PunjabiLadkaUK A film of 2 halves! First half, really filmy, romantic, boy meets 3 different girls at different stages in his life etc.....The build ups to these relationships, 1 is a DDL style meet, the other more modern mumbai and the third a typical boy meets girls, girl not overly interested in boy style.Second half is where it all gets really interesting and well worth watching the build up for! Definitely on my Recommended list.As ranbir goes back to his past relationships and trys to re-build broken hearts that have changed these girls lives completely there is plently of jokes along the way!A great performance by Ranbir... Bipasha also did an amazing job! But not overly keen on Deepikas performance but definitely a film to watch!A purely touching film.

mahereen-maherali I was so impressed with this movie, all actors/actresses did a phenomenal job and I truly enjoyed every minute of the film! The music hands down was great as well, check out the tracks Khuda Jaane, Aahista, and Jogi Mahi for sure! Great writing, scripting, and definitely acting. As newcomers Ranbir and Deepika are contagious, their on screen chemistry (of course) was hot! The evolution of all the actors/actresses is identifiable and they did a great job adapting to their roles before and after. The storyline was believable (shock to bollywood films sometimes) and kept me engaged throughout. Overall a great film, another success for Yash Raj! A definite must-see!

kooleshwar While the invincibility of Yashraj may have been a myth since day one (they've delivered flops and big ones all their lives remember Lamhe), what they did regularly deliver were iconic films (subhash ghai had the lead as far as hits were concerned).His formula is and will remain forever simple.1)UNREQUITED LOVE.Each and every one of his biggest hits have had this, and it mostly involved the protagonists.2)FIGHTING FOR LOVE.Once again mostly involved the protagonists. But never with a villain, always with the circumstances.3)LOVE LOST AND FOUND.Need i say more.4)Exotic Foreign Locals. Normal characters played by larger than life personas.A potent formula that has succeeded more often than not.Yet every movie retained its individuality.Building a new compound based on the formulas is OK, BUT WHEN YOU MIX THE READY-MADE COMPOUNDS IS WHEN THE WEAKNESSES CREEP IN.The movies story is inspired from at least 2 Hollywood films/serials (one of which i have seen but i don't remember).Then we have parts of the movie straight out of DDLJ...Actually I've driven the point home, this movies un-originality is clearly its greatest weakness, AND ITS GREATEST STRENGTH.Because we love the Yashraj Formula don't we.Ranbir Kapoor can act better than most débutant's but clearly he has very far to go, the upside is that i cant see much of him in his roles, and maybe he will become a finer actor much sooner than say Sharukh who has played himself most of his life.Minisha Lamba s@#ks plain and simple, no glamour, looks permanently forty, and clearly the most irritating character.Deepika looks mostly unfeminine but once again its surprising that she can act, however its mainly her expressive face that saves her, otherwise her acting is weak.WHICH BRINGS US TO BIPASHA.She clearly steals the show here, and i say this despite knowing this movie is clearly about Ranbir, despite being mismatched SHE LOOKS STUNNING, actually gives the best performance of her life (still has a long way to though especially in the emotional scenes), the hot pants scene and the tie me up scene gave me palpitations.Technically this film is superb as it should be, HOWEVER EXOTIC FOREIGN LOCALES Don't HOLD THE SWAY THEY USED TO, AND THE OVERUSE FOR THE SAKE OF COMMERCIAL GAIN WAS CLEARLY IRRITATING.Lets not mention the ugly Xbox placements.The songs and its placement were quite weak, we have only 2 really good songs of which one is a remix played in the credits. I STILL Don't UNDERSTAND WHY THE ENTIRE SONG HAS TO BE PLAYED IN A MOVIE, A SONG AND ITS VIDEO IS PROFITABLE AS IT IS, EVEN IF IT Isn't PLAYED FULLY IN A MOVIE (sanjay gupta has proved it to us).Most of the stories feel pretty half baked and AS A DRAMA HATER IM TELLING YOU THERE WAS CLEAR LACK OF EMOTIONS IN THIS MOVIE,you sit through the entire movie and you barely feel any emotion.The only time i felt a bit stirred is when he reflects on his life, and i was happy to see thats nothing there that cant be rectified or that will leave a scar.The humour is also mostly good, with most of the jokes succeeding, Hiten Paintal does an excellent job, mainly as the comic relief.In all we have a formula flick, whose greatest strength is also its greatest weakness.-s the formula, DDLJ hangover, ugly product placement and location selling, Minisha, LACK OF EMOTIONS.+/-s The formula, Deepika, Isn't less drama/emotion normally good (i think they call it breazy movie).+s The formula, Bipasha, Ranbir, good humour.Total 7/10 (actually outdid my expectations (I've seen Tashan), and I've factored that in, almost no one has really-REALLY liked the movie, most share my views, SO ITS BEST YOU GO WITH MODERATE Expectations OTHERWISE DISAPPOINTMENT IS ON THE CARDS).

Pratik Jasani This movie has definitely been inspired by the classic hit movie, "Teen Devian," which starred the ever green Dev Anand, Simi Garewall, Nanda, Kalpana and the late I.S. Johar and I mention "inspired" and not copied as there are some differences. The title is of this movie was also a song from the 1977 hit movie, "Hum Kisise Kum Naheen," which starred Rishi Kapoor, Kaajal Kiran, the late Amjad Khan and Tariq.17 year old Raj Sharma is in Switzerland with his friends when he spots some girls, one of who, he later finds out is Mahi, who has come with her parents and just like in "Dil Walleh Dulhaniya Lejayenge," she is in search of a perfect Raj. Unfortunately she misses her train back to the Swiss city of Zurich and Raj decides to help her in the hope that he can date her. Turn the clocks forward and Raj is in Bombay where his next door neighbour, Radhika, a glamour girl with who he begins dating only and then turn the clocks forward a bit more and Raj is in Australia, working for Microsoft. Here he meets a girl who is just like him, Gayatri, who is also an NRI.Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Bipasha Basu and Minisha Lambha and is directed by Siddharth Anand (of "Salaam Namastey.") This is a typical Yash Raj film when it comes to location as it has snow and mountains and the director has previously used Australia in his previous movie. And then there are certain scenes which will make the audience remember Ranbir Kapoor's father, Rishi Kapoor, in "Bobby." Ranbir has moved on from "Sawaariya" and has proved that he can do other types of roles as he has done in this. Deepika, unfortunately, is still in the same frame as she was in the second half of "Om Shanti Om" and this is where perhaps the director could used the real life couple to portray the romantic scenes in the most effective manner. And Bipasha Basu looks stunning as ever and her performance was believable as a girl who is in love.The audience is constantly reminded of the song by the late Kishore Kumar, "Bachna Ae Haseeno" from the movie that I have already mentioned from 1977 (a remixed version) at the same time they are also reminded of one of the biggest hits of the 1990's "Dil Walleh Dulhaniya Lejayenge" in the form of it s title music whenever scenes of Switzerland are shown. Having visited Switzerland myself and also the Alps, I can say that a lot of the scenery was just superb and especially of the Swiss towns in the Alps.Conclusion: One of the better movies from Yash Raj and indeed from Bollywood and at least the audience doesn't have to leave their thinking "grey" cells at home and intact.
