I wasnt interested in watching Baar Baar dekho because of its star cast...but my wife insisted...I watched the trailor...and thought...hmmm...looks interesting. lets go and check out.
Went to watch it without much expectation but was pleasantly surprised. Its a very deep film in terms of its content and its also a film which matches Hollywood standards in many ways. But one wonders why they named it Baar Baar dekho?
The film is a story of a young mathematician (Sidharth Malhotra) getting married to an art person (Katrina). The day of marriage he has a fight with his lady love and falls asleep. The movie is all about him waking up at different stages of his life (in future) and getting surprised about whats happening around. To see what happens and how he comes back to present is something you will have to watch.
The script of the film is very fresh and the way it portrays future is amazing..its believable and not overdone...though they could have tried a different way of taking the person into future. But it works fine.
The things I liked about the film:
1. The story - The story is very contemporary and has been done very well.
2.The message - if you can get to it OR if the Director really intended one. For me it was the key...some dialogues...have the entire world in them...You cannot live the same day again...Tum ek hi din dobara se nahi jee sakte...Choti cheezon ko pakdo. This film has the capability to alter life if you catch it.
3. The portrayal of future - As the lead character goes into future...its created in a very believable manner. The classroom in his university. The 25% tint in the cars.The cell phones and the bedroom of 2047 is very believable. The buildings are also believable.
4. Acting - Sidhharth is good and the best thing is that the story shows Katrina is born in London...so she can carry her natural accent as well. Good thinking. It must also be the first film where we can see Katrina as an old woman...she still looks young with grey hair.
Its a film of a different kind. Go..give it a chance.
P.S - Baad men pata chala that it is a directorial debut by Nitya Mehra. Great film on a debut and we can see your class lady.
