Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Avinash Patalay "What's Your Rashee" would make you wonder if he is the same director who wielded the megaphone in "Lagaan", "Swades" & "Jodha Akbar". It wouldn't be no rocket-science to state that the starting point namely the book "Kimball Revenswood" by Madhu Rye is the culprit. I would also add another state that translating a book to screen requires a different sensibilities altogether and this was sadly big time missing. And shouldering Priyanka Chopra to breathe life into all the 12- characters was indeed an herculean task. Don't get me wrong but she put an effort into each character more than humanly possible. But it gets inanely boring after a few characters pass by. If twelve different popular actress'es were chosen instead, it would have taken the movie to a different level altogether. Harman Baweja is imprisoned into poor man's Hritik caricature. The length of the movie adds to the woes, especially after 7th Priyanka, the audience wishes to fast-forward to the climax to find who becomes the better-half of Mr. Yogesh Patel.The comedy track was mundane and hardly evokes mirth. Music by Sohail Sen is different but misses the bulls-eye. Good luck next time ASHu. You are a phoenix and will surely rise from ASHes.PS: My mind is still afresh with the spectacular performance of Late Mohan Gokhale who breathed life into Mr. Y I Patel in "Mr. Yogi" on good old Doordarshan which has had similar storyline.
zain raza This movie was excellent! First of all, it didn't seem like an Ashutosh Gowarikar film at all, until you see the similar casting from his previous movies. The asset of the film is Priyanka Chopra, she enacts all the twelve roles she has brilliantly. The script was nice and was handled by Ashutosh maturely. Harman acted well, but he under played in a few parts. Darshan Jariwala acts really well and shows that he is one of bollywood's finest actors. The music was okay, but it felt as if Sohail Sen was trying to imitate AR Rehman without any success. The song "Koi jaane na" was nice.Ratings.ACTING 9/10.DIALOGUES 10/10.SCREENPLAY 8/10.MUSIC 8/10.PRIYANKA CHOPRA 20/10.HARMAN BAWEJA 9/10.CINEMATOGRAPHY 9/10.DIRECTION 10/10.Overall, the film was a treat to watch, the 3 hours 20 minutes never get boring! You would want it to keep going and going and see PRIYANKA and ASHUTOSH's magic work!!! If you like emotional, funny, and some meaningful cinema, this one is for you!! Its not one of those though provoking ones, but it makes you feel good!
Vish007 Whats your Raashee...Great concept, touching songs, brilliant Priyanka and honest Harman. I would say the movie is not that bad as some have felt. The music by Sohail Sen lacks the "Rehman" touch but still its soothing. "Bikhri Bikhri" and "Sau Janam" are brilliant compositions and so is "Su Che". "Jao na" is a simple song yet so hummable. Rest also are good like "Salone Kya", title song and "Pyaari Pyaari". My thumbs up for Music.The point where the movie lacked was the way Harman's dilemma was shown on screen. It could have been handled better. His acting though is much much better than Love story 2050 and he looks cute. Priyanka is awesome and mesmerizing. No one in the Industry could have done better than her. So another Thumbs up for performance.Unfortunately the climax is disappointing to say the least. The comedy scenes are not well put up. The movie could have been a little shorter and the sub-plots are not effective. Ashutosh has a knack of giving social messages in his movie and this was no exception. Women independence, family values have been depicted well. I would say the movie could have been made in two parts as WYR-1 AND WYR-2 with much better effect and that could have left audiences wanting for more. Thumbs down for editing and Direction. :(All and all its a sweet movie worth a try. Don't even dare to miss this one if you are a Priyanka fan. I would say go for it.
joe It is time someone put a stop to this trashing of a perfectly fine film that has been crafted with much thought and creativity. Is the movie very long? Yes, it is and SO WHAT? This may not be Oscar material, but Priyanka shines in every single role she dons, and Harman is a neat foil to her with his gentlemanly persona and apt acting (he too has come under very unfair criticism, our "superstars" would have looked out of place as Yogesh Patel).The music is superlative, since the movie was to take 13 songs, Sohail Sen has made a real effort to make each not just melodious but also very contextual. "Bikhri Bikhri" is superbly composed, its inspiring lyrics (Javed Akhtar) have been ably handled. The title song, a Jazz number, with which the movie opens is mesmerizing. "Aaja Lehraate" has been on the music channels and gives Harman enough scope to showcase his dancing skills.Now the story, it is not meant to be taken too literally and too seriously, although almost every character that Priyanka plays has something to say about the society we live in; nothing too preachy but yes it does make you think a bit. The most touching are the Priyanka who admits to having had an affair and the Priyanka who is tutored to act Western but is too clumsy to pass as such. The comedy does not have the people falling off their chairs in desperate throes of howling laughter, but it certainly puts a smile on most faces.Gowarikar has done a good job, instead of asking for edits I would say he should have made WYR I and WYR II, each two-hour long, both released within a space of 3 months. At least people would have stopped complaining about its length! Let us for once appreciate something that dares to be different and is yet entertaining.
