Band Baaja Baaraat Hindi Movie Free Download 720p

To be fair, it is so easy to get this wrong, as so, SO, SOOOO many films did over the last couple of years! (Dil Bole Hadippa doesnt make my list).
Having said that, I actually had a great time watching the film because it was not pretentious, the dialogues were brilliant, and then the line "main chai main dooba bis-kut hogaya"
YAY! You liked it! But awww, you've coupled it with some of my least fav movies of the last two years - Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and DIl Bole Hadippa! In fact, what i like best about BBB was that it bridged that distance between a rom-com and "ball of fluff"- It had a good script, relatable characters and moments/situations/scenes that stayed on long after you'd finished the movie, along with all the fun and fanfare of a typical cotton-candy flick!
On a completely unrelated note, I FINALLY saw Dhobi Ghat today, which i'd been waiting to watch ever since i read your stellar blog post on the film, and i LOVED it! Went back to read your review again after watching the movie, and now i can objectively saw, its the best review ever! Wish i could write as well about movies i love as you do!
I've heard so many good things about this, and I was looking forward to seeing it, but I think your description of "the kind of clothes that would make the rainbow hide in shame!" has pushed me to order it immediately. Can't wait!
What a great description: "glittery fluff ball"... I'll remember it!
I put this movie on my birthday wish list, even before I read the review, because everyone was just loving it.
There's just one thing I don't agree with: I loved Wake Up Sid and Jab We Met (mostly WUS), but I hated Love Aaj Kal.
Awww... no love for Hadippa from anyone, eh? All right, I'll just sit in my lonely corner of Hadippa fans and listen to Ishq Hi Hai Rab... :)
@ dishoomdishoom (so in love with your screenname, by the way!) - Ha! I loved that line too! In fact I loved all of Ranveer's accent and his funny way of messing up words! But my favourite "chai" line of the year is still the one from Man Lafanga: "teri hi baaton se pighalta hai/ chai mein cheeni jaise ghulta hai". Soooo cheesy, I love it! :)
@ Jyothi - woo-hoo!! You liked Dhobi Ghat!!! Yay! Your words made me feel all fuzzy inside! :D I was wondering if anyone would go back to that review after seeing the movie to give me their opinion on it, so thank you! It means a lot to know you liked it even after!
Now re: BBB: I'm curious why you found it to be halfway between the two "genres". For me I guess what makes the distinction, what makes me appreciate a good rom-com is how the story affect the characters. JWM, WUS and the like are films where you meet a set of characters in the beginning and you watch them grow and change through the story. That to me makes a good story. The fluffy stuff is fun to watch, but the only thing that changes over the 2-3 hours of the film is the fact that they realize they're in love. Which is great fun, but not memorable enough for me. I hope this makes sense, but I'd love to hear your take on how to meet halfway on the way from one to the other!
@ Liz: bwahahaaa!!! Prepare for the retina replacement, I will not be responsible for it! :P Ok, just kidding, but really, I don't think you'll regret it, BBB is great fun! And the songs, THE SONGS!!!... :D
@ Lime(tte): LAK is a hard one to explain, I think Imtiaz Ali had a really tough act to follow after JWM, and he didn't exactly make the greatest casting decision with Saif. But that said, it was a story that went well with me, barring a couple of silly plot-twists. I know it's not well loved, but for me no one beats Imtiaz Ali when it comes to telling a good romantic story and getting me involved with the characters, no matter who the characters are. I always appreciate that he manages to stay away from tearjerking melodrama which I am highly allergic to, he tells his stories very matter of factly, and that is exactly my kind of story. I suppose it's a matter of taste, he just really clicks with me.
@ The Bollywood Fan: Oh no, what have I done! LOL! Don't worry, there is plenty to enjoy in BBB even if it's not the most... memorable story. And from what I know about you, you have a much higher tolerance than me for this type of story *cough I Hate Luv Storys cough*. So I think you'll be fine. I suspect the reason why so many people hated DBH and APKGK was because they're so glam (or they try to be) and they promoted the living daylights out of them, but this one dodged all that. It's a good mix, really, try it. If nothing else, you'll gain new appreciation for Anushka (whoa, how she DANCES!!), and you'll definitely have on your list another young dude to keep an eye out for in the future. I'm not in luuuv with Ranveer (yet) but I was definitely impressed! :D
Hmmm... from your point of view, BBB does feel like the perfect ball of fluff! i guess what i take for balls of fluff are movies like Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi that have all the colors, dhol-baaja and naach-gaana but where the plot usually is over-the-top, the script super -melodramatic and the story is such that it requires some serious suspension of disbelief to sit through the movie ( like, WHICH wife who not be able to recongnise her husband after a mere makeover!)However, in BBB's case, each of the characters were well etched-out, dialogues were unpretentious and real, and except for the climax, there was not a single scene that made me go "meh! whatever!" (Sort of like Wake Up Sid, which, to me, is the best rom-com to come out in the last couple of years!)so, thats what i meant when i said it bridged the gap between the two.. :)
Phew! there!i promise not to hog more comment space in this post again! ;)
I love fluffy movies and I can't wait to see BBB.
