Finally the old Yash Raj films bounces back with what it was always good at – NRIs, foreign locales, and ofcourse RAJ!!!
Reel Life – The film is about a young man, who truly foolishly doesn’t understand women. This guy is NOT a playboy (as the makers have been stating), instead he is a guy who really wants to look cool in front of his friends. So there he is, meeting 3 different women at different stages of his life and within different countries. He breaks the heart of two, while the third one puts him at the receiving end of what he had done in the past. The boy grows up, and very sweetly goes about not just making amends to his approach towards women, but also goes to do something else. I do not want to state what that is, because that would be giving away the plot of the film. The first half is very trendy and packs in a lot of laughs and beautiful women showing just how hot and/or cute they are.
Real Life – I guess the human message here is about realizing that we will never know what people go thru when he hurt them, until we ourselves go thru that pain at some later stage in our own lives. I guess when we do realize this, we kind of remember those who we hurt, but it stays at that. What this story does it goes the extra mile to go beyond just remembering those we hurt. I don’t know if this will sound dramatic here, but I hope that we all do atleast a bit of what Raj does in this film. More so ever, I hope we realize that we shouldn’t really be hurting people like we often do.
Cinematically – the film is very Yash Raj Filns – Europe, Euro-rail, aerial shots, bright colours and basically a fantasy that a lot of Indians in India look towards as being the ‘wow’ life. The music if OK-ish, nothing great. But yes this film has Yash Raj written all over it.
Finally – Go watch the film, specially if you are a fan of the Yash Raj genre of films. I did have a lot of reservations about Ranbir, but the boy oozes out confidence. He does not come across as being a wanna-be. The girls are good in their respective roles. I am not a big fan of Deepika, but she has this very elegant presence, which in my opinion goes down when she starts to speak English. Minsha (spelt right?) does come across as being the character she portrays (it is just me, but does this girl’s face remind anyone else of the very hot Terry hatcher?) Finally Bips, is HOT. Man! This girl just has it. She is very good as the hot model, the committed girls friend and the bitchy super diva. Seriously, the film is not great cinema, but it is very much a very good serving of what we desi-folk love – Masala film.

Best Movie of the yr so far. I knew since the begining befroe it even got released that it was going to be a Blockbuster movie. Good Job Ranbir & Deepkia Nice couple. Bips looks good for the first time in her life wow. she look good too.
Very Easy & Fast Pace movie. Keeps u bz and is not a headache or pain. Doesn’t makes u tense like some other movies when u go to the theater to enjoy u end up getting bored or so. But this movie is really fun. Something like HumaTum, Salam Namste very easy going and fast paced very tight script. managed very well.
