“Bachna Ae Haseeno” starring Ranbir Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Deepika Padukone and Minissha Lamba is directed by Siddharth Anand.

“Bachna Ae Haseeno” is another product of Yashraj productions. “Bachna Ae Haseeno” is a movie made for the youth. “Bachna Ae Haseeno” is a romantic movie about a young chap (Ranbir) who falls in love with 3 gorgeous ladies at different stages of his life. Ranbir, a flippant character, betrays the first two women only to be rejected by the third (Deepika Padukone). Ranbir first falls in love when he is in Higher Secondary school in the year 1996. The second time he falls in love when he starts working in a company in Mumbai in the year 2002 and the third time his love episode takes place in Australia.

The young chap Ranbir breaks the heart of first 2 girls so badly and he never understands it until his third girlfriend breaks his heart and makes him suffer the pain of an unreciprocated love affair.

The movie begins with a guy going back to his flashback and taking us to beautiful Switzerland where he had fallen in love for the first time with the gorgeous Minissha Lamba. The director has tried very hard to show us that it was actually 1996 but somehow the 18-year old charm is missing in the actors.

The second love affair takes place in 2002 with Bipasha Basu. Ranbir is shown working for Microsoft’s gaming section. Here, the guy looks younger while Bipasha looks older. It is a kind of mismatch. But here, there are few comedy scenes and the performance is stunningly real.

In 2007, Ranbir is in Sydney where he meets Deepika Padukone. There is indeed some kind of a sudden, love-at-first-sight-spark between Ranbir and Deepika.  But the directorial failure to use the off-screen chemistry between Ranbir and Deepika is very disappointing.

The movie seems quite ‘ok-types’ in the first half but as it reaches the interval, you predict what-next on the screen -  the story is churned out in a very expected manner. The music is superb, especially two songs, the classic Bachna Ae Haseeno and Khuda Jaane, really stand out. Cinematography is fantastic; the locales of Australia and Italy have been beautifully captured. On the acting front, Ranbir looks pretty good though and overall he has done a good job. Minissha again goes overboard like Ranbir in first story but later it is all good. Bipasha despite of looking bit older in front of Ranbir is the best of the lot. Deepika too is good.

Overall, it seems that “Bachna Ae Haseeno would do good business. It maybe liked by few while few might not like it.
