The authenticity of Punjabi cult and the love for the community can be well figured in the Chopra family who are making films after films revolving around the same subject within a limited budget featuring their own introductions Ranvir Singh and Anushka Sharma who are probably bound by some kind of contract binding them with Yash Raj films! This 2 hr 20 minutes film is all about a conman in Ranbir singh as Ricky Bahl who makes his living by" Ladki patana" and reaching out to their parents, impress and run away with their money! Yash Raj films, this time, have introduced 3 more new faces in Parineeti chopra, Dipannita Sharma and Aditi Sharma who have justified their roles well through their acting. Being a natural Punjabi who is handsome and outgoing, Ricky makes both Parineeti and Aditi fall in blind love! The dialogues spoken by the characters are so natural and speaks for the nativity that is characterised so well. However, it is not understood as to how the respective fathers who are also business men in their own calibre, part with huge sums of money to a stranger boy friend of their daughter?
The method used for vacating the house by sheer muscle power is a fact which is pictured well. As an youngster brought up in Delhi, I am a witness to this kind of forced eviction where cots and fridge are thrown from the 3rd floor of the house on to the ground where it breaks into pieces right in front of the owner or the tenant who is forced to vacate in a most inhuman way!
The conman selling a painting of M F Hussain to a corporate is not justified and does not appeal! The point that comes out prominently in this episode is that Con men exist only because of illegal cash dealings and the tax authorities have been provided with a clue like this for them to follow the thread!
The three duped women engage Anushka in the second half to check mate the conman and retrieve their lost money and in the process looses even the part of the retrieved money to Ranvir Singh- the conman!
Somewhere during this mind game of cheating and over powering, the hero kisses Anushka Sharma and the sparks fly all over in such a manner that the conman is reformed and gives back all the money that he had cheated, for the sake of his lady love! All ends well and the girls get back their money and Ranvir and Anushka are united. The movie weighs Love against all odds and makes it superior for all times to come!
Ranvir Singh as a Punjabi lad is impressive with his slang and the way of talking like a typical Punjabi and so is Anushka except for a tinge of over acting! Her Bikini dress and the swimming pool plot is bound to enthuse youngsters to go for the film at least once? The other 3 characters are equally impressive with their acting talents. Yash Raj films should be congratulated for introducing new new faces for the Indian cinema and its audience to digest and it is a good trend! Manish Sharma, the director of this film has done his best to tell the story without leaving any foot-prints to talk about or follow?
The music by Salim-Sulaiman is average and carries no appeal? The Goa shoot spot is captivating as the place itself is photogenic in its own way? What Next from Yash Raj films featuring these two is the question that stands in the front of your mind?
