Raat Gayi, Baat Gayi?

So, I love the cast & they perform well. Saurabh Shukla has tested his hands in directing & I feel he has achieved what he yearned with a fine adult comedy which sometimes, gasps for fresh breath.

The plot revolves around two 3 families & how a party they spend the other night together in, turns out to play havoc in their lives. Rajat Kapoor is suave as always as the husband who has experiences a short- span memory lapse. It advances as he goes on to find out what happened that night to finally end up in a comedic situation with his friends. Certain surprise elements barge in to give a humorous effect. Lots of vulgar references which did lack punch but give you a light-hearted time.

Mostly, it talks about adultery & how one should see it/handle it.

BOTTOM LINE: Overall, a fine drama which does stick to the emotional side towards the end. Recommended for a one-time watch due to the wits, slapstick & real-life relations.

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? NO

Profanity/Sex: No | Mouth-Kiss/Vulgarity/Nudity: Mediocre | Violence/Gore: No | Smoking/Alcohol: Strong | Drugs: No | Porn: Very Mild

When you look forward to watch the next outing from the trio namely Rajat, Vinay and Ranvir - the expectations are nothing short of "Bheja Fry" to least to speak. Especially if you give it a topping of Saurabh Shukla helming the affairs, there is absolutely no room for going astray.

The good news is the product works and the sad news is only in parts.

The narrative is unique and keeps the audience intrigued however there seem to be lapses at various junctures.

Performance wise the entire star-cast have delivered a spectacular performance.

The beard doesn't deliver the impact of the usual "suave" Rajat look. He seems to be straight out of "Siddharth" sets.

Vinay role as a bosom buddy was okay'ish. Required more depth. In addition, he "fit" looks he sported for "Straight" seems to be waning and it shows.

Ranvir hardly contributed with his jibes about "Austraaliaa".

Neha Dhupia seems to have developed a penchant for the character since "Ek Chaalis Ki Last Local". Ecdysis warranted asap.

Dilip Tahil character was over-emphasised. The "Jack out of the box" was as big as a bus.

Irawati, Dilip Tahil, Anu Menon, Navneet Nishan - all did a great job there.

Verdict: Not a bad watch if aired on telly.

Loved this movie and thought it would get more viewings with a better name. Guess the promoters/producers thought this cheap name would bring in more front benchers. Rajat why the beard??? Neha stop going over the top in slutty roles! Ranvir what were you doing in this movie?? Makrand- wanted to see more of you? Sudhir Mishra- nice look. Naveen - thank you for playing your age and not over-acting. Dalip - got more footage than you should have. anu/ Iravat - well played. Music was nicely complimenting the movie

Overall an excellent growing up for Bollywood. Keep it up Rajat, nice follow-up to Bheja Fry. Do not succumb to mainstream cinema please...

Raat Gayi Baat Gayi? Means is meaning gone if night is gone? Not really, if you are a married man, you were with a bombshell in a cocktail party last night and can't remember a thing in the morning. So you gotta wake- up and find what happened last night? This movie is a mini satire on high class society, their two faces; one for public and one for personal life. Directed by Saurabh Shukla and played by few good known names like Rajat Kapoor, Vinay Pathak and Dilip Tahil, the movie never looses you in its less than two hours length. At the end, bad characters come good and good as bad ones and you understand that everything is not what it seems, every chatter box is not a fool, every intellectual person is not honest, independence does not mean not listening to your mind and anything can happen to anyone in this funny life. Enjoy this small satire for its honest characterization and lovely messages to keep your love intact.

This movie begins at a party with a married man named "Rahul Kapoor" (Rajat Kapoor) flirting with a beautiful woman named "Sophia" (Neha Dhupia) and then waking up the next day with his wife "Mitali Kapoor" (Iravati Harshe) being extremely upset with him and subsequently taking their daughter and leaving. To make matters even more complicated, Rahul drank too much that night and doesn't remember whether he slept with Sophia or not. So to sort everything out and get some idea why his wife is angry he decides to ask his friends who were at the party about what exactly happened. Unfortunately, the first person he asks is his friend "Amit" (Vinay Pathak) who is also having domestic problems with his own wife due to certain issues at that same party and he is equally bewildered and confused. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I was slightly disappointed in this film because it had a certain amount of potential which was never fully realized. To be sure, the actors were competent enough but the humor wasn't nearly as keen as it could have been. Even so, this certainly wasn't a bad movie by any means and because of that I have rated it accordingly. Average.
