Besharam Review: Sorry, Ranbir Kapoor!

Directed by Abhinav Kashyap and produced by Himanshu Mehra and Sanjeev Gupta, "Besharam" (see poster below) is a romantic action comedy movie that stars Ranbir Kapoor and Pallavi Sharda. It runs for 142 minutes and earned mixed reviews from critics after its release last October 2.

But never mind the critics. I usually don't trust them. I suspect they judge a film based on vested interests. However I am quite sorry for Ranbir because in this particularly moment I agree with their negative review of "Besharam". 

This film revolves around the love story between the charming good-natured orphan turned small-time thief Babli and the educated beauty Tara Sharma, played by RK and Pallavi (see below photo).

The movie’s funny moments, though, would come from Inspector Chulbul Chautala and his wife, head Constable Bulbul Chautala (by Rishi and Neetu Kapoors). They are a really good pair of comic actors!

The climax is a give-away; Babli fighting side-by-side with the officers of the law.

This film does not give justice to its stellar and talented cast. The storyline is plain, formulaic and predictable. The love story and romance between Babli and Tara was not developed.

Babli's mantra in the movie was "No yearning for respect, no fear of humiliation" (Na sammaan ka moh, na apmaan ka bhay).

However, in the end, the movie did not earn my respect but, still, Ranbir Kapoor must not fear humiliation (after all, his movie career would not be hurt by this lackluster film; we all fall down sometimes but what is more important is how we get up).

Do you agree with my "Besharam Review"? Please feel free to enter your comments. Thanks.
