Ramaiya Vastavaiya

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

Profanity: No | Vulgarity/Nudity: No | Sex: No | Violence/Gore: Strong | Alcohol/Smoking: No | Drugs: No

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.

Story is very simple. Nothing new in screenplay and in dialogues even. All emotional scenes fall very flat. Most of the comedy scenes are also fated like emotional ones. You will laugh in a few comedy scenes, i.e when Randhir Kapoor eats the chilli powder mix rice. His expression binds you to laugh. Every scene and climax is most predictable. Yeah, it is true that you can easily predict the climax of a love story but the way of approach towards climax makes audience engrossed but this movie fails in it. Metaphor of clay horse was not well established so when the lead actors feel the attachment towards it you won't. Movie reminds you always about Maine Pyar kiya but Maine Pyar kiya is gem. Performance wise nothing to shout about. Zakir Hussain surprises and makes you laugh with his performance. The fabulous part of this film is music by Sachin Jigar. Songs are composed, written, choreographed and shot very nicely. They suddenly picked up the film.

A good entertainer with a heart touching music. A feel good movie. But looks like highly inspired from Salman Khan's pyaar kiya toh darna kya 💖 Many things relate to it

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.
