I didn’t read any reviews, just walked in into the theatre. Likewise, SWACC also did, we did not want any reviews to spoil our anticipation of some pure unadulterated fun in the movie. Yes, slapstick is back, yippee. But it’s new, it’s different its slapstick with class, panache and spoofs across most movies of popular genre over the last year or two. Just that you need to pay little attention to recognize it. Now who said, slapstick doesn’t test your intelligence or stimulate your intellectual quotient.
Okie having said all that, the kahani is an absolute no brainer. Who cares?. Till date, I never ever understood the story in a single Charlie Chaplin movie, but never remember not enjoying one. The laughs start with the first shot; refuse to die down until the interval. There is a lull in between, where the poor director has realized he needs to build a story to make any sense at all. After that we are back again, laugh till the credits are drawn down.
Honestly, the last time I enjoyed a comedy movie so much was Dhamaal a couple of years ago. But since then, just Singh is King was decent, not great though. But this one really cool. Its sweet, unadulterated humor about the romance between a dumb guy and intelligent woman.
Ranbir Kapoor is a big star in the making. I just can’t resist this. Don’t you think, he very closely resembles the Acadcom secy of our IIMI 2007 batch in more ways than one :). Well, subh should be able to better answer that one :). Well! Ranbir can definitely play the sweet, laidback, innocent guy better than anyone else in the industry now.
Katrina Kaif can act!. Okie that might be like asking for a little too much. But the lady can definitely make funny faces at least. That’s more than what the movie could ask from her. Of course, she has the mandatory item number for front bencher titillation :). Hello! Why blame the front benchers always, when the back seat elite are equally savoring the jhatkas and matkas.
If you’re like me, just want to have a good time, without expecting a good story or its historical background or thrill of a whodunit, then just go and check out this movie :).
Cheers
