I saw this movie 3 years after its release. Why? Because other than a good song "Jeene laga hoon" nothing else interested me at that time. The story is more or less a "Maine Pyar Kiya" revisit with some other twists. Nothing personal but I do have some allergy towards Prabhu Deva directed movies. By the way, what's with the cameo dance step in every movie, dude? With that said, I think the gentleman is ONLY a terrific dancer. Like all his other movies (R...Rajkumar, Rowdy Rathore, Wanted, etc.) there is an over-the-top exaggeration in stunts and tickle-me-funny humor. Oh and of course, garish outfits matched with goofy dance steps. Girish Kumar's debut was quite disappointing, this being his "own" film. He showed all the trending ingredients of a Bollywood hero (boyish charm, well built muscles) but his character portrayal was a total let down. Shruti Hassan did OK with the supporting cast. I was surprised by the roles played by Poonam Dhillon, Randhir Kapoor, Nassar - such roles really don't suit actors of their caliber and age.

This is the first ever movie to have my ratings. And that was 10 out of 10 stars. May be because of the chemistry between the lead actors in the film. I started loving this film even before its release because of its super hit trailer, as well as the mind blowing song J L H and too because my favourite actress was playing lead. No matter the film is the remake of remakes. And the debutant actor played the perfect lead and was looking too handsome because of his curly hairstyle. But now he did the rubbish thing changing his R V hairstyle. Don't know why? And actress was looking gorgeous as ever. The lead actress had all time beautiful looks, no matter if behind the scenes or in the movie. Somebody had said that the romance was eternal and wasn't original too! But yet still i can say that the movie is must watch, and softly recommended too!!

Read complete review : http://theblahqueen.com/movie-review-ramaiya-vastavaiya/Well to tell you the truth, my first reaction on seeing the promo of this film some time back was "Who is this guy with a horrendous hair do?" Yes I am talking about Girish Kumar ( apologies to all his fans !!). So I was pretty sure no one could convince me to watch this movie but unfortunately someone did and hence this review. To give you a premises Ramaiya Vastavaiya is directed by Prabhu Deva and is a remake of his very own south Indian hit which itself was inspired by 'Maine Pyar Kiya'. Now you know where are we going with thisRead story at http://theblahqueen.com/movie-review-ramaiya-vastavaiya/PerformancesWell Girish Kumar is the producer's (Kumar Taurani) son, well thats his only qualification for landing this role. His hair is really annoying seriously. He tries to look mature by keeping a stuble but fails miserably. Moreover he acts like a chimp
jumping every now and then, maybe he was trying to make the character more lively and chirpy. Shruti Hassan is good to look at but same cannot be said about her acting.She seems blank and delivers her dialogues at the same pace and with the same emotion no matter what the scene is. Sonu Sood is the only saving grace of the movie, at least he acts well and portrays his character well. As for the director Prabhu Deva, he hasn't even tried to make the film look fresh, its not even old wine in a new bottle.The cinematography and the music are few positives of the movie.The songs are already quite popular.VerdictWell I would say you better avoid wasting time going to the theatre to watch Ramaiya Vastavaiya instead watch it on some movie channel or DVD.Cast : Girish Kumar,Shruti Hassan, Sonu Sood, Poonam Dhillon and Randhir Kapoor Director : Prabhu Deva Producer: Kumar Taurani Music: Sachin-Jigar.

Story is very simple. Nothing new in screenplay and in dialogues even. All emotional scenes fall very flat. Most of the comedy scenes are also fated like emotional ones. You will laugh in a few comedy scenes, i.e when Randhir Kapoor eats the chilli powder mix rice. His expression binds you to laugh. Every scene and climax is most predictable. Yeah, it is true that you can easily predict the climax of a love story but the way of approach towards climax makes audience engrossed but this movie fails in it. Metaphor of clay horse was not well established so when the lead actors feel the attachment towards it you won't. Movie reminds you always about Maine Pyar kiya but Maine Pyar kiya is gem. Performance wise nothing to shout about. Zakir Hussain surprises and makes you laugh with his performance. The fabulous part of this film is music by Sachin Jigar. Songs are composed, written, choreographed and shot very nicely. They suddenly picked up the film.
