i have now sadly concluded that Aditya Chopra comes up with some implausible stuff, under the garb of romanticism, and hopelessly trying to give some new dimension to the same age-old concept of love. Well, actually nothing wrong in trying to explore some different angles of love, but it ends up in a rather shallow, and impractical attempt, no matter even if you spend lavishly on foreign ,exotic locations, beautiful sets, and three pretty girls to flirt only one lucky hero; Because, the home work on the psycho dynamics of the hero's tendency to fall out the relationships is totally missing !And ,on top of it, following it up ,years later, to chase those otherwise seemingly happily settled women, except one,of course, kept reserved for the hero, conveniently, appears entirely illogical, and does not explain psychologically,as to why this change of heart and attitude has taken place ?Now let's look at the cast, starting from Ranbir. He has done a good job to give an entertaining performance, with his dance moves, his dresses, and striking a balance in romantic and humorous deliveries of his scenes; i liked him especially when he goes to Radhika in Italy ,and she makes him work like an ordinary waiter, that's a redeeming part of the movie. Lamba and Deepika are o.k., but Bipasha is totally miscast. How can they pair her with Ranbir ? Her extra oomph in all those revealing dresses also seems overboard ! She is fit to be paired with the likes of macho men like Abraham and Akshay, but oh no, not with the likes of Ranbir,or Imran. All the supporting cast is o.k. in their respective roles. Paintal is noteworthy.This movie would have been much better with a convincing and fresh plot line, script writing, and proper editing. Though,editor seems to have had a tough job, while dealing with three heroines ,and their respective lives to handle ! Where can the poor fellow cut short,possibly ? If not for those lovely outdoor locations, the pop corn also would be insufficient in keeping the viewer to refrain from getting absolutely anxious as to the happy or whatever end of the movie, since it simply goes on and on !Seems like Aditya has a lot of money to squander on those foreign locations ! So he comes up with such hopeless stuff! The viewer has no satisfaction of seeing either a pure entertainer,or a family drama !A friendly advice to yash raj films and Aditya Chopra.. next time you think of producing a movie, at least hire some professional help, to guide you guys into the depths of human psychology, and societal angles, before you venture into such topsyturvy romantic flicks !

Okay, i went to see this film a week after its release. But before i went to see this film, i heard from friends that this film was not good and it was not worth watching!Well they are wrong, the film for me was good!There were some very funny moments in the film. Ranbir Kapoor was very good! Looking very handsome in costumes.Deepika Padukone was good! I think that she could have done a much better job in playing her character. The other two were very good too.The film's songs were out-of-the-world.Overall, this film is worth watching.

Bachna ae haseeno is one of those films i have seen after days of waiting. And it turned out to be a good entertainer. It is better than Siddharth Raj Anand's previous two films Salaam Namaste and Ta Ra rum pum.Raj (Ranbir Kapoor) meets three different girls in his life and actually falls for only one of them. Radhika (Bipasha Basu), Mahi (Minisha Lamba) and Gayathri (Deepika Padukone) were those either lucky or unlucky girls.Bollywood films may it be action or horror or thriller will have a love story in them. This film concentrates more in the love story and it is different from the others too. The cinematography is good, script is good and the songs are excellent. Vishal and Shekhar did marvellously in music direction. They are the kind of songs that you would like to hear again and again. Khuda Jane is a haunting melody and songs like Luky boy, aahista and small town girl are exemplary.Ranbir Kapoor acted well in this film as a 'lucky boy'. I am happy to see Deepika Padukone again after om shanti om. Bipasha Basu was good. Minisha Lamba wasn't as charming as the other two but hers is the best character in the film. Songs were shot well. Small town girl is quiet funny to watch. Khuda Jane was taken in a beautiful place. Watch it especially for the songs and the places where the movie was shot (Australia, Switzerland etc..)7/10

The word surprise has several meanings... may be this is one of them .I hate most films from the Yash Raj Genre for their cheesy sense of humor & tasteless acting & screenplay. But somehow went on to see this movie.Initially this was only as sick as any other boy-meet-girl movie but then somehow this movie gained some meaning. And even though you had to tolerate Ranbir Kapoor's Demented facial expressions, the movie wasn't that bad after all.It had some good acting by the damsels & the plot grew to become more mature & involving. Over all in the end, you'd feel satisfied by the entire turn of events My advice - survive the first half hour!!! Somehow..
