GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

aayushshah why why why "Dippanita Sharma"?! she cant act, she's not pleasant on the eyes, bad dialogue delivery, bad make up, its uncomfortable just watching her and you give her the commanding role!? WTF? story line isn't intriguing or gripping at all, the Cons are poorly and unconvincingly constructed and Ranveer singh (the second best actor in the movie known for his dialogue delivering ability) has the least amount of lines to speak!The end is hurried and doesn't make much sense. why do the girls especially Dippanita Sharma's character help him find love, when she was humiliated and almost fired ( for which had she decided to con him in the first place) get no redemption.Band baaja baraat was such a well thought of film in terms of story line and screenplay, its hard to believe this comes from the same director and writers.The only two highlights of the film are Anushka sharma (who's grown as an actor and it shows) she plays her character brilliantly and delivers her acting skills very well. Her bikini sequence steals the whole show and is the biggest highlight of the movie. The Second is "Parineeta Chopra" a newcomer who plays a delhiite. Her acting and screen presence were commendable, someone to look out for in the future.

romatoto The surprise blockbuster team of band baaja baarat have come for a very different sub genre in romancefirst half is entertaining slowing grooving into the story, but second half does not have enough justification Anushka sharma is sizzling as ever.all the other 3 girls did well. ranveer singh gave his bestthere are many predictable scenes throughout the movie especially later half.not the best music as band baaja baarat on the whole a decent movie with simple story line and worth watch...

SonalSudeep Again a Yash Raj movie,again a Maneesh Sharma film,again Anushka-Ranveer pairing that worked wonders in Band Baaja Baraat,but on the contrary Ladies vs Ricky Bahl never has that element of magic that BBB had.Of course u can blame Anushka coming to the fore in the second half,but the movie actually subsides in the second half itself not only because of some boring sequences but the predictability the movie creates as we rush through second half.First half is fun-filled specially because of the presence of Parineeti Chopra (Priyanka's cousin) and it never ever seems its her first movie.Ranveer as always is impressive not only in conning girls but flaunting his body with those 8 pack abs.Dipannita and Aditi have done commendable jobs.Anushka(especially in the black bikini)looks hot.Songs are OK.Overall the movie could have been better in the second half.Go for it only if you are an ardent fan of Ranveer.I go with 6/10

namashi_1 'Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl' is A Decent Entertainer, that works in parts. The First-Hour is quite entertaining, but the Second-Hour isn't really arresting. However, it's a film that will pass your time. 'Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl' Synopsis: A charismatic fraudster who cons ladies for a living finally meets his match when a bunch of his conquests form an equally crafty plan.'Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl' has a winning first-hour, which is full of entertaining moments. The 1st chapter is engaging, the 2nd chapter is fair, while the 3rd chapter is quick yet effective. The problem with this film, starts in it's second-hour. The entire thing of getting back to the Con-Man to teach him a lesson, is not that entertaining. Even the climax for that matter, looks superficial. Aditya Chopra's Story is watchable, but not memorable. Maneesh Sharma's Direction is good. Cinematography & Editing are passable. Music by Salim-Sulaiman, is energetic. Performance-Wise: Ranveer Singh is impressive. The actor performs his part with confidence from start to end. Anushka Sharma enters the scene late, yet does a fair job. Parineeti Chopra makes a terrific debut. Her comic-timing is just perfect. Dipannita Sharma is appropriate. Aditi Sharma is nicely restrained. Others lend support. On the whole, 'Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl' is, at best, a time-pass fare, that works in parts.
