A Sublime Love Story: Barsaat

Im a huge movie buff--I've basically seen them all and Barsaat is a movie I recommend everyone see, despite its few flaws. It is a very distinct remake of Hollywoods "Sweet Home Alabama" with Reese Witherspoon and Patrick Dempsey, but in all honesty I enjoyed Barsaat more.

There is very realistic chemistry between Bobby Deol and Priyanka Chopra, especially towards the end. While the storyline, with a man and two completely different women, is nothing new to Bollywood films, it was executed in an entire unique style. Bipasha Basu acts as the Americanized love interest of Bobby Deol and I think she comes off well as a light and bubbly character. Priyanka Chopra's role is the exact opposite as she plays the completely Indianized childhood love of Bobby Deol, however her acting is quite commendable, especially in those deep and touching scenes where she intelligently counters Bobby Deol in battles of the wits. Bobby Deol too surprises in this light, romantic flick as his character is lovable yet strong. It is easy to recognize his deep feelings towards both girls.

The songs in the movie are especially good. "Nakhre" is an excellent upbeat tune, it will get anyone dancing. "Mushkil" and "Barsaat Ke Din Aaye" are my favorite songs, as they are both extremely sweet and the vocals are amazing.

Overall I recommend this film to anyone who likes watching light, feel good films. Families can even watch it together and enjoy. It makes everyone want to fall in love and goes in a different direction than most movies with similar story lines. Therefore I say FORGET WHAT THE CRITICS SAY and WATCH IT! Trust me, you wont regret it :)

I watched this movie on 12 oct 2013 and found it really pleasing. Nice story and pain is beautifully portrayed by actors.

Sometimes I felt that the story is bookish, but as I have felt such things... like "Jb hum mile the tb bhi brsaat ho rhi thi aur aaj bhi brsaat ho rhi hai"... but the thing is that,, I have also felt such situations which looks like bookish but they happen in real when you love someone truly... So I don't consider that a bookish thing....

I liked the concept and this movie left an open question.......

1) If Kajal truly loved Aarav, she won him.....

2) Aarav loved Kajal that's why he went again to his wife.....

3) Aarav loved Anna.... Also Anna loved him by true heart.. then why fate decided to play with Anna...

We truly love but sometimes we don't get the one we love... its not that Anna's love was lesser than Kajal.. both were very good and loved aarav from bottom of heart.. but fate decided to give Aarav to Kajal... and left Anna in pain....

Anna said in the end....... "Aarav loves me a lot.. its just he loves Kajal a little more".

I hold my wife with tears in eyes.....

Assalam-O-Alaikum,

Just watched Bobby Deol's New movie 'BARSAAT', it touched my heart, just not because of Bobby, but the story, true feelings for love, sacrifice, songs, screen-play, direction.

'BARSAAT' is a light romantic film with drama, emotions, and nice songs.

It feels good to see Bobby in a light romantic film, he is just brilliant with his performances. Bobby did romantic films in the past like; ...AUR PYAAR HO GAYA, KAREEB, and DILLAGI. Those movies were really good, and I enjoyed a lot watching those, Bobby was Superb in those. I don't know why those movies were not appreciated? it is just because critics cannot digest Bobby in romantic films. Well, who the hell cares about what the critics state? All I want to say is that I have never seen Bobby b/f in any film like this. I would say that Akshay Kumar could not deliver the performances in 'BARSAAT' which Bobby has. Bobby was meant to do 'BARSAAT'.

The story, screen-play of the movie is interesting. The Director has shown the love of 2 women for a man. One is born, and grown-up in Foreign, while the other one is born, and grown-up in India. The culture, traditions, and customs are different, but, the feelings for love are same. You will have to see the movie to find out who gets Bobby? either Bipasha, or Priyanka, obviously one has to sacrifice.

Songs are great, nice, melodious, sweet-sounding, and already caught the attention of audience from the very first day.

I have seen Suneel Darshan's previous films, but his direction in this film is awesome. It won't be wrong to state that this is Suneel Darshan's best direction to date.

Bobby is just simply brilliant with his acting, vocals, dressing, and looks. It seems that Bobby was meant to do 'BARSAAT'. He performs like a seasoned performer and delivers a knockout performance. In fact, it won't be wrong to state that this is amongst Bobby's best performance to date after 'BARDAASHT'.

Priyanka is surprise package in the film, she impresses with her performances. This film breaks her modern image. She looks pretty, nice, and beautiful in Salwaar Kameez.

Bipasha is also good. She performs well.

On the whole, 'BARSAAT' is a family entertainer. It is a very beautiful made film with great feelings for love. It is something to watch. It has all; Drama, Comedy, Emotions, Nice Songs, Romance, and Outstanding performances by Actors.

Go, and Watch, u will enjoy it, don't believe what the critics state, remember SEEING IS BELIEVING, You won't be disappointed.

Allah Haafiz. Zeeshan Kazi - A BOBBY DEOL DIE HARD FAN.

Barsaat review :

Bobby Deol must be the only actor to have two Barsaats in his resumè - the first one was his debut release in 1995 with Twinkle Khanna while this one, released ten years later, had two beauties - Bipasha Basu and Priyanka Chopra - cast opposite him.

Written, produced and directed by Suneel Darshan, Barsaat was an unusual love triangle where Bobby falls in love with the richie rich NRI Bipasha Basu even though he has a wifey (Priyanka) secretly tucked away in India. He visits India to seek divorce from her, wifey refuses, Bobby now falls for wifey. The triangle thickens...

Two things stand out in the otherwise average film : One is some melodious tunes composed by Nadeem Shravan specially the title song and the second and most important is Bipasha looking absolutely hot and sexy in each and every frame she appears in. Truly, it is Bipasha who makes Barsaat bearable to a significant extent.

I had seen the film at Dadar's Plaza Cinema with a huge hoarding of the rain drenched leads at the entrance. It was actually raining that day and I came out humming the song "Barsaat Ke din aaye.."

Regards, Sumeet Nadkarni.

They are both women.

Bipasha and Priyanka at their prime. Wow.

Bobby Deol's character is perhaps the most poorly written male character of all time.

Nothing makes sense and he lacks conviction.

The stale emotionless performance by non actor Bobby Deol only serves to make matters worse. No charisma whatsoever.

Plot is stupid.

Young, rich, fit, beautiful women don't chase poor mediocre men like Bobby Deol (wasn't he working as a mechanic?) around the city and get them their dream job designing cars at BMW.

An indian working America has a near dime wife they never communicate with and forgot about back home? Yeah right.

Fact is this financially poor guy, who is utterly devoid of any charm or personality whatsoever, could manage to land one of these women, let alone both, is completely unbelievable. And they're throwing themselves at him throughout the movie for no apparent reason besides his existence?

Music is decent, didn't fast forward through any songs.
