Compared to the agony of sitting through this movie, the rack (a favorite instrument of torture in the Middle Ages in Europe) would be a more endurable form of punishment.
Bunty Aur Babli follows the capers of two swindlers Bunty (Abhishek Bachchan) and Babli (Rani Mukerji), who hail from two boring little towns. Then, there's Dashrath Singh (Amitabh Bachchan), the cop on their trail.
There is not a single redeemable feature in Bunty Aur Babli. The movie's downward spiral begins right at the very begining.
Although it's hard to figure which of the three - the juvenile story line, humdrum acting or banal songs - has wreaked the most damage on our senses, it's safe to say that the story is the biggest culprit. With such a sophomoric story line, even the best film maker would be reduced to tears.
Amitabh Bachchan looks and acts positively clownish as the Deputy Commissioner of Police. Abhishek seems wooden while Rani Mukerji is passable.
While it's true that most Indian movies are implausible caricatures of reality, Bunty Aur Babli stretches reality to ridiculous lengths.
An entirely forgettable movie. - Copyright SearchIndia.com.
