Sadly Over-hyped

Masterful Movie

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I am not really sure why I am still giving it 3 stars. I spent my valuable $s to watch this movie in theater and believe me I was really upset (IMDB would not let me write prohibited words...WTF) to watch it. Just figured out that the story wasn't even original and is mostly based on B&C. And, still, the guy claims that the story was his concept? Are Bollywood directors so impudent? Or just admit that we lack originality and creativity in our film industry.A couple of other movies that come to mind that have been copied include Aamir (copy of some Columbian movie), Life in Metro (certain segment taken scene-to-scene from The Apartment) and Ek Chhoti Si Love Story (A Short Story About Love). All the non-Desi counterparts of these movies are excellent.

i love this film and it was very good and i watch it so many time i don't get tired of watching and Rani looked wonderful and she did really good and i love you Rani Mukherjee so much. i love the way you look and i love you're hair style and you look pretty every movie you make and keep up the good work and i hope you do good in you future and keep up the good work and good luck in you're other movies and hope you do good and you look pretty in sari and you look good with Abhishek Bachan and you'll make a cute couple and hope to see both of you in any other movies and i love the way you act and that makes you look so pretty and smart and i wish you're all wishes and hope come true you're fan.

Vimmi (Babli) is born and brought up in a remote Indian village - with very simple mediocre pair of parents. Being exposed to media and films - she decides to run away from home to make it big in the world and become rich. She meets yet another person - a male - who had also run away from his house - for again the same reason - Mediocre Life style. They meet and he convinces her to reach Mumbai and become rich. He uses exactly the same tools as used by most males to get rich quickly : make an attractive Lady dress p scantily and seduce some sex starved / rich idiot/ any male basically. So Vimmi - now Babli wear scanty outfits and they make a fool of anyone and everyone they meet and get away with all their antics! - the IPS Officers fail in front of two village bred loafers !! LAter things go wrong when they marry and decide to have a child !! After all they were foolish Indians- bred in remote Indian village - where it is thought that Abortion is a sin !SO when she was about to deliver, the Police Officer catches them - they escape yet again - but caught eventually but left on emotional grounds - marveling at their sharp brain and innocent hearts !! Later , after a gap of 4 years when the child is 4 years old - the Police officer requests them to help the IPS Officers by rendering them their sharp brained services !! HAil IPS - Movie is trying to teach the world that ultimately Let the dumb and the dumber rule...since majority of common mass are dull !!

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.
