“I am an independent woman”, these 5 words can be a nightmare for many men, especially in India. Whenever we hear these words from a girl, it causes perturbation in us, and it reaches to a whole new level if that girl is our girlfriend/wife. This whole thing came to my mind when I was reading a magazine and in that, a guy was bitching about his independent wife.

Let me get straight to the point for the people who don’t belong to India, we’ve been raised with such an attitude that an Indian woman is our slave and she’ll sacrifice anything, including her job, to make us happy. We can beat the shit out of our wives and they’ll not say anything.

And this gives a sense of pride to Indian men. Generally, we see this form of attitude in our parents where dad is the head of the family and he can do anything and our mom has to agree with that because she doesn’t have any choice.

When they grow up and try to get in the pants of their girlfriends/wives, who are working in big companies, and then suddenly hear such strange words from them, it naturally puts them off. As a repercussion of this, men feel like someone is hurting their pride and they feel assailable. It is even more obvious for those who consider Salman Khan as their God because he is known for beating his girlfriends and it is no surprise that he is still unmarried.

In this modern era, where women are defeating men in their own job domains, jealousy and insecurity are the natural factors among Indian men. Earlier, men used to fight among themselves for higher positions in their jobs but now they’ve to fight with women, too.

If you watch carefully, you’ll see two types of women in India walking the streets. First is the typical Indian woman who considers her husband as God and she don’t have anything to do other than watching those Saas Bahu T.V serials. She is your perfect home maker or a maid as you can say. You can burn her down and still, she’ll not say anything because she has no place to go.

Second is the independent woman of India who’s created a balance between her personal and professional life. She is confident, earns her own money and knows about flavored condoms just like Deepika Padukone in Bachna Ae Haseeno. She knows more about sex than a man and this gives complex to Indian men. Sushmita Sen and Pooja Bedi would be the prime examples of the Independent Indian women.

Yesterday, news came that an Engineer killed his wife just by beating her up. Incidents like this happen on a daily basis but they never come out. This is due to the lack of support for women in our society. Even the parents of the girls refuse to take them back to their home. With no place to go, she has to accept all the shit as a way of life.

And this is the place where being independent helps a lot. If something like this happens to you then you always have a choice to break the balls of your husband, burn him down, kick his ass or simply say “FUCK YOU, YOU SON OF A BITCH!” and leave.

One thing that I’ve noticed is that Indian men are always afraid to have independent girlfriends and I really don’t know why. If you ask me, having an independent girlfriend in this time is a cool thing. And if you want to know why then look at it this way, “She’ll earn her own money and you can always save your cash to buy more porn, condoms or petrol for your car. She’ll not ask you why you came late to home from office as she herself knows the stress of work and the best thing, you’ll not have to watch those SAAS BAHU SERIALS at home and you’ll enjoy your cricket matches.”

So, in order to wrap up this post, let me just say that if you are a first type of woman, the loser type, time has come to be independent and live a new life and if you are an Independent woman, you’re doing good but don’t get carried away with this phenomenon and become like those women, “I don’t need a man coz I’ve a dildo to satisfy myself”.

And if you are an Indian man who is afraid of independent women, time has come to wash your balls and really become a man, A Gentleman. But if you are of “I’ll beat up my wife” type and an avid reader of, “1000 ways to kill your wife”, by Salman Khan, then Go fuck yourself.

Do you have any other reasons to back up Independent women of India or do you want to say something on this article, then you can post it through the comment box below. I’ll reply to all of them and put some good ones in the post.

Having an affair with 3 hot girls in one life is just a dream of every guy which is impossible, but not for Ranbir Kapoor, who romances with 3 top beauties in the movie Bachna Ae Haseeno this week.

Bachna Ae Haseeno is about Raj Sharma (Ranbir Kapoor), who falls in love with 3 girls during his life cycle from 18 to 30. First, at the age of 18 in 1996, he meets Mahi (Minissha Lamba) in Switzerland, and like any other teenage guy, all he cares about girls, whom he calls “Maal” (read in Hindi).

