Babli Bouncer

Babli Bouncer is one of the most engaging and entertaining movie of this year. Must watch. It was a light hearted movie and so i liked it. Tammana's acting was great and so was her comedic timing. The storyline could have been better but since it was a feel good movie so story being a bit off works.

Kukku is so cute in this movie, all the other characters have also done a superb job in making an entertaining movie. It's a unique story, must watch for Tamannah' performance. I Just loved watching the movie. After so long to time i have seen something like this... kudos to the whole team.. amazing movie.. everyone should watch this.

Babli Bouncer (2022) : Movie Review -

Madhur Bhandarkar was over a long time ago. He made Chandni Bar and Page 3, and those are the only films I found good. He just kept using the script again and again in his next films, which made me lose faith in him. The graph kept going down with each film, and with Babli Bouncer, it reached the bottom. What was that? Bhadarkar Sir, seriously? I mean, losing touch is okay, it can be termed as human error, but what a big thrash have you made this time? Is this what you call a Comedy, family entertainer, or whatever you say? Babli Bouncer has left me in such a situation that I feel like I should have hired some psychological bouncers to protect my brain before watching it. Hotstar had many craps this year, but this was too much.

Babli Bouncer is a story of a young and beautiful village girl, Babli (Tamannah Bhatia). She is 10th-failed and is interested in body building. Without any reason, she falls in love with an educated boy from Delhi, Viraj (Abhishek Bajaj). The affair begins from her side, and she moves to Delhi to become a female bouncer at a night club. The one-sided affair turns into a disaster episode and Babli learns a lot about life. She then decides to stand on her own while continuing her bouncer's job, and the rest of the story has nothing interesting left for you.

Madhur Bhandarkar has always made realistic films, and that's why I loved them in the first place. For the first time in his career, he tried to do something different with Babli Bouncer (a comedy), but sadly, he failed miserably. The script is very dull and has nothing in store for any kind of audience, be it the masses or classes. Babli Bouncer tries many things at the same time but fails to find the right balance between multiple aspects of comedy. This topic was actually so good, but the messy screenplay and outdated vision snatched away all the scope from it. This female bouncer thing was so new for Bollywood, but what have we made out of it? Babli Bouncer? That's totally unfair. That's not what the topic deserves. To hell with the writers. I don't really see any logic behind using this romance angle, and most importantly, how Babli, as an aspiring girl, looks at it. Amit Joshi, Aradhana Debnath and Madhur Bhandarkar's trio lock themselves into a box of limits, they just don't step out of that. Moreover, everything that comes out of the box is totally useless.

Talking about the star cast, Tamannah nails the Haryanvi accent. Well, that's new for her, but what about acting? That's below par for sure. She doesn't really look like a bouncer in some scenes. She is too cute and fair to play a gaav ki chhori. And how irritating does she look with those Dakars and pathetic dialogues? Abhishek Bajaj's handsome looks will have you for a while, and his chemistry with Tamannaah is beautiful, but soon you'll notice that he doesn't really suit the beauty of Bhatia. A talented actor like Saurabh Shukla is totally wasted here. And I don't really know what Ashwini Kalsekar was doing there in a 2-minute scene. Sahil Vaid, who has given good performances in Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, Badrinath Ki Dulhania, and Dil Bechara, drops himself to a lower standard. The rest of the cast also hasn't done anything else besides terrible acting.

The technical aspects of Babli Bouncer will be overlooked because of the small screen experience. Thank God, it wasn't released on the big screen, otherwise all those B-grade frames would have spoiled it more. Music is too dull to be mentioned here and is a waste of two more lines. The dialogues have a certain, intentional northern flavour, which looks so downmarket sometimes. Who writes such cheap dialogues in 2022, and that too for an OTT film? Babli Bouncer is a motive-less film, and one of the worst parts of it is its climax. It hardly makes you laugh, but it will give you that chance to laugh at the director after the film is over. Such off-track stories should be banned soon. Madhur Bhandarkar should stick to his basics and not try something he can't make. Babli Bouncer couldn't have gotten anywhere else with this story, but what about direction, execution, and crafting? Did Bhandarkar approve it all with blind eyes? Anyway, try and skip Babli Bouncer, unless you want to see the gorgeous Tamannaah Bhatia. But that's available on YouTube for free in a short time, right? Then why waste your 2 hours on something that is not even worth 2 minutes of your life?

RATING - 3/10*

Plot of the Movie

Babli, girl from the village of a Delhi, gets a job as a lady bouncer in one of the clubs of Delhi. Post that, she realizes her true meaning of life from there the story takes a turn.

Inertia of the society towards women empowerment, notion of the women been confined to kitchen walls. Are these really need to be addressed again and again.

Story penned by Amit Joshi, Aradhana Debnath and Madhur Bhandarkar, really need to figure out. They should realize that although atrocity happens but its not the topic to be represented again and again on the screen.

Tamannaah had chosen a character which is different from her commercial kind of characters. She able to justify the character with the village accent.

The situation portraying babli's mugglesness with delhi culture blended with cuteness & immatureness was beautifully extracted from her but still the movie fails in its story.

One side love failure making realize the women that she is not worthy enough, then a journey of her hardships to prove her mettle. All these are outdated.

Overall, a forgettable one-time watchable movie.

The plot for Babli Bouncer was on point. A village of male bodybuilders all working in the city, and now the village supplies a local female bully as the bouncer as well. It could have elements of comedy, antagonist too big for the protagonist to go against, societal no-nos to overcome, and yet have a social message at the very end.

But even with so much right elements to play, the director lost track of where the movie should head. The writing is really poor, dialogues almost cringe-worthy, and Tammanh's acting potential all gone to waste. I could rate the movie lower, but the enjoyed the premise during the first-half. But the half-baked romance, instable friendship, weak protagonist motivation, and the lack of any imminent threat left during the second half was not enough to leave a mark.

Babli Bouncer is one of the best Hindi film of Tamannah Bhatia until now in terms of her performance. As far as story is concerned the plot is good but is not going anywhere which means we didn't see any effective conclusion of what is happening in the film. We as audience miss Madhur Bhandarkar kind of cinema in it. The dark side of the society and how the character comes out positively from it. Movie also lacks good music and songs which should be there in such kind of movie to catch the attention of the audience. Its a one time watch you can enjoy with your family and friends. You will get entertainment.
