Yashraj Films are known for making so many romcoms almost most films are made on the same lines, shot in exotic locales, girls wearing minis.etc Bachna Ae Haseeno was Ranbhir's second release after Saawariya which tanked. The film was his first film with YRF, He was paired opposite the lil older and hot Bipasha, Minisha and his then ladylove Deepika Padukone. If you remember an old Dev Anand film TEEN DEVIYAN(1965) The film borrows the concept but treats it like yet another YASHRAJ film with references to their films, be it background music of Dhoom, usage of their hit songs irrespective of the time period their film is set in. The film is given an episodic treatment, first Ranbhir in 1996 meets Minisha Lamba who like a typical Yashraj heroine dreams that she will get a lover boy like Raj from DDLJ as if she hasn't seen any other movie, she falls for Ranbhir after escapades which involve Ranbhir who never saw DDLJ suddenly having an orchestra play music of the title song,Anything can happen in Yashraj Land.... The episode is ended properly and then we go to 2002 where we have Bipasha and Ranbhir staying as neighbours in a posh building, Ranbhir is working for microsoft, he has a buddy Hiten Paintal Ranbhir and Bipasha fall in love slowly and have a live in relationship which became a norm after Salaam Namastey in Yashraj films but the culmination to their story is straight out of 1970s films where Bipasha is shown crying in rain on her wedding day. Deepika's story is far from convincing, she is shown as a taxi driver who studies side by side but has a wardrobe full of clothes also her certain change in behaviour towards Raj is unfathomable Ranbhir going to ask forgiveness from both is strecthed for too long, The Minisha track is at least okay but the scenes with Bipasha look unconvincing and the sudden end looks hurried.
Direction by Siddharth Anand is good in parts Music by VS is okay, The title song which uses the old Kishore Kumar hit song Bachna Ae Haseeno is well made, Khuda Jaane is good rest are okay
Ranbhir Kapoor looks the part and handles all three personas well, this was his conventional role after his unconventional debut. Bipasha Basu is good in her part, Minisha Lamba is annoying initially but is good in second half, Deepika Padukone was very raw in her second film she is good in some scenes though Hiten Paintal is good, Kunal Kapoor has an effective cameo