Mahi is a girl from Amritsar who has seen DDLJ 17 times and is looking for his real life Raj (played by Shahrukh Khan in DDLJ). In short, Mahi is your girl next door looking for love but sadly, her parents are talking about her engagement. While Mahi is looking for a potential life partner in Raj, Raj on the other hand is trying to be a “Killer” in front of his friends.
Bachna Ae Haseeno

Then Raj meets his second love, Radhika played by Bipasha Basu, in 2002 in Mumbai. Now, Raj is a game developer in Microsoft and living a happy life with his “Live-In” girlfriend Radhika, who wants to make big as an actress.

If you don’t know what “Live-In” means then don’t worry, they tell that too in the movie. Just like with Mahi, Raj is also not serious about Radhika and the problem arises when Microsoft transfers him to Sydney. Rest you can see in the movie, I’ll not spoil the fun.

And now in Sydney in 2007, he meets Gayatri (Deepika Padukone), who is a taxi driver, shopkeeper and a B-school student. Gayatri is dissimilar from all the girls that Ranbir knows and that is what catches his attention. And soon, they start spending time with each other and like previous cases, they both start loving each other. But this time, Raj is serious about Gayatri and wants to marry her, but she doesn’t believe in marriage and dumps him. Ouch!

So who gets Ranbir in the end?

I’ve a better question for you. Whom would you choose from these 3 girls?

1.Mahi – A girl next door who is totally romantic and a future housewife.

2.Radhika – A sexy, hot aspiring actress who has some attitude but believes in true love and can sacrifice her career for marriage.

3.Gayatri – A young independent, honest, well-educated, open-minded and ambitious girl who believes in love and also knows about flavored condoms.

You know the answer, I know the answer and even director knows the answer.

************************************************************

Now enough of the story, let’s talk about the movie. Before talking about that, I’ve one thing for the director. If you shoot a scene with an actor wearing sunglasses then you’re not supposed to show camera or filming crew in them. Moving on to movie, the power of the movie lies in the first half because it is funny and has only 3 emotional scenes. Rest part is funny and you’ll not be able stop yourself from having a smile during the whole part.

Bachna Ae Haseeno works because of its youth appeal and modern approach towards relationships. Moreover, the chemistry between the actors is great and undoubtedly, Ranbir and Deepika looks the best even if you don’t consider their off-screen relationship. I like the way kisses are being shown as normal in Bollywood movies these days and do watch out for the kiss between Ranbir and Bipasha. You can learn something out of it.

And if you are one of those who consider Kiss and sex against Indian culture then this movie is not for you.

Songs are great of the movie, although I gave 2.5 for the soundtrack, but watching the songs on big screen is a treat in itself. Almost every song fits in the movie but “Lucky Boy” looks like an item number instead of a situational song. Also try to reach on time for the movie because the title song of Bachna Ae haseeno comes in the starting. Believe me, you don’t want to miss that at any cost.

Also, I was surprised to see the way they were talking about games like Halo 3 and technical stuff, but I don’t know if I like it or not especially when Deepika talks about online game play because the expressions that Deepika gives while saying the dialogues come out to be counterfeit.

Bachna Ae Haseeno doesn’t work because of the promotion of other Yash Raj movies during the movie. For example; DDLJ, Dhoom and the way they keep on blabbering about DDLJ during the first 20 minutes. Also, the reference to games doesn’t work just like I said above. Director is trying to be cool and trying to impress the youth. Better luck next time.

One more factor that hinders the growth of the movie is the second part of the movie. It’s slow and filled with too many emotional scenes which contradict the first half. It’s not that I’m against emotional stuff but you’ve to do them in a right way.

Performances

Ranbir Kapoor

Honestly, I’ve never seen Saawariya because of the emetic reviews that critics gave, but they did praise Ranbir Kapoor and now I can see why. This guy is a born romantic hero just like his father, Rishi Kapoor. He carries the movie alone on his shoulders and frankly, this whole movie is about him only. He has a bright future in the industry.

Minissha Lamba and Bipasha Basu

Both of them do perfect justice to their roles but you can feel Preity Zinta’s hangover in Minissha’s performance. Nevertheless, they share great chemistry with Ranbir Kapoor and give you some memorable moments. By the way, Bipasha is hot in this movie, but you know it very well.

Deepika Padukone

I’m quite surprised with the role of Deepika. It seems like she gave a guest performance in the movie. You can hardly see her during the second part. Believe me, she only comes for like 5 minutes in second half and that’s a disgrace because many guys, including me, love her a lot. Also, audience is too eager to watch their favorite off-screen couple on-screen.

