Ramaiya Vastavaiya

The promos and the very beginning of the film itself reflects the predictability of the film which is the only negative point I saw in this film. "Ramaiya Vastavaiya" (taken from the song of Raj Kapoor's Shree 420) , as the title, is refreshing and feels like a fresh breath of air filled with hilarious, comical, and romantic moments which hold you to your seats despite the predictability of the story where we have a caring brother, sister, and a lover who needs to prove his love. The setting and the story feels like "Maine Pyar Kiya" meets "Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya" but skipping the usual typecast villains of "Maine Pyar Kiya" or profanity of "Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya." You'll understand what I'm trying to say if you have seen those movies.

The film at times also succeeds as a slapstick comedy which very few Hindi movies dare to venture. There are villains but they are again normal people who help to make the movie hilarious. Performance wise, the new pair Girish Kumar and Shruti Hassan makes a marvelous performance. So can be said of Sonu Sood and Vinod Khanna, who appear in important roles. The music is good and the photography refreshing. So the biggest success of this film directed by Prabhu Deva is the sheer entertainment it provides despite the often predictability of the story.

Rating: 2 stars out of 4

A remake of the Telugu Hit Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana, 'Ramaiya Vastavaiya', Directed by Prabhudheva, is A Routine Rom-Com! Though fairly entertaining, it's very predictable & clichéd.

'Ramaiya Vastavaiya' Synopsis: Ram falls in love with Sona, who lives on the fields of Punjab. He follows her to her farm, where her elder brother challenges him to produce more seed on their fields. If he wins, he will be allowed to marry her.

'Ramaiya Vastavaiya' revisits romance, but its got its share of humor & emotional sequences as well. The Love-Story, as mentioned before, is very predictable & clichéd. The viewer can foresee the entire film from the very beginning.

In terms of plus points, the film is fairly entertaining, especially in the second-hour, which is crisp. Shiraz Ahmed's Adapted Screenplay offers no novelty, but arrests the viewer's attention in the second-hour. Prabhudheva's Direction is well-done. Cinematography is excellent. Editing is fair. Music by Sachin-Jigar is superb.

Performance-Wise: Girish Taurani makes a confident debut. He acts ably, but goes over the top in comedic moments. Shruti Hassan looks gorgeous & delivers a restrained performance. Sonu Sood adds depth to the character he plays. He stands out. Vinod Khanna is efficient, as always. Randhir Kapoor hams. Poonam Dhillion is alright. Nasser & Zakhir Hussain are adequate. Satish Shah is wasted. Paresh Ganatra & Mushtaq Khan are funny. Jacqueline Fernandez sizzles in an item number.

On the whole, 'Ramaiya Vastavaiya' has its moments.

Ramaiya Vastavaiya is a clichéd romcom rich guy falls for poor girl etc but add loads of entertainment, laughter,and emotions.A good watch!RamaiyaVastavaiya acting wise Grish Kumar impresses in his debut,job well done. Shruti Hassan excels also.But Sonu Sood steals the show. Special mention to Paresh Ganatra he steals the show with his comic antics when he is on the screen. One needs to seem more in films.RamaiyaVastavaiya is a remake of Telugu Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana which was also made by Dir Prabhu Deva and its apt remake.Good Job Prabhu.Overall if you want to enjoy a clean entertainer that provides laughter,emotions etc watch RamaiyaVastavaiya if you don't mind clichés. A must watch for people who love romcoms and small town love stories.

By garbage I mean the cliché here. If you've watched Maine Pyar Kiya, do not bother to watch this remake of a remake riddled with same old formulaic sequences, disastrous cast performance & stupid characters.

Every time I see a newcomer who is over-smart & over-acting at the same time, I assume he/she is some producer/director's son/daughter. In here, Girish Kumar is who I am talking about: his demeanor is extremely idiotic with foolish expressions & punch lines. He is aptly named by his co-star as "monkey." Speaking of the co-star, I still cannot believe she's Kamal Hassan's daughter. She acts foolhardy but is better than her co-star. Supporting cast induce humor but logic doesn't even touch their portrayal.

Sonu Sood is good but since the plot is hackneyed enough to spoil the experience, he doesn't help much. Music is of course lively, but it doesn't save the experience as well. The melodrama towards the end is unbearable. Poor editing, fine screenplay & mediocre use of humor forces me to rate this let-down film a merciless 3.7/10.

It defines how some people can ridicule the genre the film is based on. Is it too much that we ask for something new?

BOTTOM LINE: A huge disappointment from the guy who gave us "Wanted." Not recommended for sensible people! Others can go have a laugh!

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES
