REVIEW: Band Baaja Baaraat (2)DANCING IN DILLI
When you have almost given up on being surprised by anything mainstream cinema throws up, and have no expectations from a film as boringly titled as Band Baaja Baaraat, you get an enjoyable romantic film.
Directed by newcomer Maneesh Sharma, the film has nothing novel in terms of plot, but the treatment is fresh and the film is suffused with a joie de vivre that is infectious.
REVIEW: Band Baaja BaaraatTHE WEDDING PLANNERS
The first half of debutant Maneesh Sharma's Band Baaja Baaraat is as good as anything one has seen at the movies this year. And even if the second falters, overall, it's still a refreshing watch for several reasons. Primarily because the filmmaker and screenplay-dialogue writer Habib Faisal (of Do Dooni Char fame) get the ambience, casting and pitch just right. It's a film about new India -- a young and confident youth whose world-view and attitudes have changed while Bollywood was busy churning out family melodramas seeped in outdated traditions.
