Supporting cast (Farooq, Tanvi) is terrific. Parental conflicts, much like in WUS is prevalent. Revealing their characters may spoil the watch. Kunaal is apt for the role while I still cannot construe what Poornima, Dixit & Rana were doing there. Ranbir (who the film is almost based upon with the decisions he has to make as a complelling life of a nomad) & Deepike jazz up the screen with no mistake at all yet Deepika's sudden shift from a pious, studious dame to her usual party- girl avatar is fishy, while Kalki & Aditya pass, with the script not letting them explore their insights. Juxtaposed with heavy numbers, life elements, relationships, romance & social conflicts, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani only appeals till midway. Unpredictability is stereotype here but Ayan molds it for his audience as a fun, frothy buddy flick which actually loses pace when theme of Rockstar & Karan Johar led family ties enter the plot. The story is clichéd, yes, and to make it worse, the climax actually works against the film although it is justified for a theme like this. Traces of Dil Chahta Hai, Rang De Basanti, Kai Po Che & even Aashiqui 2 is explicit, so is the filmmaking which feels like they have been inspired by Zoya Akhtar.
Overall, the route taken to say an old, short, romantic story, is arduous and infested with clichés as it dives into deep philosophy. The second half sucks and drags a lot with cheeky references and illogical sequences. With the cast so heavily gorgeous giving out performances like its their last, revs up the movie-watching experience only for the first half. Rating: 5/10 He takes up a ghissa-pita story, much like his debut Wake Up Sid and tries to turn it around.
On the whole, 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' is a thoroughly watchable film. Kunaal Roy Kapur & Evelyn Sharma are adequate. Farooq Sheikh is simply outstanding in a brief role. She delivers a fantastic performance, easily her finest to date. She's extremely natural & believable all through. Deepika has emerged into such a fine performer. Performance-Wise: Ranbir is dependable, as always. Cinematography captures the exotic locales with flourish. He deserves credit for executing the film with style. After making the coming-of-age 'Wake Up Sid', he takes a complete turn in 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani'. Ayan Mukerji has taken a complete departure this time. But i'd like to add, that, the humor isn't clever enough. The Screenplay, which is inspired by many Bollywood Classics, has a certain appeal to it. The excessive length of over 2 hours & 40 minutes, needed some trimming, at least by 20-minutes. The First-Hour is smooth, but the Second-Hour could've been shorter. If viewed with minimal expectations, chances of you being disappointed are ruled out! 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' Is The Same Old Love-Story of how Opposites Attract! A nerdish girl falls for a free-willing boy, but loses him when he leaves the country, only to reunite with him 8 years later! 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' is clichéd & predictable, but it still delivers some charming moments. My problem with the film, and it's minor, was the silly scene were Naina takes off her glasses and instantly people notice how hot she is! What a cliché.plus my wife was much like Naina when I met her but is hot with and without her glasses! Still, it's fun and worth seeing.Īyan Mukerji's 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' is A Decent Light-Hearted Flick! It works till it lasts. You can't fault the film for this-this is THE format that Indian films follow these days and very few deviate from this. Like the typical Bollywood film, this romance is predictable and there's lots of singing. They hit it off and seem to be falling in love but one HUGE problem stands in their way-Bunny has vowed never to marry and wants to travel the world and experience EVERYTHING. There, Naina slowly learns to unwind and meets sexy Bunny (he is a man-not some furry-despite the name). So, on a lark, she decides to drop everything and head off on an adventure-and she picks the same destination the vacuous schoolmate chose. While Naina graduated top of her class and is at the top of her class in medical school, this meeting with the schoolmate left Naina feeling that she's missing something.fun. The film begins with Naina and her mother meeting up with a rather vacuous old schoolmate of Naina. Still, given that I was watching it while flying across the Atlantic, it was a nice time-passer and kept my attention.
I enjoyed watching "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani" quite a bit, though I'll admit that the story has a few clichés here and there that kept it from being better.
