead role. Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh are a total flop for the role in which there are supposed to provide comic support but end up irritating. A huge disappointment of a movie from Ranbir Kapoor. You may end up finding it average if you go with zero expectations. I give it 3 /10.

Ranbir Kapoor seems to have comfortably established himself as the next biggest superstar after the sun sets down on the Khans who are nearing their fifties. A natural actor that he is, most of his movies have been well received; even in those that didn't make money, his acting was appreciated.

Well, here is his new offering 'Besharam' that has a lot of masala: there's comedy, romance and action and directed by Abhinav Kashyap of 'Dabangg' fame. Predictably, some references and parodies from his earlier film are seen here; the lead character being someone who does wrong stuff but has a heart of gold or naming one of the key supporting characters as 'Chulbul' after Salman's old character.

'Besharam' begins with an introduction to Bheem Singh Chandel (Javed Jaffrey) a hawala kingpin in Chandigarh who needs stolen luxury cars for his business. His need gets him introduced to Babli (Ranbir Kapoor), a mechanic who is also a car thief. And since the hero ought to be a good guy, he is seen donating all his earnings to an orphanage he grew up in.

Wait: Babli is referred to as a smooth criminal and the first car theft that we see of his involves a massive chase drama with cops! And that's supposed to be super smooth, huh! Nonetheless, the chase sequence is used to introduce us to the cop-couple, who are also Ranbir Kapoor's real life parents, Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor, who are childless and eventually think of adopting someone.

One day, Babli's eyes fall on Tara Sharma (Pallavi Sharda) who is a middle-class girl with big dreams of living a big life and marrying into money. On one occasion she also insults Babli who has been trying to woo her. But it so happens that the Merc she bought to show off to her friends gets stolen by Babli, who doesn't know it's hers and delivers it to Chandel. But then, there's a twist in the tale.

As such, the story has nothing new. Some of its situations are so flawed and are a throwback to the 80's. Silly chase sequences, preposterous plot situations that are simplistic extensions of some weirdly idealistic scenario. And then there's the forced love angle between a lead pair that has no chemistry whatsoever. Of course, there's toilet humor too. Still, some of its better jokes are quite funny.

The film's weakest link is its lead actress. Pallavi Sharda, an Indian- Australian and trained dancer does not have the looks or acting skills or even screen presence to play a lead role. Also, despite the high heels she is seen wearing, she is way too short to be paired with Kapoor. The only plausible reason being casting an unknown girl would've been to keep the focus solely on their superstar!

But despite the weak plot and songs lacking punch, the only saving grace for the film is its lead actor Ranbir Kapoor and his ability to carry off any film; although that didn't apply to his debut film. His antics convince you to believe in his character and feel for him and also laugh at his lines which he delivers with an accent that only makes him seem more authentic.

Nonetheless, no heroic charm can save 'Besharam' unless it makes its money using the hype that surrounded its release and the news that it is being released on 3600 of screens, tad more than 'Chennai Express'. But if audience reactions to simplistic comedies are the way to go by, there is no reason to believe why 'Besharam' won't do well. After all, it has a big star and it's a comedy!

Verdict: Well, there's nothing much to expect as a story and some of its funny scenes are actually similar to old movies. If you are in a mood for masala entertainment and random humor, 'Besharam' would suit your funny taste buds. If you are slightly more discerning, you won't really like it. But, if you are a huge Ranbir Kapoor fan, none of these reasons apply anyways.

movie doesn't deserve more than 2/10 , 1 for Ranbir Kapoor and other 1 for the producer who was confident about this movie, the movie starts as typical bollywood movie, with a song, the first half of the movie is watchable and the second half , i recommend you to get out the theater cause it's a complete disaster. reasons why you should watch this movie: 1. you have nothing else to do, even watching a insect is much entertaining than watching this movie. 2. if you hold grudge on someone take him/her and make him/her watch it. 3. watch if you want to have thrill in your life, i will pray that you survive this disaster. Finally Watch at your own risk.

