It is that time of the movies at the box office when a Yash Raj Film arrives and falls flat on its face. I saw the first trailer of Dil Bole Hadippa! (DBH) in a Cinemax at Mumbai when I had gone to watch New York. My first reaction when I saw it: over-action, pakka flop. My reaction after watching the film last night at Ramakrishna Glitterati, which by the way was not House Full on its first day: over-action, pakka flop, no story. The review can end right here, but I will have to present at least a decent write up about how Yash Raj Films continues to finance, produce, and distribute silly movies with no head or tail like Dil Bole Hadippa!
The film is directed by Anurag Singh (associate director of films like Dhoom 2, Koyla and Karan Arjun) and made his directorial debut with Raqeeb in 2008. Anurag has presented the emotions of Cricket in his movie. The director feels that in Punjab people say hadippa when they are very happy and that is the film is all about. Being happy with emotions. The film is based upon a girl who is mad about cricket and wants a berth in the men cricket team.
Dil Bole Hadippa! Many anticipated this YashRaj film to be a MASALA movie that would help revive the career of Rani and also the banner. The same banner that once gave us hits such as DDLJ and Veer Zaara. With the promos released it immediately got compared to 'Chak De India' and after having watched the movie one would say that it was a weak adaptation that tries to follow a typical bollywood narrative. The music was received well and the promos looked very fresh trying to capture its target audience only it didn't. I applause the music which still gets played in the car on shuffle on the ipod. I when to watch this movie with high hopes for Rani, because I admire her acting although many may disagree. I believe that she is a talented actress only shes been selecting her work incorrectly she only needs a strong script and she would prove her critics and give the other actresses in the industry and run for there money. Singh has not help revive but help kill Rani, which is a shame. Mr Kapoors, over all acting despite at times being poor was good as long as you had wool pulled over your eyes. The references to DDLJ didn't do him any favors but make him look weak as one begins to mentally compare him to Mr Khan. Miss Sawant hyped herself up way to much and in turn was on screen for far less time then she made out to be. 'I play an integral part of the story' Im sorry what story. Its a good job Rani locked her away so she didn't come on stage only they should have done that at the beginning and left her there. She didn't play any part but was there to be looked at hence the close up shots of her breasts and legs equally Miss chopra flaunting her bits about added to Laura Mulveys theory of women are the subject of desire and are there to be looked at. Over all the film wont do well in india but Europe and the worldwide, with the help of the religious festival Eid it may turn out to make a small % .Yash Raj Studios please stop turing out trash and give us what were really hungry for movies like DDLJ and Veer Zaara.
I am passionate for bollywood films since the age of 8, now more than a decade later, I keep watching them.Nevertheless with the many movies out there I sometimes seem to forget the plot, so I decided to have this blog in order to help me remember why I loved it and what the movie was about. I am a big fan of romance and the way bollywood cinema has changed throughout the years. Any comments or concerns or have any movies you want to suggest let me know.
