Bajatey Raho

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.

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.

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.

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

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

When you have ensembled cast of Dolly Ahluwalia , Ranvir Shorey and Vinay Pathak , your joy will know no bound and the excitement will double. Unfortunately , Bajatey Raho comes as a plain simple decent revenge heist which could be watched only once for its strong storyline and decent performances.

In order to repay 15 cr to the debtors , group of cons goes one step further to con a powerful business man to avenge their family's misfortune.

From the director of Dasvidaniya and Challo Dilli , Shashant Shah chooses a rare subject which has universal appeal but average direction and below par performance takes the film to no where. The screenplay and story will hold your attention nevertheless. Few scenes will tickle your funny bones but the rest of the film is lame. Songs are terrible and inclusion of the songs in the film just makes it worst. Dolly Ahluwali and Ravi Kishan are the soul of the movie. Tushar Kapoor as usual is wooden. Surprisingly , much was expected from Vinay Pathak and Ranvir Shorey but both of them gave an average performances.

Bajatey Raho had potential to become non-stop comic caper but weak direction drags down the film to a decent watch . Average 2.5/5