I walked into the theatre, expecting to watch a bad film, and still walked out feeling baffled, because the film was way worse than what I had anticipated. I'm just disappointed for wasting my money on this. But I've myself to blame to be honest. The promos were really bad, and the songs were lifeless. The off-screen drama surrounding this film didn't do any good either - and just put me off completely. However, being a huge Ranbir fan, I did hope to at least have fun in the cinema. This could just have been one of those so-bad-that-it's-good films. Alas, no. It's plain bad.

To give credit where it's due, the first half of the film was bearable. It had some funny scenes.... but post interval, the film completely crashes. By the climax, I could have pulled my hair out or poked my eyes with my straw. That would have been more entertaining than the on-screen mess.

Sure people will argue that this is a masala film, and you got to leave your brains behind, etc - and mind you, I've nothing against those potboilers, and I sure know how to enjoy a good masala film. But this was just one big bad, repulsive film. The makers didn't get anything right - which is shocking considering they had a unique cast to work with, and the director's claim to fame is the cult classic - Dabangg. Right from the concept, to the execution, to the humour, to the performances, to the music and to the graph of the film. It was shamelessly poorly executed. And really, what will work against this film is that you do not expect 3such a trash-fest from someone like Ranbir Kapoor.

Abhinav Kashyap might have a hard time finding producers for his next film - unless of course his brother steps in. It looks like his arrogance took away the talent that he promised with his debut film. The writing and direction left a lot to be desired. And the screenplay goes completely haywire. The love angle especially is completely forced, random and brings the film down. Music by Lalit Pandit is shockingly poor. Can you believe this guy helped deliver gems like KKHH or DDLJ? There are too many songs, which sound awful, and act as complete speed- breakers - in a otherwise route-less film. Their picturisations leave no impact whatsoever, expect that the choreography is well weird. I'm guessing Remo was in-charge because I could spot him in the first song, but the steps were a bit crude and too rhythmic. Ranbir danced good though.

If the film was a letdown, the performances were worst. Ranbir Kapoor is a great actor. Period. And I love the fact that he's constantly trying something new. He's versatile. For sure. But picking a different role is not where the story ends. You need to be able to bring it to life, to make the audience believe its you, to pull off the role and deliver a good performance. As Babli, Ranbir leaves all the boxes unchecked. First off, he's just not Babli - and throughout the film, it becomes more and more obvious that he's trying too hard. He struggles to act, and this is the first time I've hated watching him on-screen. I wonder what made him take such a repulsive character, and not add any endearing quality to it? Not even in his performance? And his ''I'm-an-orphan-so-I-can- steal'' act was anything but heartwarming. Giving himself a disgusting look, unfortunately doesn't help make his act convincing. He's over the top and completely hams his way through the film.

Neetu Singh - probably one of the most elegant leading actresses - gives her son some good competition, although she does have a funny role until the cliché part leading to her 'character-growth'. Bad performance. Javed Jaffery is completely wasted and adds nothing to the film, while the leading actress - Pallavi - has nothing going in her favour. She shares no chemistry with Ranbir, is no great-looker, and completely messes up her romantic/emotional scenes.

Rishi Kapoor, for me, was somewhat the 'best' performer. It was however painful to watch him completely ridicule himself in the first ''potty''scene. Did he really have to do this?! Toiler humour & I don't gel well, so this one was repulsive scene for me. That aside, he was cute and acted well, as expected.

Ranbir & Pallavi made the most awkward on-screen couple I've seen in a while. They both looked disinterested in each other. The camaraderie/chemistry between the three Kapoors left a lot to be desired. It pains me that THIS is the film they chose to come together? It's just not going to work in their favour. Whatever happened to Rishi & Neetu rejecting countless of scripts because they weren't ''good enough''.

The ''jokes'' didn't really work. I chuckled a few times, but the humour was too much ''in you face''. And way too crude for my liking. :shrug: Ranbir's butt-crack, getting-hard jokes, constant humping in songs,... it was all way too much to digest.

