Bajatey Raho Review

One Line Review: An enticing revengeful satirical endeavor spinning around the theme of conning the con.

Positive Points: Good Direction, Screenplay, Great character performances and Light hearted comedy.

Negative Points: Baseless storyline at certain junctures.

Plot: The story is about a Punjabi family living in a small town in Delhi who is conned by a banker named Sabbarwahl (Ravi Kishan). Sabbarwahl asks Sukhi's (Tusshar Kapoor's) father who is the head of this Punjabi family to start up a financial agency and collect funds from the public as investment from them into the agency. Sabbarwahl later instructs Sukhi's father to transfer the wholesome amount of public investment which is a treasure of a whopping sum of Rs.15 Crore to his bank for a bigger profit.

As per the plan of this conman Sabbarwahl, he takes all the money from Sukhi's father and disappears like a needle in a lot of hay. Public holds Sukhi's father guilty for eating up their money and locks him up in the jail where Sukhi's father falls to death. As per the law, if the culprit dies, the family of the culprit are held liable to pay the money or else they too have to serve in jail for rest of their life. Here is where the son of the so called culprit Sukhi (Tusshar Kapoor) comes in spot light and the real plot begins. This situation also witnesses the entry of Mintoo Hassan(Vinay Pathak) and Ballu (Ranvir Shorey) along with Manpreet (Vishakha Singh) step forward to help Sukhi out of it. They plan to con the man who conned Sukhi's father.

The actual fun of the film lies in this part where the situations & dramas are created by this characters to succeed their plan and rob Sabbarwahl in the same manner as he did to Sukhi's family.

Will they succeed in getting the money back? Or Sabbarwahl will get a hold on them?

Direction & Other Technical Aspects: The film somewhere remind us of such theme based movie like 'Khosla Ka Ghosla' but has a bit of change in the storyline. The direction is carried out with ease very well tried to maintain the authentic feel of the film. Shooting in narrow lanes of Delhi takes us on a trip to the inner-skirts of the capital, which is a peace to the eyes. The background score works wonders giving a real feel to each scene.

The plot might remind you of 'Khosla Ka Ghosla' which was also based on such a plot with only two things in common that is; actors Ranvir Shorey and Vinay Pathak who also played respective role in the earlier film. But the fun eliment of this film is different from the other as Mummy Ji (Dolly Ahluwalia) also plays a key role in all this drama but in a different way.

Performances: All the actors in the film are brilliant with their skills. No doubt about the acting talents of Ranvir Shorey and Vinay Pathak as they stand apart in whatever they do.

Talking about Tusshar Kapoor, he has also came out as an good actor. This film has given him a chance to explore his acting talent along with dialogues. Something different as compared to his earlier films for which he has been appreciated.

Ravi Kishan has played his part brilliantly showcasing negative shades. Dialogues and expressions are very well carried out by the actor.

Other actors like Dolly Ahluwalia, Vishakha Singh and Kamlesh Gill have also done justice to their respective roles.

Music: The music is composed by a lot of members like Jaidev Kumar, RDB, Honey Singh, Gajendra Verma and Vikram Singh for their respective songs. Well though this movie consists only two songs, the addition of this songs goes very well timed with the film.

Final Verdict: Overall this movie is a good watch but keeping your logic aside. It has been prepared with a clear motive of entertainment usage of brain is not much needed. Theaters still packed with the earlier release 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' can predict an average response to this film.