RE: puppies, in the song "Niluvutaddam" in NVND (after they realize they're in love), there's a moment when Sid is holding two puppies for no reason besides shutting off your brain. NVND's not completely fluffy, since Santosh grows as a character, I guess. Plus the obligatory fight at the end.
Nah, BBB didn't work for me AT ALL (sorry for the big letters, just felt like shouting it). I love fluff movies where you don't have to think about anything much, but I expect the leads to be at leas likeable. The first half went by nice enough, but the rest was so so messed up. Couldn't shut my brain off, wasn't entertained, the guy started overacting, Anushka is still all limbs and not a gram of fat, too much posing..
That one piece of music you put the trailer up for is the only thing that I'm going to keep. Anushka still hasn't won me over. The newbie.. I'll keep an eye out for. We'll see.
Hey guys, sorry for the delay in publishing your comments.
So funny, Jyothi and Remini, I guess if you guys are the opposite ends of the spectrum, I am right in between. :)
Remini, I think we both had really high expectations for this one, but for me the two leads did make it work. In fact that's what I would say makes the movie. So I can totally see how you didn't like it if the two of them didn't do it for you. Because in all fairness it is a pretty run of the mill plot, so it's all up to the main guys to sell it to you. It worked for me, and I didn't find Ranveer over the top at all, plus I seem to really dig Anushka, so it was a good combo for me. Maybe she'll grow on you too, in time? As for Ranveer, I'm sure we'll see much better from him anyway, since this was his first film, so "wait and see" seems to be a good attitude.
@ Kaitlyn: Welcome! :) I think you will really really enjoy this one. Not in a NVND way (which I agree, has quite a bit of substance on top of the puppies and the dancing cows), but in a "great timepass, taking your mind off everything else for a couple of hours" kind of way. Save it for a rainy day ;)
@ Jyothi, before I get to the film, please don't ever think you're hogging space by giving me your opinion on films. I thoroughly enjoy reading it! That's what this space is for, people's opinions, and I love getting all kinds of different ones, so don't ever feel bad for that.
Ah... The RNBDJ dilemma: is it believable or is it not... See, for me, for some reason it worked. I've had people not recognize me when I went from long hair to short hair, or changed colours, and I have also been known to not recognize people I work closely with the first time they switched from business suits to jeans and tshirt. So because of that and many other such examples in my life, I had no problem buying the "Superman/Clark Kent" angle. And like I said, I perceived it as a fluffy movie anyway, so I wasn't really expecting real life accuracy.
Same with BBB, there are so many angles that I would not normally buy in a serious movie (the entire event planning angle for one, and nothing ever going wrong when they start out, but maybe that's just me). Also the whole premise of the two of them forming the partnership is pretty thin, once you think about it. The type of thing that would never happen in real life. I mean, I would even hesitate to make some of my oldest friends business partners, let alone some guy I just met and didn't even like. But because it's such a fluffy story, all that didn't matter, and I didn't see it with a critical eye. But that's what I mean when I say the story is fairly thin, so in the end it's all about being willing to not overthink these details. It seems that you found the characters and the situations much more relatable than me, which I think a lot of other people did. I agree with you that it's better thought out as a story than DBH and RNBDJ, but it didn't reach the level of memorable cinema with great characters IMO (like WUS or JWM did). Granted, it takes A LOT to impress me in a love story, so my opinion is only worth its weight in pixels when it comes to rom-coms anyway. :P
PS for Jyothi :)
I just read an article that talks about films in the past year that have managed to create good rural or middle class urban characters (and stories), as opposed to the rich/opulent brats in the hits from the last 2 decades. BBB was one of the films mentioned. I wonder if it was this angle too that made this movie so much more memorable for you than it did for me, what with me not being familiar with what is "true to Indian life" specifically (as opposed to just true to life in general), so not something I would necessarily notice or value... Hm...