At the box office, this film is going to prove a disappointment. I'm expecting a big opening, but with the kind of negativity the film has amassed even before the release, along with the atrocious reviews, and I'm predicting poor word-of-mouth, film will shamelessly be out of most theatres soon and fail to leave a mark.

Speaking of which, if anything, Besharam will leave a daag on Ranbir's career. He might just hit the jackpot with this one - worst film, worst performance and biggest disappointment in his career.

Avoid.

Besharam- the first time i ever walked out of a movie. It was so bad that even i didn't laugh at the 'jokes'. A song at a colorful Mela. Gosh, are we in the 80s?

Were Abhinav Kashyap and Rajeev Barnwal high when they made the film? Nevertheless, Ranbir Kapoor must be really besharam to have signed for such a film.

Actually, screw Ranbir. I feel really besharam to have wasted 95 minutes of my precious IB life watching such a movie.

P.s. A moment of silence for all those who already watched the movie or still plan to do so

Imagine a day so bad that you'd want to delete it from your memory. A day where nothing went your way and only got worse as the day progressed. A day where you thought you'd hit rock bottom and things could not get any worse... that would be a good day to go watch this movie, cause its then you'd realize how quickly things can get even worse !!! This movie left me with a headache and a sense of bewilderment as to why an actor like Ranbir Kapoor would even consider a movie like this, let alone going through with it. The movie should come with a warning "watch at your own risk" .. so people please please do not go spending your money or bandwidth to watch this movie ... and if you still do please keep some aspirin handy !!

I was excitedly waiting for the arrival of this movie as it is directed by Abhinav Kashyap who directed the blockbuster Dabbang but after watching the first day first show of this movie I regret that I wasted my money on this movie. This movie completely crushed my expectations.It is literally a pathetic movie.The storyline is poor and doesn't make any logical sense.The characters are portrayed by big stars but are not able to deliver even satisfactory performance due to a fragile storyline which changes its pace abruptly. There are a few funny scenes which may make you giggle a little bit but aren't that memorable.By the end of the first part you will already get so bored that thoughts will come to your mind of leaving the movie midway.The producers and director claim that the movie is a mixture of action, comedy,drama and romance but seriously it is a complete mess.One of the main thing that one should be prepared for while watching this movie is that senseless and unnecessary dance sequences and songs will be thrown at you every 5 minutes which will make one's soul be teared apart every time a song comes and that too the lyrics will make your ear bleed. By the time the climax has come the movie would have changed the complete scenario of the plot.This movie is a package of irritating comic sounds,a few humorous moments which come after long gaps, bad script and horrendous songs.After watching this movie you will be like " Dafuq Did I just watch?".Don't waste your money rather download it if you are eager to watch and I assure you that after downloading and watching this movie you will regret wasting your bandwidth on this movie.The only people who can like such movie are hardcore Ranbir Kapoor fans and they might dislike my review but I am only telling the truth. If you are planning to watch a movie with friends or family try to avoid this one.

Since my childhood, I have always been fond of Hindi movies. You were expected to ignore the non-existent plot because the songs and everything else made it up for it. However, as you grow older and you experience cinema from different countries (South Korea, Japan, French etc) and realize, you can not enjoy the movies once you use to. Why? Predictability of these movies or the fact, you have grown up but the cinema you love, quite has't. Anyway, back to this movie. I actually, expected this movie to be different and entertaining. I enjoyed Ranbir's previous movie (even though many parts of copied), but with this one, i felt let down. The performance, plot and everything felt stale. There were few nice moments during the start of the movie but it starts to drag during the 2nd half. Therefore, I would advise you not to waste your money and perhaps, watch it on cable at a later date. Lastly, Bollywood will lose it's fans if they don't create more genres or meaningful cinema. Most people can easily access movies from other countries and sooner or later, they will prefer to watch something which meets their expectation, not keeps letting them down. Cheers.

Appalling and it is shamelessly appalling. I expected this to be over the top and loud. But this was cheap overacting.

