Baar Baar Dekho movie review: Sidharth-Katrina's film has guesswork at its core

Katrina Kaif and Sidharth Malhotra's Baar Baar Dekho is in screens today. Directed by Nitya Mehra, the film is touted as a high-concept love story. Here's our Baar Baar Dekho movie review.

Good-looking places, good-looking people, good-looking everything else. If there is one thing Nitya Mehra's Baar Baar Dekho gets right, it is how to exploit everything good-looking in the vicinity. For most part of the songs, that falls on Katrina Kaif's abs - the most-talked-about part of the film as of now.

Jai (Sidharth) and Diya (Katrina) are childhood friends who are in love with each other. Jai is a Mathematics professor in Delhi and Diya is an artist. When Diya proposes marriage to a commitment-phobic Jai who wants to move to Cambridge and teach there, the discussion somehow reaches Diya's father (Ram Kapoor).

 

The night before their wedding, Diya and Jai have a fight and the girl leaves, saying she was never coming back. Jai makes the most of the bottle of champagne at hand and drifts off to sleep. Only to wake up next to Diya on his honeymoon, in Thailand. He finds out he's been married for ten days, but has no recollection whatsoever of the last ten days.

Every time Jai goes to sleep, he wakes up in a different year, a different time and place. He doesn't know what is happening to him. And for most part of Baar Baar Dekho, the audience is on the same page as Jai: clueless about what is happening on the screen in front of them

 

The supporting cast too meld into the rest of the sub-par performances. Ram Kapoor helps people let out the occasional laugh. Rajit Kapoor, Rohan Joshi, Sayani Gupta, Sarika, the rest of them all are there in the film probably because they were written into the script.

Baar Baar Dekho shines in the cinematography department. Ravi K Chandran's camera captures Thailand, Glasgow and Katrina's abs in all their glory; making Baar Baar Dekho more about the fluff than anything substantial.

In all, watch Baar Baar Dekho if you swear by the newer, fitter, leaner, hotter Katrina Kaif and her abs. There's nothing much to watch otherwise.
