There are two types of people...and I'm not one of them!

I went to see this film expecting some terrible cinema, but I was surprised, it was actually quite enjoyable! Bunty Aur Babli is a movie showing romance, and comedy, mixed with an adventurous story.

Abhishek gives one of his better performances. He shows signs of great potential, and gives a very good performance. He looks very suave, cool and mischievous, and does an acceptable job as Bunty. Rani is a little less. I don't care if I get completely bashed by Rani fans for saying this, but she did an average job as Babli, I don't understand why she even does films sometimes, apart from dressing up, I didn't see what part she played in this film, and I mean that. I didn't like Amitabh Bachchan in this movie. As well as the really annoying wannabe gangster music that was played every time he entered, he disappointed me with a terrible performance.

The music, is the saving grace, though I do like the way the director, Shaad Ali, did some of the scenes. I felt "Kajra Re" was over-hyped, I personally didn't like the song at all. Aishwarya was used solely for commercial purposes, its obvious.

I was disappointed with this movie, but in the 2nd half, it got more interesting, things became easier to understand, it started making sense. But my issue with it was that, as soon as you understand it, it zooms ahead and before you know it, the movie's over. I didn't like that, it went too fast.

Be prepared for a roller-coaster...of doom!
