Behen Hogi Teri Movie Review: A Mixture Of Confusion & Light Hearted Mindless Comedy!
Is this Rajkummar Rao- Shruti Haasan starrer worth the hype? We watched it and here's our verdict.
What's
Yay
-
Rajkummar
Rao's
performance.
What's
Nay
-
Shruti
Haasan's
acting.
Iconic
Moment
-
When
Gattu
and
Bhure
get
drunk
and
start
abusing
the
name
'Rahul'.
A
synonym
for
Shahrukh
Khan
who
steals
away
other
people's
girlfriends.
Plot
Gattu
loves
Binny!
But
Gattu
is
an
adult
who
behaves
like
a
teenager.
He
loves
to
roam
around
with
friends,
doesn't
have
a
job,
runs
away
from
the
area
during
raksha
bandhan,
plays
gully
cricket
and
asks
his
parents
for
pocket
money.
He's
mostly
scared
all
the
time
but
he's
madly
in
love
with
his
neighbour
Binny
Arora
(Shruti
Haasan).
He's
been
taught
since
childhood
that
neighbourhood
girls
are
like
'mothers
and
sisters'
and
a
boy's
only
responsibility
is
to
protect
them.
Despite being juvenile and casual in life, Gattu (Rajkummar Rao) ends up winning over Binny and love blossoms between them. Things turn upside down when Gattu's best friend Bhure drops Binny on his bike and Gattu's father sees it. He spreads rumours in the area saying Bhure and Binny are secretly having an affair.
Bhure is the son of a former milkman who is now a gangster in town. Afraid and worried, Binny's unmarried brother decides to marry her off to an uber rich NRI from France. Will Gattu fight for his love and finally marry Binny? Or will the NRI from France woo Binny and marry her? For that you'll have to hit the theatres!
Direction
The typical girl-next-door love story has been done to death in Bollywood and director Ajay Pannalal has taken it up in this romcom. The direction is average and the 128 minutes long movie is long and boring. There are many twists in the film but the screenplay and the storyline do not have much to offer.
Although the film is a romcom, romance and comedy are missing in large amounts and the 'confusion' part is majorly highlighted. The characters lack depth and everything seems to look limited. At least, we hoped the director would do justice to the climax scenes by bringing maturity to the story, but that too is a let down. The typical girl-next-door love story just stands average in this one.
Performances
The only saving grace in this romcom is Rajkummar Rao. He has singlehandedly made this film 'at least watchable' and his acting looks natural. At some points we can't distinguish whether it's a movie or real life! He's that good on camera and does justice to whatever role is given to him.
Shruti Haasan looks beautiful but that's the only thing which is good. Her acting is below par and it seems like she herself is disinterested in the film. Even in simple scenes of crying, she makes it look like she's working hard to get it right.
Bhure (Herry Tangri) has done a good job and he's the only shoulder which Gattu can lean on. The friendship between Bhure and Gattu is shown well but because of the lack of a strong screenplay, it just doesn't cut the cake. The other side actors have done a good job too, but the weak plot is a let down.
Technical Aspects
There's nothing great about Behen Hogi Teri and everything looks average from the start till the end. The cinematography is like any other basic movie you'll watch on television when you have nothing else to do at home. It's that simple and casually made. There are no 'wow' scenes and all the camera angles are basic.
Verdict
Behen Hogi Teri is a decent film with not much masala in terms of anything. Romance and comedy are not up to the mark. Give it a miss!