I loved some moments like the way ranbir utters "picture main bhi dekhta hoon bhaai saab". Yet these are few and far and in the meanwhile we are given over acting and to digest it would be a serious challenge.

It made Ranbir the talented to Ranbir the tortuous. Sadly this film does not do justice even to the generally wonderful pair Rishi and Neetu kapoor.

Without writing much as I save my precious words for other activities, I can just say "now its not on streets anymore" so watch only if you have absolutely nothing worthy to do.

A 1/5 would be generous. That 1 is for the laughs it tries to evoke.

I watched Barfi and went to see something good but the movie was just average.. It was good till the intervals with some funny scenes but after the interval it became just a B-grade movie.... The dabang style fight scenes made it pretty obvious and pretty boring in the end... Ranbir acted good but the Rashi kapoor scenes were a serious spoil of the movie......... I would say its a disappointment......... I rate it 5.5/10 because of some good scenes before the intermission.. Don't watch if you are expecting a good movie......But if you want to watch some comedy then watch it till the interval.......after that there is nothing to watch really.......just some plain poorly written script but the music and choreography is good......

Director Mr. Abhinav Sigh Kashyap work is average. Story line is OK but screenplay is very convenient and routine. Dialogues, especially the humorous and satire ones are very good but in romantic scenes or emotional scenes, dialogues fail to leave impact. Writers of this movie are director himself and Rajeev Barnwal. Love track is taken for granted and it is the biggest minus point of film. They have done spoof on many films, so many times it reflects somehow Barfi then other films. Comedy is also OK types. There are just a few scenes where you will laugh out. Performance wise Mr Rishi Kapoor is awesome . Just watching him on screen gives some divine feelings. Neetu Kapoor is good. Ranbir Kapoor is fine. Pallavi Sharda as Tara has nothing to do much and her performance drags it more. Javed Jaffery is so so. Music by Lalit Pandit is OK.Title song lyrics is good. Another song Tu Hi Piya Re...lyrics written by Nikhat Khan is impressive.

An year ago, one could only think of Khans as the Superstars of bollywood, but then suddenly a young, charming as well as talented actor came and changed the equation. Ranbeer Kapoor has always been my favorite, reason being his sense of choosing the scripts. He has always taken nice scripts right from 'Wake up sid' , ' Rocketsingh', 'Rajneeti', 'Rockstar' and my all time favourite "Barfi', but as they say heavy paychecks can make the most talented people do the cheapest things one can imagine. Directed by Abhinav Kashyap who has previously directed 'Dabangg', 'Besharam' is nothing but one more masala flick which lowers the standard of bollywood.

Babli (Ranbeer Kapoor), is a thief who steals cars and sell them to earn money, and like our bollywood heroes, he is the man with a golden heart who gives all the money to the orphanage he lives in. He meets Taara(Pallavi Sharda) a middle class girl who lives with her mother, and falls in love with her. By mistake, Babli steals Tara's car and when she get to know this, Babli promises her that he will bring the car back and leave all the illegal things that he does.

Besharam, is the height of bollywood stereotypism, there is nothing that we haven't seen before,and what makes it worse is the direction. Even though Abhinav Kashyap's first outing 'Dabangg' was not a good film by any means but it was way better then what Besharam is. Dialogs are bad, jokes don't work, songs are boring and too many.

Talking about performances, Ranbeer tried to enter into the Salmaan Zone, but forgot to read the warning "Only for brainless people", though the actor tried very hard to look convincing, but the story and the characterization was so weak that it did not go to the level that we expect from Ranbeer. Pallavi Sharda is a complete misfit, she has had one angry look throughout the movie, even in the romantic scenes. Rishi Kapoor as inspector Chulbul Chautala is as always brilliant, I wonder what made him work on such a pathetic script. Neetu Singh Kapoor is top notch as the cunning wife. Javed Jaffery as the bad guy is very good as well.