Furthermore, you can also feel the lack of intensity in her voice during her dialogues. They just don’t appear to be right, maybe they fucked it up during dubbing. She surely has the talent for acting but she needs a lot of work. Don’t worry Deepika you’re definitely better than Katrina Kaif and many others.

Verdict – Bachna Ae Haseeno is a good entertainer and an amiable romantic comedy. Director has done a good job and so as the actors. Forget about Singh is Kinng and God Tussi Great Ho, go watch this one. It’s not a path breaking film, but it’s definitely value for money movie.

Box-office result – I’m really bemused about this one because of Singh is Kinng. I don’t think God Tussi Great Ho, the second release of this week, will do any good at box office. As it is released on Independence Day, it can surely do good business and can be a hit. Addition to this, eagerness of audience to watch Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor will draw a lot of crowd. Yash Raj can finally get a hit after couple of box-office blunders.

Showstoppers – Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Bipasha Basu and Minissha Lamba.

Rating – 3 out of 5

With a series of flops going on for Yash Raj Productions both in terms of movies and music, they surely have great hopes from Ranbir Kapoor’s, Bachna Ae Haseeno. Promos look promising and Deepika is looking hot as ever. So, will this movie change the fate of Yash Raj Production in terms of music? Let’s find out.

Bachna Ae Haseeno

1. Khuda Jaane

This is the first song of the movie and it is a song which takes some time to get over you, considering its slow pace and the female singer that doesn’t suit the song at all. Lyrics are less or more average only. But, if you watch its music video, then surely you’ll like it. But as I said earlier, the Shilpa Rao doesn’t suit the song. You’ll feel even weirder when you watch the video because her voice doesn’t suit Deepika at all.

But overall, it’s a nice song but a bit lengthy too.

2. Lucky Boy

It starts with a nice Punjabi verse, and then Sunidhi comes and ruins the song. It’s not her fault too because the song itself is below average i.e. lyrics and the music. I can bet that, this song will be picturized on Bipasha Basu. It’ll certainly not appeal to guys, but, it can be popular in girls. And, I don’t know why they included Hard Kaur in this. Just like Khuda Jaane, it takes some time to get on you.

3. Aahista Aahista

Nice use of guitar in the starting of the song and that guitar solo lasts for almost a minute! Lucky Ali and Shreya Ghoshal make a nice duet and Shreya is good as always. It’s been a while since I listened to Lucky and his voice sounds refreshing. As of music, it is above average. But 5:52 minute length of the song kills it on the first place. If they would have made it shorter, then it would have been a moderate hit.

4. Jogi Mahi

When you listen to it for the first time, you get a lot of expectations from this song because of Shekhar’s great voice, but by the time you reach the hook part, lyrics just drop to level 0 and it doesn’t go in sync with music. Song is good only in the verses but it is really bad at the hook or chorus. Both Sukhvinder Singh and Shekhar give a first-class performance on it. Himani Kapoor is also palatable.

If you just don’t give care about lyrics for this song, then it would be sound really nice to you. One of the best songs of the whole album.

5. Small Town Girl

I really can’t understand that why they put this song in the album? It’s one of the worst songs to come out this year and it doesn’t make any sense. Songs starts with great guitar riffs. But then, it turns into crap with even more crappy lyrics.

“Chhoti ungli pe nachayegi tumhe, she’s a small town girl”

What the hell man? What kind of lyrics are these? Somewhere it’ll also sound like, “Ticket to Hollywood”, as Shankar Mahadevan is on the song and music is somewhat also the same. I don’t know why he did this song. Worst track of the album.

6. Khuda Jaane Revisited

The one and only remix of the album and I’ll not talk about it.

7. Bachna Ae Haseeno

Aaaww! The classic song. I was really looking forward to it, but again, Vishal-Shekhar didn’t do full justice to it. Why do you need Sumit Kumar on the verse man? He sounds so substandard on this song. Rapping is great by Vishal. But the chorus by Kishore Kumar is still a classic and it is the best part of the song. Listen to it for Kishore Kumar only.

I don’t know what has happened to Vishal-Shekhar, who gave such a hit album, Om Shanti Om. Maybe, they should take a break for some time and reinvent themselves. As for the album, it is an average album without a blockbuster song. Music should have been extraordinary for this movie, since there is so much hype around it.

2.5/5 (Better luck next time unlucky boys)
