DDLJ for me was a romantic benchmark in Indian Cinema along with Mohabbatein and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and it all happened because of one person who brought good mentality from his father and that is Aditya Chopra himself. I always admired his films by the writing, chemistry, direction, and music. But this is the only movie in Aditya Chopra's table which screwed every classic in Indian cinema.
The fantastic trailer and the music YRF put up made me excited but honestly, this film is a disappointment. I don't mind rom-com movies but when it comes to scripting, Adi should've been a bit cautious about what to write. A movie about carefree relationships is not one of them.
The performances in the movie were decent. An actor like Ranveer Singh can make a movie like this worth watching. He was very withheld and humorous in his respective role as Dharam Gulati who played a comedian/playboy.
Vaani Kapoor as Shyra Gill acted averagely well as a tour guide but I felt like she took coaching classes from Katrina Kaif like the way to seduce a guy and create romantic expressions in one way during the movie. That could explain the puffy lips she got after an excessive amount of kissing in the movie.
The direction and cinematography were absolutely spot-on. Aditya Chopra and his DOP managed to shoot Paris very realistically top to bottom with good resonance. The good thing that Adi managed to do was giving good Aesthetic shots in the movie, especially how he shot the kisses although more than 20 weren't needed. The first half was interesting especially the songs in the opening but the interval and climax made me cringe a lot.
His writing was not good because having a carefree relationship colliding with marrying someone else are 2 things which didn't make sense to me. The script for me is hard to explain because of some bit of confusion.
Good music can only come from 2 humble gentlemen and they're Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani. Nashe Si Chadh Gayi is a good track which I've been listening to on a loop as well as You and Me. Khulke Dhulke is the only song in the album which failed to pack a Punjabi wedding punch. Vaibhavi's choreographic skills are getting better and better. Better than Farah Khan and Prabhudeva.
Overall, if I want to describe this film, I would say that Befikre is a mediocre written blue film. The music and direction kept the movie tight but the poor writing and post-interval compromised it which is why this movie is worth a one-time watch or on a Netflix and T.V broadcast.
Aditya Chopra- I know how much you wanted to make a fun and sensuous movie but a script for that needs time. You're still a good filmmaker in my opinion but be careful.
2/5- Yash Raj Films have some damages to fix because of what the Box Office will be like.
