Dharma Productions's latest offering "Baar Baar Dekho" has opened to mixed reactions across the whole country. While some have termed it as a path breaking film, some others are shocked at the on-screen experience of watching it.
We loved it..
Critics and Karan Johar's friends, Sidharth Malhotra's parents and Katrina Kaif's staff claim that they both understood and loved the film.
One critic Mr. Karan's Mouthpiece said while speaking to Faking news correspondent, "Its a film that speaks of relationships in the scientific language that today's generation understands. Its not a rom com that we get to see every week these days. HaHaHa. Its a sci-fi film based on time travel with its heart in the Indian family values. Its an Indian Interstellar I would say."
Another critic Mr. Barrons Mugger outpoured his emotions while speaking to us ,"I despise giving it the trivial term the 'rom-com'. It is the ultimate what-if saga, narrated with a tender care and subdued splendour that makes every moment between the lead pair precious and gladdening". Our correspondent could not take it any more and shut his mike.
What the hell was that...
However, the common man in the country is struggling to make sense of the film. The South Indians believe the film is based on Kumbhakaran's marital life. One of the many Srinivases down South, on condition of anonymity spoke to us. "The protagonist in the film is based on Kumbhakarna. First he sleeps for 10 days. Then he sleeps for 2 years, and then for 20 years. Vonnly Kumbhakarna can do this. But this is Bollywood movie nooo. They will marry many times.... Mrs. Kumbhakaran was loyal to her husband. These Bollywood people have twisted the facts."
People from Punjab have a contrasting take on this. They believe the inappropriate cuts from Pahlaj Nihalani are responsible for the confusion.
Miss BraveAndBold spoke to our correspondent," The Censor Board is behaving like a grandmother. There are so many cuts in the film that it looks like a time travel film. Sidharth Malhotra sleeps at 40 years of age and wakes up at 60. I am sure
Karan Johar the director must have shot some scenes for that period and they have been cut off. Where is the freedom of expression?"
The common man's critic Kamal R Khan has lashed out at Karan Johar for making the film calling him a 2 Rs. film maker. "Baar baar dekho ek bar bhi nahin dekhni chahiye. Karan Johar does not know how to edit films. Pehle song, fir shadi, fir bache, fir divorce aur fir budhapa. Is film mein sab ulta pulta hai. These people are 2 Rs people."
Karan Johar has come forward to clear the confusion. He appealed to the viewers to "baar baar dekho" to understand it better. "Indians are obsessed with simplistic plots and predictable screenplays. Baar baar dekho is an attempt to change the Indian mindsets. You don't have to watch a film to understand it. You can take plenty of questions from it and discuss with your friends and in this aspect, I am proud to say that our film has pushed the envelope."
