Bas Yun Hi (2003) Reviews
Like a summer noon, calm but uninteresting
Bas Yun Hi is about a bunch of 5 yuppies and is set totally in Bangalore. Rohan is engaged and he believes in astrology. According to his horoscope his ideal life partner would have a name that starts with V. His friend Aditya (Purab Kohli) decides to play a prank on him by getting his friend Veda (Nandita Das) to meet him and fall in love. Rohan actually falls for it and soon he is smitten by Veda. She too forgets its a prank and is totally attracted to him. Meanwhile, Rohan discovers that the horoscope he had was not his but that of his brother. Things further complicate when Rohan's fiancée returns from her travel. The mood of this movie is totally offbeat and light. It actually feels like one of those cloudy afternoons in Bangalore. All the locales (Coffee Day outlets, parks, etc.) of the movie are in Bangalore and the city looks really good on screen! Nandita Das looks damn natural and has an easy role to play. What sucks in the movie is the pace. There really is not enough story in it to fill 2 hours, resulting in an extremely slow pace. The ending is quite predictable and disappointing. Had it been edited to ¾-1 hour, this would've been a decent made-for-TV movie.
Offbeat and fun
If you want to get away from those star-studded, formulaic movies for a couple of hours of fun, Bas Yun Hi is a good choice. The film is an admirable effort from a young cast and crew, showcasing the hip and trendy lifestyles of today's 20-something men and women in Bangalore. While the story and screenplay could have been crisper, the basic plot makes the movie a delightful offbeat comedy. What starts out as a harmless joke turns into something more serious during the course of a few days, leading some of the characters to question their own romantic feelings. The lead actors put on a decent performance given the limited scope that their characters provide. All in all, a promising debut by the production team.
Lame, lame, lame
What exactly was this movie about?? On the face of it, it seems watchable, yuppie crowd, good music, Bangalore......but all that seems does not eventuate. Extremely loose script, lame dialogs and just about bearable acting. The movie looked like it had been shot on a camcorder, with extremely bad cuts. Why didn't they just use that huge contraption that Purab was carrying around. Everything looked like it had been shot in a studio, maybe that was because of the echoing voices, or perhaps because of the lack of background music. Acting was so so, most of the time it looked like it was an extremely slow paced play. None of the characters were fully developed, and they always seemed to be in a hurry to go somewhere.......where?? I don't know, maybe you should ask the cast, and while you're with them, also ask Nandita Das why she felt the need to do this film. She looks different and acts as well as ever, but didn't she read the script before signing on?? Purab wasn't great, and as for the other actors........why were they even in the movie (esp Kabir's girl friend.........what was her name?) I usually appreciate experimental, young movies, but this one was a farce. Not worth watching, unless you'd like to see what Bangalore looks like in the director's dreams.
Very enjoyable
Nicely shot, good acting, enjoyable dialog and fun little touches all through. Brought out Bangalore's character, and it is a pleasure to see a beautiful and realistic (as realistic as feasible for a fun movie) portrayal of the city. Story is a bit soft, but is engaging. Interesting, amusing and fairly realistic interactions between the young group of friends the story is about. Felt like the night shots needed more light. Particularly enjoyable: Various shots of Bangalore (including Gulmohar trees in bloom), Nandita Das' acting, Bangalore interiors, which were very nicely done up and showcased, clothing/costumes that were easy on the eye. Overall an extremely enjoyable experience. Looking forward to further work from this director.
