Story - One of the most interesting plots of the year. Bollywood hasnt really seen too many stories like this one. Raj, a flirt who's immature, irresponsible, but any girl would lfall for this guy. Raj has three very special women in his life: Mahi, Radhika and Gayatri. He breaks the heart of the first two but falls in love with Gayatri. Although, there's a twist which makes Raj feel horrible about what he did to Mahi and Radhika, so he goes on a quest to apologize to both of the girls.
BAH isnt flawless. It does have a share of flaws but the overall product is so good that one just wants to forget those tiny minuses. The film loses steam after a great first half. The second hour is a little shaky but it's not as bad as many have called it. Also, Deepika's character is very weak. The writers did not elaborate on her, maybe because they put too muh work into the characterization of Raj, Radhika and Mahi. Otherwise, it's a very good film.
Locations are excellent. Italy, Switzerland, Australia, Mumbai - everything is picturised so wonderfully. Cinematography is good as well. The film is very well shot.
The music is good. Not like the music Yash Raj used to produce back in their Veer Zaara and Fanaa days but compared to the recent crappy scores they've been giving, it's nice. Khuda Jaane is just awesome and we all love the tittle track.
Siddarth Annand is a very good director, that was proved withi his very first film - Salaam Namaste. He handles many momments with brilliance in this one.The emotinal scenes, the comedy - nothing over the top.
There are very very few actors in India that keep you glued to your seat with their expressions, dialogue delivery and screen presence. From the current employees of the film industry, there's Mr. Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Hrithik Roshan and Aamir Khan - these guys make you fall in love with their characters with their high level of charisma. I know it's too early to say but I'd like to add Ranbir Kapoor to that list. He was the only thing worth mentioning in Saawariya and he outdid himself in this one as well. He's just flawless
