“Bachna-Hasna”
“Bachna-Hasna”
“Bachna-Hasna”
.. No shpelling mistake there, just some original lingual mishtake from the guy who was selling the tickets in black!
Got the tickets in black, but it was worth it. Jam packed theatre, with crowd hooting every now and then, made it even more entertaining!

I call this movie a typical ‘Bollywood Masala’.
The Exotic locations, catchy songs, one Hero with looks and skills, overly flaunted with 3 beautiful ladies! Does the director need anything more to make the movie a hit? (Of course, he needs a Producer!!)

So what’s the story all about?!
Simple, it’s Bhel Puri of DDLJ, Salaam Namaste and Yashraj magic.
Ranbir Kapoor (Raj) seems to have only one goal – Woo woman, whoever walks into his life by chance, by mistake. He impresses and wins over, but only to ditch them later. When his ‘original’ love gets rejected, he realises his mistakes and decides to go tell them ‘Sorry’.
Though the story is most of the times predictable it keeps the viewers entertained. Surely, a ‘paisa-wasool’ flick.

One thing I find common in Yashraj movies is ‘the Decade history for a ticket’ – What I mean is the story in the movie will start in 1996 and but end after a decade. Remember, Veer (SRK) waiting for Zaara (Preity) for 20 years? *yawn*

Anyway, I would rate this one 7.5/10
Why 7.5? (Especially that .5?)

1. Cuz’ I took a mean of 7 and 8.
2. The Exotic locations! Colourful Songs!
3. Aging of Ranbir looks natural in the movie. With specs and formals he looks older.
4. For Kunal Kapoor :D :D

The So- So factor about the movie?
1. The Reel-Real couple
2. The predictable storyline
3. The Theatre seats!! :|

Go ahead, watch it if you still haven’t!
Cyaaaa ! :)
