Bewakoofiyaan (2014)
6/10
A light-hearted romantic comedy strictly for one-time watch
16 March 2014
When the Great Recession started in 2009, many innocent people lost their job as few companies went bankrupt overnight. Bewakoofiyan borrow the interesting concept of love during "recession" drama and surprises you with light-heart comedy.

In order to impress Myra's father, Mohit does everything on earth from white lies about his job and status to bank account balance. Things turns topsy turvy when recession hits the market and Mohit actually loses his job.

This is the second movie from Nupur Asthana who gave a surprise comedy MUJHSE FRAANDSHIP KAROGE. Keeping a title like Bewakoofiyaan and telling story about love in the time of recession sounds weird but interesting as well. The director does not waste time in boy-meets-girl love saga and focuses straight to the point of impressing the father-in-law. The movie is definitely engaging thanks to the wonderful chemistry between Rishi Kapoor and Ayushman Khurranna. Screenplay is little timid and does not pick up anywhere. Music is average with none of songs leaving impact. Cinematography is decent. Art direction is just about okay. Dialogues are passable. Rishi Kapoor is the powerhouse of performance playing yet another character to cherish and applaud. Ayushman gives adequate support. Sonam Kapoor is over the top. She still has a long way to go to prove her mettle.

Overall, a light-hearted romantic comedy strictly for one-time watch. Decent. 2.75/5
