Just imagine…
Making a Bollywood Bhel- take The scene from YPD, where Bobby Deol & Dharmendra are conmen trying to sell a school
property to unsuspecting businessman, the scene from Afoolatoon where Urmila is
dancing on a platform at a railway station,
Add to it the climax scene of 3idiots, the Kareena-Aamir dialogue "Whats your real name? Wangdu? I don't like Wangdu!" & Ranbir Kapoor’s Bachna ay Haseeno
act! Now mix it all up in a mess trying to create some Bollywood's Bambaiya bhel- or
in this case Delli’s Ricky Bahl! Its the recepie for a half-baked tasteless predictable
plot!
Three women become the victims of the same “Super-Conman”. The
film opens with the STAR of the movie- Dimple Chadda (Pariniti Chopra) getting
dressed to meet her boyfriend-cum-gym trainer. She leaves her house on the pretext
of “a wedding friend”, then off comes BF sunny the “broom broom friend”. They become
“party friends”. Dimple gets drunk & Sunny becomes “home dropping friend”!
After dropping the daughter home “safely” he takes the parents for a ride!
Scene two: Mumbai; Corporate world- tuff, competitive
& sharp! In this ruthless environment survives ambitious & smart Raina
Parulekar (Dipannita Sharma). She is looking out for Hussain’s Horses- Oh, not
at mahalakshmi race course! Her boss wants M.F. Hussain’s Painting on the
office wall within two days! Enter Diwen Shah, Art exhibitor-cum-manager. By
the end of the act he paints her face black, blue & red! Money, career,
reputation –all wiped off!
Next is Lucknow’s Siara Rashid’s (Aditi Sharma) turn. She is
a simple widow who helps her in-laws run the family cloth shop. The “Super-Conman”
befriends Siara as Iqbal Khan & puts forth a jaw-dropping irresistible business
offer. Hattrick! Siara is clean Bowled!
Raina, the mastermind, brings three of them together & they
hire an aggressive sales-girl, Ishika Desai (Anushka Sharma) to Con the “super-Conman”!
Period. Don’t waste time in thinking what happens next, if you have watched a
couple of Bollywood movies, you could apply for the script-writers post!
Well, if you expect great chemistry & sparks flying between
Ranveer and Anushka, probably like Band Baja Baarat, then let me warn you- This
move scores F grade- in the chemistry between the lead actors! Moreover the
sparks fly (literally)only when the firecrackers burst! That’s it, no more
chemistry; no more sparks!
There are only two things worth watching in this movie; one:
Pariniti Chopra’s commendable performance as the loud-mouthed, spontaneous dilli
ki kudi & Two: Shahrukh Khan’s Dialogue “Kabhi kabhi kuch jeetne ke liye
kuch harna padta hai, aur haar kar jeetnewale ko bazzigar kehte hain” as “super-Conman”,
Ricky Bahl’s (Ranveer Singh) ringtone!
By the end of the movie one is sure to feel “conned” by the
loopholes in the script, patchy songs & underutilised potential of the
actors!
Ricky Bahl is conning you of precious time & money! Its AUDIENCE
V/S RICKY BAHL!
