BAAR BAAR DEKHO - Movie Review

BAAR BAAR DEKHO is directed by Nitya Mehra, starring Katrina Kaif and Sidharth Malhotra. This drama romantic film is based around the concept of time travel, in which transitions are screened to forward the screenplay and give life another chance.

Positives:

I really enjoyed this concept in a Bollywood movie, seeing something new and not cliché. Yes, it is predictable as the movie moved on, but it was still a good idea to base a film on. Cinematography is a sight to see, well-crafted shots to try and exploit the surroundings in these visuals, the vision has been taken advantage of by the creative department.  The styling is attractive and that is a delight to watch. Performance level, both Sidharth Malhotra and Katrina Kaif put in a worthy performance and both looked great together on screen. They seem a good pairing and compliment each other with their performance. Sidharth Is given majority of the screen space and has portrayed a variety of emotions whilst Katrina Kaif is the pillar to the scenarios from the start till the end and even she manages to place a believable character act.

Negatives:

With the time travel concept, a few loopholes were evident and unclear answers, hence the lack of execution for such scenario. It was a distraction at times but begins to get better during the latter stages. Dialogues were average and not noteworthy or ones that will keep you recalling after the film. The idea behind the story lacks development, leaving phases in the film of dragging and stretched as well

Rating:

Overall I would rate this movie 3/5. It had an interesting concept but did not get executed strongly as it could have been but it still was a decent attempt to base a movie upon. Possibly the inexperience of such concept may just be the bearing pulling this film back rather than progress forwards. The actors do well in their roles to help initiate some urgency in the screenplay which at times seems to leave gaps in the script, creating a diversion of the focus from the film. But in the end, the idea will lure you in to watch it, the film portrays second chances, that’ll be the answer to the travels.
