Bewakoofiyan Critics Review
Sonam Kapoor and Ayushmann Khurrana's first collaboration Bewakoofiyan, finally hits the screens on the 14th of March, 2014. Falling under the Yash Raj Films banner, while this rom-com had already stirred the buzz owing to its shimmery glam and fresh chemistry, here are some of the leading critics reviews that have been evaluated for your valuable references to watch the film!
Critics Namely: DNA, Bollywood Hungama, Indian Express,
Moviezadda, and NDTV
DNA says, Ratings: 2.5/5
Bewakoofiyaan is a simple love story about a couple that has to battle not one but two villains to make their relationship work The second half is a cat and mouse game between Rishi Kapoor and Ayushmann as both try to outsmart each other. Unfortunately there isn't much for the actors to chew on with a wafer thin plot that offers very little scope to grow. Bewakoofiyaan had the opportunity to be smarter and funnier, unfortunately it plays it too safe to rise above the ordinary.
Bollywood Hungama says, Ratings: 3.5/5
BEWAKOOFIYAAN brings back memories of Anubhav Sinha's AAPKO PEHLE BHI KAHIN DEKHA HAI and Rahul Dholakia's KEHTAA HAI DIL BAAR BAAR, besides FATHER OF THE BRIDE and MEET THE PARENTS. On the whole, BEWAKOOFIYAAN springs a pleasant surprise. Watch this wonderful slice of life film for the super performances of Rishi, Ayushmann and Sonam, watertight writing, skilled direction and dollops of humor.
Moviezadda says, Ratings: 3.0/5
In comparison to Yash Raj banners romantic comedies, this one is a decent family entertainer with a good message attached to it. Though, weak publicity along with dull music and some dragging parts in the film the movie might not match up to the standards of their hit rom-com films.. But, for all those who love candy floss films with slice of life type story attached to it, 'Bewakoofiyaan' is a thoughtful comic drama rather than a typical rom-com film.
Indian Express says, Ratings: 1/5
Done well, it could have been revealing and rewarding: how does a guy feel when his girl gives him a hand-out; how does a girl feel when she has to keep doing it and not let him feel like a loser? But 'Bewakoofiyaan' spends most of its time trying to showcase a slew of brands, get us to smile at the antics of the father of the bride which are singularly unfunny, and to convince us that its leading lady can helm an entire film.
NDTV says, Ratings: 3/5
Bewakoofiyaan is a gentle, slice-of-life love story that runs with one of the oldest of the standard devices of the genre -- strong parental opposition to a proposed marital liaison, with money, or rather the lack of it, playing a big part. But the film does not turn either overly nonsensical or sickly sweet in an ill-advised pursuit of comic effect and cutesy twists. Bewakoofiyaan scores with its disarming simplicity. Even as it doesn't soar to dizzying heights, it is never less than watchable.
