Yeh jawani hain diwani is a pretty drab and lonnnnnnng Kahaani,
where boy meets girl and girl falls in love with boy on a trek in Manali.
But he has dreams to achieve and miles to go before he sleeps
so he doesn't allow his " Badtameez Dil" for her go Dhak Dhak or leap.
This movie cannot be juxtaposed with " Zindagi naa milegi Dobara,
It's more a movie on mixed idealogies,
encompassing a mundane love and friendship drama.
YJHD is a good looking movie but lacks a good storyline,
it tries to be preachy and at times childishly sublime.
The Naach and the Gaana happens more often, than not,
and hampers the pace of the film and weakens the plot.
This movie is a typical masala flick, a bit zany and breezy,
but, not refreshingly different like the " Wake up Sid" of Mr.Ayan Mukherji.
There's nothing left to imagination with the "in your face" skin show,
unlike the 1990s where we wondered " Choli ke peeche kya hain" two decades ago.
Deepika is commendable as the bespectacled medical student, silently in love; Naina
Moving ably from geeky girl to sexy contact lensed lass baring her " Patli kamariya".
Aditya Roy Kapoor proves he can act well as a flirt and a bearded alcoholic
But I hope not to see him with a daru bottle in his next Hindi flick.
Kalki is superb with her anglicized hindi accent too
transitioning effortlessly from Tom boy to a beautiful "Honewali Indian Bahu".
And as usual my favourite Ranbir Kapoor is brilliant as always
effortlessly fitting into his role as Bunny, flirtatious and focused in many ways.
Be it his dialogue delivery, facial expressions or his smooth dancing moves,
this man is a Rockstar...he surely gets you into the groove.
So Yeh Jawaani Hain Diwani is not all that bad a Bollywood flick,
The choreography, acting and cinematography is pretty slick.
The editors could've snipped the film a bit more,
but, if you've got a large tub of caramel popcorn and great company,
go ahead watch this masalaedaar movie and enjoy the show.