'Besharam' is the biggest disappointment of the year so far, it had a mediocre director, a super talented main lead and a wonderful supporting cast but what came out on screen is a senseless, idiotic piece of cinema that we all have witnessed many times before. Do yourself a favor, stay away from this one even if someone gives you a free ticket.

To begin with, it is the most disappointing film of Ranbir Kapoor till date, pulling him down to that routine level of big stars who are very much afraid of trying something new and therefore keep playing safe serving the same old wine to their loyal viewers every year.

Actually films like BESHARAM become possible or get made only because of the confidence acquired by their makers due to the stupendous success achieved by their previous project. In this case, it's director Abhinav Kashyap and his famous venture DABANGG featuring Salman Khan. Now just try to figure out, that what kind of a lesson, the director would have learned from such a huge success of his first project. Obviously the lesson has to be that here in India; we don't need a story, screenplay or any novel idea to make a film on. But all we need is A Big Star to say yes and the rest gets arranged quite easily. That was the exact idea with which DABANGG was made and that is again the rule followed by Abhinav in his second venture called BESHARAM.

Hence please don't look for any solid story idea here or anything exceptional in execution as clearly declared by the title of the film being BESHARAM. The film damn cares about any story progression in its first half and is only interested in giving you some cool (irregular) entertaining sequences entirely written around Ranbir Kapoor alone. The so called plot is revealed just before the intermission and by the time its pretty clear that this is nothing but just another film made to en- cash the star value associated with an actor, by fooling the audience as usual. 3 songs each in both the halves ruin the pace further and the film drops badly post intermission only to recover in its last 30 minutes with a partially enjoyable climax. And that in fact is the only saving grace of the project, wherein both Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh jump in to rescue their Star child from a badly conceived film all together.

Putting it simply, this is the first time I found a bit of over- confidence as well as over-acting in Ranbir Kapoor's carefree portrayal of a spoilt brat. He looks like overdoing the act, far away of being natural in many of his scenes and that was indeed a very painful sight for me as a viewer, who rates Ranbir Kapoor as a blessed exceptional actor with a vision. Plus, the film's second half has many weird, illogical scenes which certainly make you wonder that who actually directed this. Like the silly chase sequence, where the goons are firing rocket launchers at people's homes in Chandigarh's local residential lanes & more. However, the moment Rishi-Neetu join in, they start providing those much required enjoyable (yet deliberate) moments in the end and try hard to save the film from sinking with their sincere efforts.

The inconsistent writing affecting the film from its first frame itself is accompanied by some feeble performances too led by the wrong casting of Pallavi Sharda in the female lead. The girl is no doubt confident and good looking too but honestly there is no chemistry to be found in the screen pair here. Moreover casting Pallavi in this role clearly proves the point that the makers strongly believe in the theory that when A Star is there in your film, then you don't even need a well known face to feature in it as his heroine. Javed Jaafri looks good as the tough villain and Amitosh Nagpal just fills in the space as Ranbir's friend. But sadly, I didn't get what I was expecting from the real-life couple Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh playing the corrupt police officers together. Their act is very fine at times but also looks forced in and too loud in some scenes mainly due to the unimpressive writing. Yet it was truly great to see Neetu Singh in such an unconventional role like never before and I can only wish the couple was given some better scenes together by the makers. No doubt this was a golden opportunity wasted here unarguably.

Apart from the unconvincing performances, BESHARAM also has a routine background score and a very mediocre kind of soundtrack, which one simply forgets while walking out of the theater. Now we all know that Ranbir is a brilliant dancer. But even a fabulous dancer needs good beats and catchy compositions to perform better which are not there in its seven tracks, composed by Lalit Pandit. Further, the cinematography fails to impress majorly since the art director makes a very fake looking Punjabi Mohalla set in the first half and the action director hasn't got anything new to offer in his fights.

