Reviews
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Namra Syed Hussain Bewakoofiyaan- 2014 Director: Nupur AsthanaRomance in times of recession' can be a buzz kill. When currency crash leads to heartbreaks and house-breaks. And the youth are left with bankrupt dreams. The same happened with Mohit was actually searching a job but was only interested in working Airline Company due to which he had to suffer along with his personal life. Overall, Rishi Kapoor acted well, Sonam was Good and Aaayushman was also fine in the movie. The song were not so good. It was a low budget movie and with a very random story.The outfits worn by Sonam Kapoor in the movie were Very nice but once again Yash Raj Films wasted the money.
Rahul Thankachan 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.
Achyuta Ghosh 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
Raktim Das 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!
