Though I had seen the movie almost 2-3 weeks back, but didn't find
time to update it. Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl is quite an entertaining movie,
especially in the first half but loses its steam when the director HAS
TO introduce a Love Story in a typical Bollywood fashion. The
performances though not award winning are pretty decent from all the
cast members. Music definitely is a plus point. Screen play is pretty
interesting in the first half and drags in the second. Dialogues are
pretty corny. Parineeti Chopra brings a freshness to the overall feel of
the film. Overall, a sweet li'l Watchable movie though nothing fabulous
to write home about. Recommended.
Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl
suffers from the problem so typical of bollywood. We just can't tell
stories as they are. We have to have to introduce a corny love story
somewhere in the end and have that all's well happy ending. The movie is
about a conman who specializes in robbing women after making them fall
in love with his drop dead good looks (Yes, its Ranveer Singh we are
talking about here) and charm. 3 of his shikaars come together and hire
Anushka Sharma to con him this time to get their money back. Pretty
Interesting till this point right? Yes, but now add the usual twist to
the story. The girl supposed to con him falls in love with him and he
also is passionately in love with her. So much so that he's ready to
leave all his galad dhandhaas coz of this. Why this sudden change?
Nobody knows. Oh yeah, may be coz they made out one time.
On
the performance front, Parineeti Chopra was my pick of the lot (And
that has nothing to do with her looking scaringly close to one of my ex
girlfriends :P ). Though not the best looking of the lot but She
definitely was the freshest and cutest.. Her comic timing too was almost
perfect and the boring scenes came to life with her typical punjabi
kudi performance. Others were just about okay even Ranveer Singh. So no
problems there.
Music was pretty hummable and full marks
to Salim Suleiman yet again to keep the audience's interest alive when
the movie was dragging. There are certain nice twists and turns in the
script especially in the first half and the con jobs have been written
quite well. So full marks there too.And As already established, the
movie suffers from being too bollywood-y in the second half. Lead couple
ending up making out after a song and THEN hopelessly falling in love
was definitely where the script would have allowed in a good movie but
yeah, Yeh sab to karna hi padega na.
Overall: A Pretty
Decent Movie though drags in the second half due to too much of
bollywood-y treatment. Recommended for a One time watch
Feel-O-Meter: 6/10
