Director
Ayan Mukerji made a brilliant debut with 2009 Hit Wake Up Sid! Wake Up
Sid was produced by Karan Johar with Ranbir Kapoor played the lead. Four
years later the hit combination of Ayan-Karan-Ranbir is coming with Yeh
Jawaani Hai Deewaani (YJHD) YJHD is the first film of Ranbir Kapoor in
2013. The actor had a rocking 2011 & 2012 with Rockstar & Barfi,
both bagged him the best actor awards. YJHD is the third film of Karan
Johar. The director had a bad year so far with his Bombay Talkies
(Co-Director) & Gippi (Producer) failed to impress at the boxoffice
despite good reviews.
Story
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is the
story of 4 friends played by Ranbir Kapur , Aditya Roy Kapur, Deepika
Padukone & Kalki and their meeting after 8 years. Again they part
their ways just to meet each other again to celebrate the wedding of
Kalki.
Positives
Ranbir Kapoor as Bunny is superb. He
already proved his acting credibility with award winning performance in
Rockstar & Barfi and in YHJD he continued the same. His dance in the
chartbuster song Batameez Dil song is fantastic. Be it emotional scene
or romantic scene, you just can't take your eyes from his frame.
Aashiqui 2 hero Aditya Roy Kapur is super as his friend Avi. Both Ranbir
and Aditya share a terrific chemistry as best pals. Deepika looks
great, but her acting is strictly OK except the climax scenes.
Pritam's
music is another pluspoint of the film. All songs are good and
picturised superbly. Batameez Dil & Balam Pichkari are already
chartbsters. Choreography of Batameez Dil & Via Agra are top class.
Good to see Madhuri Dixit on screen after a long time with her superb
dance in the song Via Agra. Cinematography by V.Manikandan is first
rate.
Negatives
Story & Screenplay! Yes you heard it
right. Story of YJHD is too confusing. Infact very weak. Entertainment
factor is missing here. And a slow paced running time of 2hr 45mins.
Kunaal Kapur Roy is totally wasted! Ranbir's scenes in US are not
executed properly. While watching the film I had a feeling that Kallki
is miscasted. The talented actress overacted at some scenes. The climax
was too rushed & disappointed on a bad note!
Overall
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is hugely disappointing! One of the weakest film
coming from Dharma productions. The film is all set to have a
phenomenal opening with 38-40crore, thanks to superhit music, excellent
promotion & Ranbir Kapoor's star power. Multiplexes will see top
record opening for 2013 & single screens business will be average to
bad. However film will drop from Monday onwards for sure. Still the
opening weekend will help the film to avoid losses.
Verdict - Khatranak Hai yeh Jawaani...
Rating - 2.5/5! Just About Average!!!
Box office Prediction - 82 crore!!!
