Movie Info

When two ambitious dreamers and schemers from a pair of dead-end towns meet up, girl and boy team Bunty and Babli is unleashed on the world, giving rise to a series of increasingly wild and wacky capers. From spiritual gurus to gangster and moll, from business partners to vagabonds, the duo runs circles around rajahs and millionaires, ministers and explorers, but most of all, policeman Dashrath Singh.

Critic Reviews for Bunty Aur Babli

Transition from the easygoing, linear Part I to the more dramatic, plot-heavy Part II -- a standard Bollywood structure -- is pretty much seamless, thanks to the strong three leads.

A considerable improvement over his trivial debut, Saathiya, Shaad Ali Sahgal's vibrant, rollicking and often absurd film is first-rate mindless entertainment.

Shaad Ali directs his second venture with tremendous surety and elan. Abhishek is perfect as Bunty-naughty, twisted yet unspoilt at heart.

This enjoyable comedic romp features all the elements that Bollywood is famous for.

Bollywood has a reputation for churning out candyfloss films, and this rollicking romantic caper indeed proves that that doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing.

Audience Reviews for Bunty Aur Babli

Apr 14, 2008

Here is a hilarious movie that follows a pair of devious misfits that are out for the ultimate goal: success! Rakesh and Vimmi are looking for life beyond their small town, and they hope that their parents would be able to understand their needs. Rakesh despises a bland ticket counter job that his own father occupies, and searches for a quick money scheme that will land him instant success. Vimmi is opposed to marriage with a stranger, and dreams of becoming a supermodel. The two decide to leave home in search of those dreams, but reality gives them a rude awakening. As their dreams fall short, they are ready to accept defeat. Then, the two meet in a train station and decide to give success another shot. As this also fails, the two embark on a crazy, cunning adventure of ?cleaning? and ?scheming? to get money. One escapade right after another, the two begin to fall in love and are set with a vast decision that will lead them to accept that this quick-money plan will end soon. As a lonely policeman follows their trails, the two are running out of places to run and hide. Great cast- Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukherjee, and Amitabh Bachchan. Great performance by Aishwarya Rai. Filled with tons of laughter! Definitely worthy!

A pretty funny movie. But, not so great. The soundtrack, of course, is awesome. I guess that I don't really like Rani and Abhishek together in a movie.
