To start with ,I would like to dispel the fact that critics' r n not always correct, even they humans n thus bound to make petty mistakes, just like here, .. I myself got carried away by their take on d flick n forbade myself from watching it the release weekend but finding no other good release ,I finally got myself to see it, n boy, it ain't dat bad.. First things first, the movie belongs to Rishi sir, he just like amitabh sir is reinventing himself in his retirement age & his previous outings in last 5yrs.bear a testimony to that.. A role of a father, a Hitler types with his strict ,disciplined n honest approach to life, one who will not agree to a potential suitor with closed eyes n in fact will test him on all counts.rummaging thoroughly in his past., Be it his rough attitude towards his would be son-in-law , or his pride in mouthing" home secretary was my batch mate", he does it with gut-so n makes it so much pleasurable.. Sir , u just rock..Now the lead protagonists, both ayushman & sonam give a decent act, ., ayushman looks good but his boyish charm n act reminds one of his past flick, he sure knows how to act but d script gives him the same type of act.. Miss sonam looks cool & a style diva n performs well, in fact has got control over her act n authority that was missing till now .. The problem here isn't the acting, its mainly the script, which does not give the leads to grow & mainly focused on rishiji... & hence the movie's best parts are the moments between ayushman & rishiji, ya heard it right, if only the same zeal was shown in moments between the leads!!!!To add to it,the horrible music & lyrics , the awful choreography & then d cinematography, thankfully they were few.. Even shooting in a city like Delhi n not able to score on the visuals!! Set against d backdrop of recession, it can be anyone's story of ups n downs n d problems linked to it.. It ain't a two time watch, but it certainly is a time pass n kudos to dis yr.'s supposedly best supporting act..!!!

'Bewakoofiyaan' is A One-Time Watch! It has some charming moments, which stand out. However, a inconsistent second-hour plays a spoilsport.'Bewakoofiyaan' Synopsis: A hardworking guy, after losing his job, finds it difficult to deal with his materialistic girlfriend & her nagging father. 'Bewakoofiyaan' has an entertaining first-hour, which genuinely works. The sequences with the protagonist & his girlfriend's nagging father are interesting. Even the romantic-track has a charm to it. But, the second-hour is below the mark. Its consistent & sluggish. Habib Faisal's Story has merits in the first-hour, but fails to engage in its second-hour. Nupur Asthana's Direction is fair. Cinematography is claustrophobic. Editing is average. Music by Raghu Dixit is ordinary.Performance-Wise: Ayushmann Khurrana is fantastic. He's the best thing about this film. Sonam Kapoor looks sexy, but impresses only in some scenes. Rishi Kapoor is first-rate as the nagging father. On the whole, 'Bewakoofiyaan' works, but only in parts.

In Bewakoofiyaan- at least they got the title right, for it rarely rises above the foolish, being one long journey of excesses. Is it a satire on today's shallow consumerism? Or a medley of brand endorsements? Is it about the intricacies of yuppie, fashionable love? Or about the perils of recession pockmarked life? Either ways, Bewakoofiyaan is mediocre, dim-witted and uninspiring.Not that there is a story. The setting is flashy Gurgaon, specifically Cybercity. High rises, malls, coffee shops, and the occasional fisticuffs on the road- the signatures of Gurgaon is on show here. Young, upwardly mobile professionals Mayera and Mohit are very much in love. She, a Mango, Zara, Steve madden wearing chic financial whizkid, and he, arrogant and street smart, always struggling to keep up with his more gifted girlfriend. Unfair combination, right? Yes, that's what life is.Leave Mohit aside, but Mayera, despite her middle class upbringings and apparent emotional intelligence treats her love story as an endless materialistic and hedonistic journey- pubbing, shopping, dining, pubbing, shopping, dining, pubbing, shopping, dining...you get the point. He flashes a credit card with a 3 lakh limit, to which she pulls out one with a 5 lakh limit. Mohit lets out a sigh. It is that kind of movie.Things go downhill for him as he is laid off. On top of his demanding girlfriend and his own insecurities, Mohit has to battle a bulldog of a father in law who suffers from an extreme case of "no guy is good enough for my darling daughter" syndrome. Ayushmann had a crackling debut in Vicky Donor, but much like his character in the movie, he has been straining to match those highs ever since. Here he, like Sonam is curiously flat, and they have zero chemistry. Sonam has this carefully coiffured image of a fashionista in the real world, which she has carried forth in this movie too. But there is little else about her, and she seems to have forgotten to carry her acting manual onto the sets of Bewakoofiyaan. It is only the past few years that Rishi Kapoor has grudgingly buried the mantle of eternal lover-boy and experimented with variety- pity that he has realized so late in his career that villainy, drama, comedy all does come naturally to him. Here too he tries to keep things energized, but there is this much you can do when saddled with a bland script.Everything is forgettable- the music, the cinematography, the dialogs, the plot. There is zero emotional connect with the lead characters and that is kind of sad coming from a lady director who specializes in youth focused flicks. The film did not do anything to me, despite the familiar surroundings, or having actors that I like. Director Nupur Asthana barely touches upon real life issues such as joblessness, and changing gender expectations. Instead she focuses on buffoonery and style statements. Don't like, don't recommend. 5/10

Bewakoofiyan is enjoyable.After Gunday this is 2nd movie from YRF.This one is better than Gunday in order to screenplay,cinematography and direction. Story lies between Mohit(Ayushman Khurana) and his girlfriend Mayera(Sonam Kapoor) and her father V K Sehgal(Rishi Kapoor).Direction is superb.Movie's pace is slow and at some point very slow but because of good cinematography and screenplay it won't become boring.1st half is entertaining full of party,passion and many comic scenes.2nd half becomes sentimental and serious plus more slow than 1st half.Due to bad music movie becomes boring when songs start except Gulchchrey.There are so many touchy scenes in 2nd half.For me one of best scenes was interval scene like it is very nicely directed plus written. Rishi Kapoor is good as Hitler father.His expressions are superb in every ironically dialogs.Ayushman as always with one expression in every scenes.But he is very good in serious scenes.Sonam Kapoor is damn hot in bikini and most of other scenes.Sonam has given kissing scenes first time. Overall,this is not worth watching but from me it is recommended ! This is not that type of movie which will be liked by everyone but for real cinema lovers this is worth watching.Go for it,not highly recommended !!
