jaideepsachdev Baar Baar Dekho has a really interesting storyline, absolutely new concept for Hindi movies. Wish there were more movies like this. Good work by the writer, director and the actors. Keep it up :-)
Rajesh Sharma For the first 15 minutes it seem regular Bollywood movie but then it changes in a way that touched my heart. Despite of copying the idea from Hollywood movie, "Baar Baar Dekho" is really a well recommended movie which shares a very strong message and Truth that almost everyone wants to find in real life.I don't follow Sidharth & Katrina but I must mention that both have done good job. Songs of this movie is also awesome especially "Dariya", "Kho Gaye Hum Kahaan" & "Kaala Chashma".I will totally recommend this movie to everyone who aims high and will do anything to achieve their goals. They should not miss out small yet important things of life.
choprasunistha I really do love this film! It's refreshing and an emotional love story that takes you on a Roller-coaster Ride wife life shown very clearly. I agree that it has it's flaws - the first half an hour is a total bore. Jai and the wedding preparations got me mad. Why can Jai not go to Cambridge!? Okay why is Jai being rude to the pandit? There are many more complaints about the first half an hour. The film could have been better executed and some things could have been better explained but Nitya Mehra is a debutante so I'll leave that aside. However, after the 'break up' between Jai and Diya, a day before their wedding, the film starts amazing you with unexpected surprises. The only thing that disappoints me is, not with the film, but more the fact that India is still so far behind. 5We say that we have modernized but if we have then why is this film apparently a "huge disappointment"? The reason for this is that 'Baar Baar Dekho' is not a masala entertainer like most people want Bollwoodd films to be. Instead Baar Baar Dekho teaches a very important life lesson - live in the moment and never let the people you love down and also never fight with them because you never know when they'll leave you. India expects to see a basic Bollywood film not something immune to India - Time Travel.Let me recall, wasn't the Back To The Future series a huge hit everywhere? 3 Idiots was a huge huge Blockbuster (one of my fave films EVERRR!) Then why do we not appreciate an amazing attempt at changing the Bollywood industry? I suspect that it's because of the deep message, scenes and the sci-fi elements from the movie. I can personally relate to this film in a certain way which may be the reason why I thought it was so good but I also thought that Siddarth's performance was AMAZING! After 'Ek Villain' and 'Kapoor and Sons', I thought that I would no get to see a great film of Sid's again; boy was I wrong. Every expression in the time traveling scenes is spot on - whether it's bewilderment or excitement, Sadness or Romance, he is SPOT ON. He made me cry twice...TWICE, and let me tell you I love the song 'Yeri Khair Mangdi' but boy it made me cry a river. I am not one to cry during films, though I did cry in certain films like 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan', 'Sultan' and 'Ek Villain', thus makes it clear that it must have something touching and great in it... and it does! It makes think about life and be happy in the moment!!! Not many bwood films can do that.Coming to Katrina, I personally thought she did a great job and SHE CAN ACT for anyone who says she can't. Those scenes where she is crying during their fights, u can see that she is acting. Yes, she is not the best but she works very hard which is something I admire about her. Sarika's performance in the film was Great and the actress who plays Chitra (I'm sorry, I don't know her name) has talent. Other than that none of the other main characters stood out to me. My favorite part of the film was when Jai is sent back from 2043 (I think?) to 2023 to sort his life out and the way he does that brings a smile to our faces. The way he aches for Diya and is willing to do anything to make sure she does not leave him in the coming future, is really really sweet. He is desperate to keep his childhood sweetheart his wife (I love childhood to adult love stories!). Every song in the film is AWESOME. Kala Chashma obvio tops the list and Sau Aasmaan is a close second.I would recommend anyone who has gone through hardships in life or is a youngster like me to watch this film!That's it, thanks for reading!
