The comedy was amazing! And the conning was interesting too. But what I didn't believe was the romance. It happened too fast and it was unbelievable.
... View MoreHaving seen Band Baaja Baaraat which I really liked, I'd had quite some expectations from Maneesh Sharma's next feature, Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl, which stars the same actors in lead roles. For me, the film is a great disappointment, though it is not that bad per se. Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl is an unoriginal film about a con man who, using different names and identities, woos young women only to eventually rob them of their property. Then his victims hire a girl to take revenge and get their money back, and this girl he really falls in love with. Blah. Yeh, this is quite an old cliché and so is this movie, which lacks not only originality, but also depth and substance. It's a glossy one though, I must say, and watching it with friends may be quite enjoyable, particularly if they are not in the mood for something serious. The film has some catchy songs as well, though none really is memorable enough. The actors are good enough, but no one is great. Ranveer is alright. He's confident, at times over-confident, but the part is too ordinary to make a difference really (and maybe I was expecting more after BBB), and it does not challenge him in any way; instead it just gives him some corny lines and silly makeovers, and the good moments are too few to matter. Anushka is just too charming to ignore, although, just like with Ranveer, the role itself is nothing special compared to her brilliant turn as Shrutti Kakkar in Band Baaja Baaraat. Yet, there is something about this girl. It's amazing how often she reminds me of Preity Zinta. She is spunky, vivacious and very pretty, and has a strong screen presence, so I still believe she has quite a future in the industry. Of the three girls, all are quite hot, but Parineeta Chopra is clearly the show-stealer and is quite a promising newcomer. She is incredibly cute and consistently credible thanks to her natural flair for comedy and superb dialect. Sadly, the cast were not given a very memorable film to work in. Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl is a most predictable film; the script is well contrived for its own good and the ending couldn't be more saccharine. It has its moments, but it's still forgettable. Watch it if you must, really.
... View MoreBand Bajaa Baarat being a good movie gave everyone high expectations. Ladies vs Rickey Bahl is a nice simple and sweet movie. Every one will surely enjoy it if watch it with less expectations. Parineeta Chopra was really good at her role. Ranvir Singh was also good at his part.The movie starts well with a song. It then shows Ranvir Singh conning the girls. The conning style is original. All the actors play their part well. The songs are average. The movie is entertaining throughout. The second half is also interesting. The movie has a good start an a good end. The movie is good but not as good as their previous movie. So if you are going for it go with less expectations.
... View MoreWell was a bit hesitant initially to go for this movie. But the duo's chemistry in Band Baaja Baraat (BBB) made my decision easier to go and watch this film and as usual this pair didn't let me down. It was a refreshing movie and had loads of entertainment. Definitely paisa vasool and give it a try.Dimple was really the lauhgathlon and the corporate Ria was also uber kewwwllll... Guys and folks, if you are confused as to which movie should you put your money this season, go for it. A no-frills movie and not a bad movie at all. The sexy Anushka and the cool dude Ranveer were again amazing and re-created he sizzling chemistry between the two just like BBB... What are you waiting for? Go and book your seats.