Returning to the major spotlight of BESHARAM i.e. Ranbir Kapoor, it seems that the once visionary actor of WAKE UP SID, ROCKET SINGH, ROCKSTAR, BARFI & more, has lately made up his mind to make some quick loads of money instead of supporting good films and lost his creative vision in this wicked rat race. With a hope that he soon gets back on track with another gem of a film, I would like to conclude that there was only one dialogue in BESHARAM which could impress me, worthy of taking back home in those 2+ hours as a valuable life teaching lesson. And it was that, "Life gives you back in reverse, what you give to others. So if you do "Bhala" it returns back to you becoming "Laabh" (if studied in reverse in Hindi) and similarly if you do "Daya", it comes back to you as "Yaad", since the person always remembers you for the help given.

But other than this one precious line, I found nothing in BESHARAM quite shamefully.

The Dabangg directors turns into Besharam and its flop.Trailers and songs are not that much effective that attracts mass audiences to the theater. In this movie,there is not at all comic moments or fight sequences that entertain you as shown in trailers.1st half is quite well compare to 2nd half.There are some comedy scenes that director make but fail to entertain.2nd half is boring. Music of the movie is not so good but the title song makes audience groove. Direction is good but not as good as Dabangg.Abhinav has shows Ranbir flirty boy and action hero.He has tries to make climax scene as power pack as Dabangg starting but he failed to make it that good. Ranbir is as always superb .Pallavi Sharda has done quite a good job.Neetu Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor are so good and their comic timings are impressive.Javed Jaffrey is good as villain. Overall,you can ignore this movie happily.Not even a one time watch.

watched BESHARAM ..I am not quite sure that its makers are filthy rich..well even if they are they can't be very rich after this flick..cause its awful...its like they just wake up one day & said ""hey guys lets make a movie today..& while we'r at it lets make it with the best cast in the industry(today)..& songs put sh!tload of songs in it..story?? f**k story..just make a movie"" this kinda attitude of makers slaps you in the face while watching it...I'm not fan of retard n double meaning Comedy/ies but this is way worse than those(least they do their best)..BUT they these people wasted their extremely talented cast with their sh!t plot n script(still cast did what they could_I gave it 2* just cause of them) AND more importantly 2+hours of your life...it has nothing, nothing to watch

I say _DO NOT WATCH_ no matter what happens

'Besharam', again an awful and hackneyed movie has joined the list of masala movies. It is really hard to understand the structure of such kind of cinema which does not serve any purpose for the reason that it spoils the image of evolving Indian Cinema. A lot of money and talent are being wasted in such ventures and consequence is futile-in this era, such kind of cinema is running parallel with imaginative and quality cinema which should be stopped in order to create some peculiar and though-provoking films.

Abhinav Kashyap tries to reinvent the charisma of "Dabangg"- it had Salman with some good elements in contrast he now presents "Besharam" with a wafer thin plot, clichés, songs in almost every frame, Ranbir's butt cleavage, warehouse climax etc. It basically relies on Kapoor's but fails to get anywhere near to an entertainment due to an absurd screenplay and plot. Abhinav has great actors but it is impossible to act without a script.

BESHARAM is Ranbir's debut with masala film, which is a fiasco. I wonder what made him work on 'Besharam', maybe because lately every A-list actor is working on these kinds of films.

'Besharam' is set in 'Delhi', like most of the movies. Babli (Ranbir Kapoor) raised in an orphanage, is a street smart car mechanic who steals cars and gives all the money to his orphanage. He falls in love with Tara (Pallavi Sharda) but inadvertently steals her car. Now Babli decides to get her car back from Chandel (Javed Jaferry), a criminal.

A lot of things happen in the zig-zag screenplay but nothing is consistent. You might be amused in some moments but those are forced and do not go well with the narration. It contains some crude and toilet humor with awkward body languages which looks over the top and unnecessary. Jaaved Jaffrey's first villainous act leaves an impression but in second half he has been portrayed as a caricature still he managed the expressions right.

The love story is of completely off track with indigestible change of heart is involved in it. The lead pair looks indifferent with Pallavi Sharda's stiff expressions and mannerisms; she looks distant and dances violently. On the other hand Rishi-Neetu chemistry looks better than Ranbir-Pallavi.

