BLUF

Who thinks they can get away with a 2-hour 50-minute movie with a wafer-thin plot and bad music? YRF apparently does.

Bunty Aur Babli’s newest cons belong to 1990, the slick shots of romance belong to 2021 and between these two dates, the franchise digs itself into an irredeemable hole.

THE MEAT AND THE POTATOES

What could have been a slick comeback of the franchise is a drag story of a new age Bunty and Babli turn stretched and a tad bit forced on its audiences.

Yes, we loved season one and while we had great memories, the comeback did nothing to rekindle them.

Saif Ali Khan and Rani have done their chemistry to death and in Bunty and Babli, they seem to trying to rekindle their 20’s but fail miserably. The clothes, the dialogues, the tropes make them insufferable.

The scope was to have the new age B&B take over with aplomb but the cons they commit are archaic, obsolete, and antiquated.

IN THE KNOW

The production quality is YRF slick, but the story has no meat which immediately puts the audiences to sleep with nothing gripping happening on screen and the jokes quite fall flat.

Sharvari, the new YRF girl looks good and does well to hold the fort in front of more experienced actors but those clips of her hot bod only hook the audience’s attention that far.

Siddhant Chaturvedi was quite respected in Gully boy but his attempt at speaking with an Italian accent to pass off as an Emirati is a massive fail. Actors need to research better.

The music is terrible, Rani’s costumes hurt the eye and the whole angle for the over-smart son only takes up time that should not have been used elsewhere.

Even a gem like Pankaj Tripathi could do nothing to save the show. We hope you get the drift.

Too many unnecessary scenes

Too long for this time and age
