Baar Baar Dekho (2016)

Truth be said I was nowhere interested to see this movie after watching the trailer because this concept has been done many times and there is nothing new to it. Then came the video song for "Tere Khair Mangdi" and Siddharth Malhotra's expressions hooked me in and I was interested to see whether he has done something different. So I just went it with very low expectations but I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Now when I came to rate this movie I was shocked to see such a low rating so I think I should give in my input for people who haven't seen it yet. Story wise the movie is what you are expecting if you have seen Hollywood movies where a love-story is mixed with time travel. The highlight of the movie is Siddharth Malhotra. He gives a surprisingly emotional and soulful performance depicting each age in the time-line. The cinematography is brilliant. Every bit of the chaos called marriage is shown brilliantly and the confusion which Sid's character, Jai is having is shown articulately. Now with such amazing direction and camera-work the one who fails and had so much room to work is Katrina Kaif. She is still short on how to emote and she is absolutely not at par with Siddharth. Ram Kapoor and Sarika stroll through their roles. Rohan Joshi gets his Bolly debut. Though a bit stiff, he does his best. My honest suggestion is to give it a watch because it is a refreshing change to the already beaten down formula of Bollywood's take on romance and love.

Fmovies: Great love story. One of the best ones this year. Cinematography is brilliant, so are actors and story. Siddharth is on a roll this year, being a part of two of the best movies this year (my opinion) : Kapoor & Sons and Baar Baar Dekho. It's wonderful to see Bollywood experimenting with this genre and way of storytelling. It's original and refreshing. Not the usual masala clichéd movie. The movie is fun as well as deep. Music is wonderful as well.

A smart movie with a great message as well as wonderful locations, great music, comic reliefs. Bollywood should keep making such films. A 10/10 from mine side. Made our day.

I loved the movie. I know there are too many good movies out there and too many movies just to entertain but i was obliged to write this review only because i saw too many people criticizing about the movie. Katrina Kaif did a great job. I hadn't expected much from her but i see her getting maturing her skills here. It was a great script even though it's a copy of a Hollywood movie, nonetheless well done because not all of us get to see all Hollywood movies.

Songs were very very nice, from party songs to romantic. I watched with my fiancé and although for her she had some trouble relating to Sid but again like Sid, we all Indians do almost without noticing i.e, working too hard for our kids for our own future and forget to live in moments and spread joy to people around.

I would suggest you to watch if you are an adult and work. For kids, it might be boring but again not all movies are for all audiences. Also, it was a good attempt to show future world.

Baar Baar Dekho fmovies. Debutante Nitya Mehra juxtaposes elements that are generally associated with science fiction, fantasy, and romance, and carves out a story that looks and feels very familiar to the audience at large.

Jai (Sidharth Malhotra) is a Mathematics professor who is in a ridiculously long and maintained relationship with Diya (Katrina Kaif), a modern art painter who is never shown using a paintbrush, even once. Jai wants to continue the relationship with his childhood sweetheart, but considers his career more important. Since he is also slightly unorthodox and possibly agnostic, he kicks up a storm with the pandit (priest) regarding the "saath phere" ("seven rounds around the holy fire which generally bonds marriages in Hindusim"). And we are told that this might be the cause why he dozes off after a life-changing tiff with Diya later that day and ends up waking up on his honeymoon, ten days later.

Baar Baar Dekho is essentially NOT a time travel flick. Rather, it is a partly science fictional and fantasy narrative involving a man who is partially cursed by a Hindu priest to teach him a lesson why the "saath phere" is important and why he should also focus on the small things in life. Jai flip-flops between his life, specifically touching the years 2023, 2034, and 2047, which makes him realize what he's been missing out and how his life would turn out to be if he continues to "not focus on the small things in life." Science fiction kicks in in terms of swanky, modular cars, sleek architectures, and good-looking technology. Having said that, it is also a romantic drama in part where Jai and Diya romance, and engage in matrimony, also unsuccessfully trying to embrace realism.

The film starts off very jubilantly, with a ballad-like, tuneful song serenading the audience to the lives of the protagonists as they grow up to be the bearers of the story. It is a delight to watch Malhotra and Kaif maneuver their characters effortlessly, supported by well-directed co-stars whose primary attribute is an all-smiles, if not exaggerated, faces. Ms. Mehra writes the romance well, but falters in the second part when Jai has to learn lessons and apply them in his life to make things right. While the story is definitely inspired by Frank Coraci's Click (2006) and Harold Ramis' Groundhog Day (1993), one wonders if it reaches any of the levels broken by those two classics. Conclusively, the story is neither novel nor awe-inspiring.

Malhotra is clueless throughout the film despite being a Mathematician who was last seen watching Ron Howard's A Beautiful Mind (2001). His character is half-baked, while Kaif gets into a type of character that she is evidently very comfortable in. She is charming in the first half. Ram Kapoor and Sarika both are pleasing. Shout out to Rohan Joshi for debuting, and Sayani Gupta for laddering up.

The film, if at all, teaches one to consider the small things in life and take merry in them, rather than working toward the big things, which may be too elusive and unworthy. Family is important than one's job as our Jai finds out the hard way, even though he knows how much 546 multiplied by 48 is. I know, that's what Mathematicians in Cambridge do, right!? Multiplication!

All in all, Baar Baar Dekho will work for an Indian viewer because there is enough dance and romance to get him through the first half. Even if he understands the concept, the second half is slightly boring and formulaic, with no importance given to his patien

So refreshing a movie, it was almost a surprise!! To the folks who have dismissed it as a TIME TRAVEL movie have obviously not understood it. It is NOT time travel but mind travel, or, simply speaking thought travel that makes the main character realize the value of his real love and what all he would want out of that relationship. Never in Hindi cinema has this concept been tried. There is no scientific explanation given to the fact as to why and how, and it is not even relevant, IF you try to understand and grasp the story line. Hats off to the new lady director who decided to take this one as a challenge, and has done a brilliant job. Watch this one with your girl/boyfriend, or even family, totally worth your time. I loved every minute of it. The songs and dance sequences are awesome too.

well well Bollywood is not familiar with such kinda story. but i must say this is a very good attempt, although it is not so much entertaining but you will definitely see a very different type of story with a strong message about life, like your what is more important to you in life. Simply you don't know when your life is over..ENJOY THE EACH MOMENT..Katrina play good role , Siddhartha feel like lost in this movie, do not just see the movie feel it,live it and know, what the director want us to see.overall i will say to you its a one time watch at-least. Songs are good its flows as per the story and there are lots of week points in the movie. Over ALL it is good for one time watch.
