Besharam (2013)

Excellent adaptation.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Besharam is one of the worst films I've seen in a long time. This movie is bad from the word 'Go' and I was wondering why did the father-mother-son duo of Rishi,Neetu and Ranbir ever signed this film.There is no story and it seems that Abhinav Kashyap who had made the entertaining Dabangg a few years back wanted to hit back on the Salman Khan camp for not letting him direct Dabangg 2. Alas, Salman had the last laugh because Besharam is terrible film and I wished many a times that Abhinav be punished firstly for co-writing this nonsense and then directing it.He wastes the talents of the Kapoor family, includes toilet humour and Ranbir's naked body shots, also wastes the talent of Javed Jaffery (who also looks bored), introduces one actress called Pallavi Sharda who has no screen presence, can't dance for nuts and worse, can't act too. Ranbir puts up one bad show from the word go. Besharam in English means shameless. But Ranbir's character is more of a cheepo than shameless. Disappointing show.

I can't understand how this has had so many negative reviews. The So Called blockbuster Chennai 'stupid' express got raving reviews. Ranbir Kapoor is brilliant as always, he shows that he is a complete actor adding to his existing credentials Rockstar, Barfi etc. Its an out an out entertainer, Ranbir Kapoor's on screen chemistry with his parents, Rishi & Neetu Kapoor is brilliant, who in their own individual scenes are more funny the whole movie 'chennai express'. Love the way Ranbir Kapoor getting Amithabh Bachchan's styling from the 80s as they show he is a huge fan in this movie, such as the brown leather jacket or shirts with a belt over the top. The music is all loud and entertaining, Lalit (of Jatin-Lalit ) tries to give a few typical Rishi kapoor type songs from the 70S & 80S . Average story but it keep you entertained and that is All this is about ENTERTAINMENT !!!

To be very honest, i was waiting for this movie for almost 2-3 months and i was pretty much excited for its release and also did planned to watch it in a nearby cinema. But after the movie got released, from the very first day, i got to see only negative reviews about this movie. i thought it would be worst than Phata Poster Nikla Hero. So i cancelled to watch it in the cinema and downloaded instead. Last night i got to see this movie, well it was bearable to be very honest. The 1st half was gone past that i didn't even realized. The 2nd half dragged a little bit. Could've been shorter, but then it goes that everything is fair in a Bollywood movie. I kinda like the movie just like a normal movie, also i know that it was highly anticipated. But go see the movie yourself and then decide.DO NOT GO ON BAD MOUTHING.

'Besharam', again an awful and hackneyed movie has joined the list of masala movies. It is really hard to understand the structure of such kind of cinema which does not serve any purpose for the reason that it spoils the image of evolving Indian Cinema. A lot of money and talent are being wasted in such ventures and consequence is futile-in this era, such kind of cinema is running parallel with imaginative and quality cinema which should be stopped in order to create some peculiar and though-provoking films.Abhinav Kashyap tries to reinvent the charisma of "Dabangg"- it had Salman with some good elements in contrast he now presents "Besharam" with a wafer thin plot, clichés, songs in almost every frame, Ranbir's butt cleavage, warehouse climax etc. It basically relies on Kapoor's but fails to get anywhere near to an entertainment due to an absurd screenplay and plot. Abhinav has great actors but it is impossible to act without a script.BESHARAM is Ranbir's debut with masala film, which is a fiasco. I wonder what made him work on 'Besharam', maybe because lately every A-list actor is working on these kinds of films.'Besharam' is set in 'Delhi', like most of the movies. Babli (Ranbir Kapoor) raised in an orphanage, is a street smart car mechanic who steals cars and gives all the money to his orphanage. He falls in love with Tara (Pallavi Sharda) but inadvertently steals her car. Now Babli decides to get her car back from Chandel (Javed Jaferry), a criminal.A lot of things happen in the zig-zag screenplay but nothing is consistent. You might be amused in some moments but those are forced and do not go well with the narration. It contains some crude and toilet humor with awkward body languages which looks over the top and unnecessary. Jaaved Jaffrey's first villainous act leaves an impression but in second half he has been portrayed as a caricature still he managed the expressions right.The love story is of completely off track with indigestible change of heart is involved in it. The lead pair looks indifferent with Pallavi Sharda's stiff expressions and mannerisms; she looks distant and dances violently. On the other hand Rishi-Neetu chemistry looks better than Ranbir-Pallavi.Like "Dabangg", Besharm also tries to create the room for some gravity-defying action sequence in mostly in the ware house but does not offer anything new. Rishi Kapoor suddenly becoming Sunny Deol looks atrocious as he pulls out the freaking hand pump is atrocious and awkward.You do have to brace yourself for forced songs in every 15 minutes, it annoys you more and leaves no stone unturned to ruins whatsoever remains. You will forget the songs as soon as it finishes and movie goes to the next frame.Ranbir Kapoor took the affliction on his shoulders to maintain the graph of the character which he does brilliantly nonetheless. Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor do the usual stuff effortlessly. Jaaved Jaaferi is really good and leaves a mark for his upcoming films.All the efforts go in vain because nothing is memorable due to the weak script and narrative. In a nut shell, you will only like it if you have lost faith that there are some good movies.