Like "Dabangg", Besharm also tries to create the room for some gravity-defying action sequence in mostly in the ware house but does not offer anything new. Rishi Kapoor suddenly becoming Sunny Deol looks atrocious as he pulls out the freaking hand pump is atrocious and awkward.

You do have to brace yourself for forced songs in every 15 minutes, it annoys you more and leaves no stone unturned to ruins whatsoever remains. You will forget the songs as soon as it finishes and movie goes to the next frame.

Ranbir Kapoor took the affliction on his shoulders to maintain the graph of the character which he does brilliantly nonetheless. Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor do the usual stuff effortlessly. Jaaved Jaaferi is really good and leaves a mark for his upcoming films.

All the efforts go in vain because nothing is memorable due to the weak script and narrative. In a nut shell, you will only like it if you have lost faith that there are some good movies.

Ranbir Kapoor has already proved himself as a great actor with a lot of commercial success in his pocket.I think this was like a experimental movie where he wants to know the verdict of people.And the situation is that with such a bad story,screenplay,not so strong direction and average music ....will people accept him when he'll overact all over the movie.Pallavi Sharda is decent with the amount of work given.This movie will be a lesson for Ranbir that never overact in a dirty and vulgar manner.People are not fool.Keep the Khaans aside Bi*ch .....they have eaten numerous new comers of the industry in past 25 years.You may also get evicted the way you have turned on the track .....SO PLAY SAFE !Daddys ain't no GOD !

Ranbir Kapoor seems to have comfortably established himself as the next biggest superstar after the sun sets down on the Khans who are nearing their fifties. A natural actor that he is, most of his movies have been well received; even in those that didn't make money, his acting was appreciated. He is the man of the moment, he is a big superstar of bollywood. Great to see him in a masala movie like BESHARAM, i like this movie, Ranbir's superb acting make the movie large and will break many box office records, we audience love its action comedy, full of fan with besharami. I give 4 stars to this movie. Story line is OK but screenplay is very convenient and routine Just watching him on screen gives some divine feelings. Neetu Kapoor is good. Ranbir Kapoor is fine. Pallavi Sharda as Tara has nothing to do much and her performance drags it more. Javed Jaffery is also good in his role.

Just came back after watching Besharam.Honestly i didn't expect much from the movie.Because the trailer wasn't that convincing.It looked like another stereotypical comedy bollywood has usually produced.

The only reason i went was to watch Ranbir Kapoor. And believe me he didn't disappoint.

The first half is a full on entertainer.Not a single boring moment. Ranbir's comic timing is superb.His innocence and charm captures the moment.His sidekick did a good job too.

Rishi kapoor also did a really good job.Neetu kapoor supported well. Pallavi has talent but she wasn't explored.She has potential.

Overall the movie was okay.A one time family entertainer,except for few vulgar jokes.Good performances,average story,average songs and direction. A onetime paisa vasool watch.I'd recommend u to watch once. And if u would like to watch it again or not its up to u. I'd have given it 6 or 6.5 star but for Ranbir its *******/10.

Besharam is one of the worst films I've seen in a long time. This movie is bad from the word 'Go' and I was wondering why did the father-mother-son duo of Rishi,Neetu and Ranbir ever signed this film.

There is no story and it seems that Abhinav Kashyap who had made the entertaining Dabangg a few years back wanted to hit back on the Salman Khan camp for not letting him direct Dabangg 2. Alas, Salman had the last laugh because Besharam is terrible film and I wished many a times that Abhinav be punished firstly for co-writing this nonsense and then directing it.

He wastes the talents of the Kapoor family, includes toilet humour and Ranbir's naked body shots, also wastes the talent of Javed Jaffery (who also looks bored), introduces one actress called Pallavi Sharda who has no screen presence, can't dance for nuts and worse, can't act too.

Ranbir puts up one bad show from the word go. Besharam in English means shameless. But Ranbir's character is more of a cheepo than shameless.

Disappointing show.
