Ranbir Kapoor is cast opposite hotties Bipasha Basu, Deepika Padukone and Minissha Lamba in Bachna Ae Haseeno. Clearly, Bachna Ae Haseeno has a great cast, great chemistry amongst actors [so sizzling, it could melt butter], great locations [jaw dropping actually] and some great moments. But all these factors combined together don't make a great film. The film suffers, to a major extent, due to its screenplay running out of steam in the second hour.
The gist of the story is truly captivating - the guy is a complete flirt, he wears his heart on his sleeve. Enter three women in different stages of his life. Love is in the air. Two dream of marrying him, but he ditches them and the third, whom he intends on marrying, says a blunt 'No' to the offer. Heart-broken, the guy realizes his folly and plans on doing penance. He goes back to the first two women and apologises. Wow! A story to bowl you over indeed!
Meet Raj [Ranbir Kapoor]. He falls in love thrice... with Mahi [Minissha], with Radhika [Bipasha], and with Gayatri [Deepika]. Different ladyloves at different times in his life. And each of them teach him a little bit about love and a little bit about life, in their own sweet, sexy or sassy way.
Directorially, Siddharth Raj Anand offers stunning visuals and some really fine performances, but is let down by the script. Vishal-Shekhar's music is nothing to rave about. Barring 'Khuda Jaane' and 'Lucky Boy', the remaining songs don't have a lingering effect. Ranbir Kapoor is marvellous. An incredible actor. One will run out of adjectives and personifications describing his performance. Amongst girls, Bipasha Basu stands the tallest. First Race and now Bachna Ae Haseeno, the actress is finally getting the right roles that do justice to her talent. Also, she looks fab! Minissha doesn't work at the start, but scores in the emotional scenes, especially in the second hour. Deepika is a sore point. Her role isn't convincing and that's the reason why this performance doesn't work. The only consolation is that she looks gorgeous.
