SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

jollyrancher-56592 This was the first Bollywood movie I ever saw, so maybe I'm a bit biased. But even after watching it multiple times, I still say that this is one of my favorite Bollywood movies. Its cheesy as hell for sure, but its also the total package- it's got romance, comedy, crime, action, killer music, great performances. Rani Mukerji is the best! Overall a great feel-good movie.

kramachandran Overall this movie is just about average . Some scenes are really humorous like Rani and Abhishek meeting at the rail station. Rani as usual sizzles and Abhi gives a fairly OK performance. Amitabh is not in his element except for the dance sequence "kajrare". Somewhat his performance can be termed as overacting. This man ( Amitabh ) is overworked and his age shows. He is burning at both ends. It is high time he slows down a bit. And now the piece de resistance of the movie : That is the music. The music is very good and all the songs are quite hummable. The music is quite experimental and unique.The story is plagiarized from a number of Hollywood movies, chief of which is "Catch me if you can". The plot is not detailed enough . For example the way the duo ( Rani and Abhi )dupe their victims , seems childish and there are many gaps in their schemes. But anyway the viewer can take all this in his stride, for after all this is a Bollywood movie and they are notoriously not meant to be perfect in their plots.All in all a passable fare..

larubia90631 Let me preface my comments with this disclaimer, I am a nonIndian. Forgive my obvious ignorance and any misspellings, and proceed at your own risk.I rented B&B from Netflix because I've seen KHAKEE with Bachchan. the father and Ash Rai, plus KUCH NAA KAHE WITH Bachchan, the son and, again, Ash Rai. The father is obviously an national Indian treasure as a wonderful, serious actor. The son is clearly a gifted comedian and maturing, sensitive actor. Ash Rai? She's one of a kind too, and she clearly knows how to pick 'em in her leading men. By the way, Ajay Devron, her leading man in Straight From the Heart, Raincoat, and as that nefarious terrorist in KHAKEE, is another example of her very good taste in who appears opposite her on screen.B$B is delightful especially for Bachchan the son, who did great work here in various con man roles and in his interaction with his perky, little costar, Rani Munkerjee. Of course, the whole thing is a bit of fluff from beginning to end, and anyone who expects more, should leave as soon the first energetic musical number hits the screen.The narration by Bachchan, the father and his eventual, inevitable appearance as the world-weary cop chasing these carefree, con kids is worth the wait. Of course, it is just like every other American cops 'n robber spoof that I've ever seen; nobody really gets hurt.Now the surprise and joy for me was the so-called 'item number' in the bar with father, son, and their co-star from other recent movies, Ash Rai. The drunken banter (no, I don't speak Hindi and had to rely on the subtitles) and body language was very funny to me despite, or maybe because of, this obvious handicap. Their interactions with Ash prior to the dance number were perfectly timed comedy reactions too. The dance number itself ripped up the place and Ash looked as if she was having a lot of fun "flirting" with two of her favorite men. Now that's entertainment in my book, and in any language.Go rent B&B, or, even better, buy the DVD and add it to your Bollywood collection. That's what I'm doing right after I finish this review. Thanks to both Bachchans, Ms. Munkerjee and Rai for sharing their talents with all of us.

nena_maria16 Great movie, Abishek and Rani did a great job!!!! They sure know how to entertain people. In this movie I didn't liked Ambitabh Bachan. He played the mean guy, but in the end he became nice to BUNTY & BABLI.The story is kinda obvious. The But Rani and Abishek did their best to place different characters. Rani and Abishek had some kinda chemistry here going one. This movie ends with an happy end, so it's for the whole family.Also great songs. The first time I heard these songs it was at the IIFA AWARDS 2005 in Amsterdam. And I started to like them from then. But In the movie the sound much better.Aishwarya Rai is doing a song, and shows us how pretty she is again :).
