This movie is strictly a pastime for it has the typical Yashraj elements-glamour, song and dance, appealing visuals, etc. Where it loses big time is in the script. The pull offs by Ranveer's character are very unimpressive and far fetched like never before. Since the movie moves sequentially, I'll try to do the same.For Parineeti, I don't get all the hype. She is no different from a typical brainless Yashraj heroine, bubbly and bimbo albeit Preity Zinta. And no, I did not find her expressionless acting to be 'cute'. For her story and character, it is as shallow as the performance, and there is nothing interesting enough here to comment.I am impressed by Dipannita Sharma, a model who can act. She gives the character exactly what it demands. But unfortunately the character is poorly written, and this one story is the most unbelievable of the three. Fooling a self made business minded woman cannot be cakewalk.Aditi Sharma is cute and also a performer. Her character's story is boring to say the least but it is her performance that makes it endearing.Last here is Anushka, who looks exotic and gives a very earnest performance. Undoubtedly, she has the central role here. I can give one star each to this movie only for these three brilliant ladies. Unfortunately, her's is another poorly scripted character with nothing beyond the ms. goodie-two-shoes.As for Ranveer, I would give a big thumbs down for his monotonous and uninvolved performance. He has great scope here to be a real charmer, but that never comes across.The music is average, but poorly fitted in with songs coming out of the blue and seeming absolutely unnecessary. The background score is offensive and irritating. The predictability of the story will make you yawn.I watched Dumb Laga Ke Haisha before this, and I can say Yashraj has truly evolved. Please don't regress to this level again.

This film appears to be a light Bollywood comedy, and this was exactly what it is. Some aspects of it however are aimed squarely at 'New Hindustan' and I'm sure the film will be gobbled up most welcomely however distastefully these aspects have been presented. The synopsis can be summed up in 1 line (See Summary Title!). OK 2 lines, Plus Taani Sahni and her booty shots. OK 3 lines, 3 loser women exploit a pretty 4th woman in order to con a rather camp stud muffin.Some things that this movie does well: Great dance choreography at the nightclub when Dicky Stud and Taani Sahni 'party all nite'er... Entertainer... I laughed when Iqbal makes his appearanceSome things this movie does not do well: Mock western uncivilisation a la Ron BurgandyHave likable charactersOverall - A film for the devourment by the beautiful people of Desiland

Band Bajaa Baarat being a good movie gave everyone high expectations. Ladies vs Rickey Bahl is a nice simple and sweet movie. Every one will surely enjoy it if watch it with less expectations. Parineeta Chopra was really good at her role. Ranvir Singh was also good at his part.The movie starts well with a song. It then shows Ranvir Singh conning the girls. The conning style is original. All the actors play their part well. The songs are average. The movie is entertaining throughout. The second half is also interesting. The movie has a good start an a good end. The movie is good but not as good as their previous movie. So if you are going for it go with less expectations.

Again a Yash Raj movie,again a Maneesh Sharma film,again Anushka-Ranveer pairing that worked wonders in Band Baaja Baraat,but on the contrary Ladies vs Ricky Bahl never has that element of magic that BBB had.Of course u can blame Anushka coming to the fore in the second half,but the movie actually subsides in the second half itself not only because of some boring sequences but the predictability the movie creates as we rush through second half.First half is fun-filled specially because of the presence of Parineeti Chopra (Priyanka's cousin) and it never ever seems its her first movie.Ranveer as always is impressive not only in conning girls but flaunting his body with those 8 pack abs.Dipannita and Aditi have done commendable jobs.Anushka(especially in the black bikini)looks hot.Songs are OK.Overall the movie could have been better in the second half.Go for it only if you are an ardent fan of Ranveer.I go with 6/10