parveenchandra11 BBD has a few basic elements, which are really rather good:1) Basic idea is this: "While waiting for the big moments of happiness in life, we miss out on these small moments of happiness" (From Bawarchi, 1972).2) Time travel/ Groundhog day: Hero goes to sleep and wakes up at consecutively increasingly further out time points in the future (10 days, 2 years, 15/16 years in 2034). At the third one (2034) he realizes he's messed up big, and promises to fix things. Goes to sleep crying, and this time wakes up 10 years before (2023) and manages to make the wrong choices. Next leap takes him 26 years in the future, at the death of his mother. This is the furthest out in time, and he realizes his priorities should be different. Goes to sleep, and wakes up at the only repeat time point (year 2023) - chooses to put his family first, and then comes back to 2016 (the present).The premise was rather good. I liked the elements underlying the story. The execution was... not so great.Some points that stuck out for me:1) The hero is rather taken aback when his girlfriend proposes marriage, and doesn't come back with an enthusiastic enough "yes". It's a scene where we're supposed to empathise with the heroine and pity the hero. He really should've leapt at the chance of marrying KK. why? Everyone has a right to make their own decisions in life, no? If he wants to think about it, let him. 2) All the wedding preparations frustrate the groom (hero) - how selfish and disrespectful of him! (It's rather normal; why paint the poor boy in a bad light because of these small issues!)And what's wrong with wanting to go abroad for job/education? Our movies would have you believe that you shouldn't venture out because our family and friends are here... Well, a lot many people actually do come back. Nothing wrong with seeing the world a little.3) In the year 2023, when KK's character reminds her husband that there's a show in the evening, she says something to the tune of how "will you remember?" and "you're useless". Their two small children are running around! And she's supposed to be a good mother? It's the worst kind of parents that paint their spouse in a bad light in front of the kids.Btw, just fyi, men without full time jobs are 33% more likely to divorce: aka to remain married, the guy needs to be working -- according to a recently published paper (Killewald, ASR 2016); also quoted in TIME magazine (http://time.com/4425061/unemployment-divorce-men-women/)4) Somebody has a vendetta against maths/logic and mathematicians, and doesn't even know what maths is (more on the second half later). The pandit (Rajit Kapur) says logic doesn't explain what's important in life. Which our poor hero doesn't understand because all he understands is maths! Understanding of maths and relationships/values are not mutually exclusive! 5) Classroom scene in one of the time leaps: a student says that you said you have a solution to Fermat's last theorem, how does this affect bla bla bla. Guess what Fermat's last theorem was "proven" 20 years ago, first valid proof presented in 1994 (only about 350 years after the conjecture was stated). A 5 min googling could've take care of this jarring moment.6) The H is supposedly a math genius. And the script writers have no clue what that entails.Being able to find square roots, products of large numbers, is not the same as being able to prove and postulate mathematical theorems and lemmas. Hero is either a student or professor of mathematics, and apparently he's written a paper on Vedic maths. His appointment to Cambridge is based on that. Quick note on VM: it is a collection of tricks to do mental arithmetic, not what maths is really about. Please look up Quora for an involved discussion on the topic. A quote from S.G. Dani (http://www.tifr.res.in/~vahia/dani- vmsm.pdf): "lack of adequate attention to academic pursuits... has unfortunately resulted, on the one hand, in a lack of awareness of our historical role in actual terms and, on the other, an empty sense of pride which is more of an emotional reaction to the colonial domination rather than an intellectual challenge. Together they provide a convenient ground for extremist and misguided elements in society to "reconstruct history" from nonexistent or concocted source material to whip up popular euphoria."And I'm not even a mathematician :|7) My guess is that this was someone's understanding of Good Will Hunting's ending - that he leaves "maths" to be with the girl... Look at the interview scene (with NSA), it doesn't preclude Will Hunting's working on maths, just not with those guys. And yes, we need to have both in our lives - work and relationships. There should be a balance between the two. 8) One more teensy weensy thing... the futuristic technology... uh... there are driver less, self-driving cars already around on roads (Uber has launched driverless cars in Pittsburg, PA, USA). Various corporations have been testing those for quite some time. It would've been fantastic if could've incorporated that in their futuristic settings. But maybe that really is too much to expect...Final verdict: Well, this is definitely a movie you can see with your family or friends without blushing! If you're at the mall, and need to go watch something, this ain't a bad choice. Or, skip the movie tickets, go eat out :)
