Story
Rakesh(Bunty, Abhishek) and Vimmi(Bubli, Rani) both belong to two different cultural cities of India. Rakesh is from earthy Eastern India Middle class family, whose guardian has a white collar job of TCE, and pretty satisfied with every day routine. Vimmi belongs to Punjab side whose family has only one tension to get rid of her by marrying him.
But both of them wanted to do more fun instead of getting engaged in responsibility. Rakesh had very sharp brain, and tried many good schemes and ideas to make life easier for public but his honesty is looted and turns towards cheating. Vimmi too had escaped from her home and both met at lucknow. Vimmi wanted to participate in miss India but she too finds the dirty world behind these functions.
In open world where world is found to be ruthless for simple peoples, rakesh and vimmi discover one way to run over the head of hard world as well as find the fun of being sharp. Making fool of peoples and turning rich.
They did all kind of havoc and did all this just for fun.
Finally in last they realise that they had done wrong and they can do the same thing but for changing the bad world into good one by helping the police.
The story line is simple and it does not request you for too much of brain but a bit of heart.
Songs
Songs are ok. But two songs need special mention: The rap song of Amitabh Bachchan at the end, and the modern qwalli where Big B, Abhishek and Aishwarya meet together. Besides this I personally liked the song a romantic song: Dekhiye...
Performance
With B&B you find new face of both Rani and Abhishek. Best thing is that they have perfectly portrayed the nature and attitude of peoples from East India and Punjab. Their comedy and onscreen chemsitry is best of today movies. I saw them in yuva and today again in B&B. I bet that this pair is the best pair of present.
regarding performance, if Abhishek bachchan continues with this kind of performances which is getting better with every next release, I feel he will be the numero Uno by next year. You see Yuva, then Phir Milenge, , Dhoom, Bunty aur Bubli. Now in Pipeline are movies like Sarkar and Dus. I am very positive about this actor now.
Rani is queen. Though what she did in Black is non comparable with this one but she is terrific. She is number one no doubt. She is the actoress who has the capacity to force the importance of female roles in movie.
Amitabh Bachchan. When one watches him in Black thereafter the standerd becomes very high. This is the problem in which AB has got trapped after black. He has to compete with himself now. Not much was given to AB. But whatever was given he did justice though some times he looked not enjoying his role. Ab must be cautious about his role selection specially after Black. he has set high standerd himself and public will not like to see him below that now. He must avoid taking such roles.
In overall B&B does not look special becuase both bachchan are coming first time together. This is due to the role and the weight required to hold, which we expect from Sarkar. it is expected to be the real Bachchans first platform shared kinda.
Raj Babbar in small role was very nice and cute.
Direction and Technicalities
Recently released few movies were high on technicalities instead of colour rites and visual cacophony. Take Black, naina, Kaal, Dhoom. All these were technically sound with good background score, cinematography and camera. Bunty bubli stays bahind in this part which some times made the movie dull.
Also Shaad Ali should not have used the sync sound. the filmakers must understand that public dont enjoy sync sound.
Overall Bunty aur Bubli is a good family movie as well as comedy. I recommend it above kya cool hain hum and other releases presently in cinema halls.
