What do you remember of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani pre-release promotions? Good looking star-cast, youthful feeling
and of course loads of dancing. And that is what you get from the movie; YJHD
is a ‘simple love story’ with but obvious complications ,cute and funny dialogues and a predictable
story line.
In fact the
first half gives you nothing new but the all too expected fun-at-the-trip
developments. The second half is slower in pace with the actualization of your
predictions. But if you love typical Hindi movies you do not complain. The
reason for that is the cinematography which is absolutely pretty ,no really it is ,the locations and the way
every action is captured holds a feel good appeal like glossy magazine shots
,except for the ,too many, ‘long glances’ exchanged between the two protagonists with
special zooming in on Ranbir’s handsome face ,so much so that I can win all the
‘guess-who’ incomplete celeb photograph competitions with the Kapoor boy in it!
As far as
the acting is concerned, Ranbir, in his hippie character gives a great performance
with ‘Wake up Sid’ like epiphanies, Deepika Padukone is good too with her
transition from studious to a life enjoying girl. Kalki in a different role
from her previous movies is lovable and fun. Whereas as far as Aditya Roy
Kapur is concerned ,seems like he does his Aashqui character right as in this
similar role, he does a convincing portrayal.
The songs
are peppy and contagious and act only as accessories to add to the entertainment
factor in the movie, with their placement being unnecessary, but again no-one’s
complaining, Pritam’s music is good!
Ye Jawaani
Hai Deewani is not your best, out of the box movie but it sure isn’t going to
force you to make you tear your hair out either.
Watch it
for
1)
Cinematography 2) Songs and dancing 3) the trouble-free entertainment with a feeling where you are sure of the
happy ending!
Rating-3
