Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

namashi_1 Back To The Future, anyone? Remember how magically that Cult-Classic took us & its lovable protagonist ahead & back in time, only to be delighted with pure cinematic thrill! Director Nitya Mehra makes a similar, albeit limping effort with her well-budgeted feature 'Baar Baar Dekho'. While interesting in parts & made with honesty, the Writing & the Pace are erratic. Lets Continue....'Baar Baar Dekho is about A maths professor (Sidharth Malhotra), who is taken back & ahead of time, when he backs out of marrying his lady-love (Katrina Kaif). What follows is flashbacks & flash forwards! 'Baar Baar Dekho' begins with genuine promise. The opening credits, which show us how the man & woman met, right from kids to now, is beautifully done. And the pace is decently maintained for sometime, but post-interval, the pace drops. What starts off as an interesting time-travel love-story, suddenly turns into a melodramatic tale, with lesser feeling. And by the time we reach its culmination, we're tired. The Protagonist isn't too bright to begin with, despite being a maths professor, who worships Vedic Mathematics. It literally takes him decades (although days for him), to realize the value of life & his woman. Though at first his unsure nature & his amusement to the unexpected time-travel happenings appear believable, but later-on, he just doesn't seem to get the point & loses our support. Its a rather under-written role, that demanded more depth. Nitya Mehra's Screenplay is a mixed bag. At times, interesting, and at times, dull. The Writing doesn't make solid use of its fascinating concept & that's disheartening. There was genuine potential here. Mehra's Direction is good, though. She knows the craft of filmmaking well, but as a Writer, she lets herself & us, down after a point. Ravi K. Chandran's Cinematography is marvelous. Amitabh Shukla's Editing needed to be sharper. The film is a bit too long at a 140-minutes! Music by Various Artists is fantastic & the high-point of the enterprise. Art & Costume Design are well-done, while the Make-Up appears fake.Performance-Wise: Sidharth Malhotra is limited to a few expressions & hence his performance here, is nothing extraordinary. Though very sincere, the actor stumbles in some portions, especially when he ages old. Katrina Kaif looks gorgeous as always & is passable in her part. Rajit Kapur, Ram Kapoor, Sarika & The Wonderful Sayani Gupta, are given too little to do.On the whole, 'Baar Baar Dekho' is thoroughly watchable, but that's about it.

chiragsharma-14930 If you had a chance to go back into the past and 'fix' it, what would you do? Turn joyous cartwheels of course, because hindsight gives us wisdom that we didn't have when we were in the moment. Maths genius Jay Varma (Sidharth Malhotra) has the gift of time travel, that miraculous thing which he can use to make things right between him and lady love Diya Kapoor (Katrina Kaif). What can go wrong with that most intriguing premise, even if we've seen similar stuff in About Time and The Time Traveller's Wife? Quite a lot, actually, as it turns out: Baar Baar Dekho doesn't have anything that can entice us into repeat viewings, let alone a single one, because the execution is flat and banal. The problems are apparent right from the beginning when the characters start taking shape: they remain fuzzy, especially the character whose actions set everything in motion. Sure, a potential groom can start developing cold feet when the rituals of the big fat Punjabi wedding, fronted by a big fat Punjabi papa, threaten to overwhelm. But Jay is such a drip that you are never convinced about anything he does, whether it is a feeble declaration of loveor a stab at teaching moony-eyed female students. The life lessons that Baar Baar Dekho holds out is a) there's more to life than differential equations (we know), b) the past and the future can only be accessed through the present (we know ) and c) that Katrina Kaif may have the most amazingly mobile waist in the universe but her emoting ambitions are strictly futuristic (this we get to know all over again, sigh).

narulalakshya21 Once again Katrina shows that she doesn't know acting. People felt into the movie makers' trap by seeing the Kala Chasma song. A very bad movie, not well directed and obviously not well copied. Don't watch this movie as long as no one's paying something you to watch.On the whole, this movie is not decent enough to watch the first time. Don't waste your money people.And also for more decent reviews, check out the Indian based websites like flickstree.com.I have now started finding better movies through www.flickstree.com.
