Review of Bunty Aur Babli (2005) by Eric H — 26 Nov 2013
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..
