i loved the movie. i don't go with the ratings given by people.the movie is a soft hearten
comedy along with few ups and downs of life. that's what we expect from,this kind of a entertainer.
YOU'LL NOT GET BORED IF YOU LOVE TO WATCH MOVIES ON SOCIAL MOVIES.
and yes as per the requirements of the IMDb website i have to fill at least ten lines to compile the standards.
and i don't know what to say more. but yes the role play by the actors is really good enough to be watched.
specially the role played by Mr. Ravi kishan was great.

Throughout the movie, you get a feeling that you have watched that sequence, that character, that plot point and heard that joke, that song, that theme before. Well, it's not deja vu. Bajatey Raho rests upon clichéd plot, borrowed characters, irritatingly predictable climax & amateur writing.
The cast has been a juxtaposition of characters as well as the actors who portrayed them in films like Khosla Ka Ghosla. And so is the plot. The same old revenge tale to induce little melodrama to do what to the viewers? Well, I can't figure that clause out. Neither could I interpret why they HAD to bring in romance (with songs, yes) & SMS jokes (Maybe to lure lovebirds & youngsters; of course we all know what the two-girl item song was intended for). It's all so amateur from the maker(s) who gave us Dasvidaniya. Challo Dilli was a disappointment, as well.
I respect the performances by Dolly Ahluwalia, Ravi Kishan, Ranvir Shorey & Vinay Phatak. But I, somehow, got bored by the narration. My mother seconds that. Since, I have followed every other movie by every other actor of this flick, it left me neutral. 3.9/10!
"Gone there, seen that!" is the apt phrase that comes to my mind now. Although, it has its moments.
BOTTOM LINE: For people who haven't watched the movies that listed & are socially inept can go for it and have some laughs on borrowed humor, but for avid cinema-holics, this is not recommended.
Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

Shashant A Shah's 'Bajatey Raho' is a passable revenge-comedy, that has its share of moments. Even the performances, are noteworthy!
'Bajatey Raho' Synopsis: Surviving family members and friends of a man who was conned by the cunning businessman Sabbarwahl string together a series of their own cons in an attempt to bring him down.
'Bajatey Raho' has a slow-paced first-hour, but an entertaining second. The characters are decently written & the sequences, some of them, are worth appreciating. Zafar A Khan's Screenplay begins on a slow-note, but gathers momentum in the latter-hour. Shashant A Shah's Direction is ordinary. Cinematography, Editing & Costume Design, are alright.
Performance-Wise: Ravi Kishan is in terrific form. He plays the cunning businessman with energy & conviction. Dolly Ahluwalia is natural to the core. Ranvir Shorey & Vinay Pathak are effortless, as always. Tusshar does not deliver this time. Vishakha Singh looks charming & delivers a truly commendable performance. Brijendra Kala is very sincere.
On the whole, 'Bajatey Raho' offers fair entertainment.

First of all, the acting was atrocious. The actors seemed like they were reading their lines off a cue card for the first time, displaying minimal emotion and chemistry. It was painful to watch as they struggled through poorly written dialogue, failing to convey any real depth or authenticity to their characters.
Story line is weak, Villain looks more like a comic characters and hero has zero acting with plastic acting skills.
Lead actress is not at all attractive and has that appeal t match the seductress appeal required in a good movie but as i said abv e she and her skill compliments the poor villain
In short TIME and MONEY watse.

Bajatey Raho promises so much and delivers so less. If you have actors like Vinay Pathak, Ranbir Shorey, Dolly Ahluwalia, Ravi Kishen in your movie, a simple story can transform into a power packed entertainment. Alas, the director made a point to assemble the aforesaid cast but choose a story which lacked originality.
The movie seemed to be a tribute to Khosla ka Ghosla more than once. Then again, tributes are so tricky. The cons performed didn't excite much and the ending was so very predictable. Shashant Shah after directing classics like Dasvidaniya and Chalo Dilli with the sheer brilliance of one single actor named Vinay Pathak, forgot to utilize him for majority of the film. Tushar Kapoor has let down the audience on more than one instance and this movie is another example of the same. Ranbir Shorey and Dolly Ahluwalia showed some sparks in the limited opportunities they were presented with.
Then again, if you want to watch this movie at all, watch it for Ravi Kishen. Just like wine, he is getting better with age. He demonstrated such a flawless spectrum of emotions that you can overlook the dullness of the story itself or at least in the parts he has acted in.
Moral : Watch this movie in case you have watched Khosla ka Ghosla only more than a dozen times and you are finally bored of the same.
