The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

This was the first Bollywood movie I ever saw, so maybe I'm a bit biased. But even after watching it multiple times, I still say that this is one of my favorite Bollywood movies. Its cheesy as hell for sure, but its also the total package- it's got romance, comedy, crime, action, killer music, great performances. Rani Mukerji is the best! Overall a great feel-good movie.

The summary plot of this movie is fascinating. However the outcome of the movie itself is damn idiot ! The matter of Indian (Bonnie and Clyde) who love being famous, with Amitabh Bachchan chasing them then ends up forgiving them could have made a good heist, thriller, musical comedy, with sentimental side indeed. But (Abhishek Bachchan) was there, along with belittlement too, albeit (Abhishek) alone is enough !(Abhishek) has a mute charisma, and – most importantly – CAN'T ACT AT ALL. During the whole movie I couldn't stand him on screen doing anything, spending the time cursing him, waiting him to act the way anybody would wait for having water out of squeezing a stone ! It was bad experience, especially while having The Big B himself around. I mean the comparison was horrible, enough to recall the long one-shot scene with them both talking and moving like drunks where one was doing the job effortlessly and one wasn't doing it at all. Another problem concerning the presence of Bachchan senior which's the tragedy of him being responsible of pushing his son into the showbiz, and – sorrowfully – his birth in this world in the first place !The bore was powerful. The thickness of the numbers turned the movie into an exhausting series of music videos. While being basically a comedy, the dialog was no lighthearted. The "jobs" of the 2 leads weren't interesting by any mean. The last heist was so fabricated to achieve a chase anyway. Review its disasters with me: the coincidence of Bunty and Babli meeting the officer who, by coincidence too, forgot his ID with them, after, at short notice, he became the head of security in the airport which, coincidently at another short notice, has a gold to be transported, which attracts the 2 leads to steal it while the delivery of Babli's baby happens ALL AT ONCE !Then a list of "hows"; how Babli could move that easily after the delivery? How (Prem Chopra), the lorry's deriver, provided the 2 fugitive leads with disguise that easily (and speedily?), and the most of all; how the officer could be waiting for the 2 leads in the train station BEFORE THEIR ARRIVAL ???!!! (How he knew their target place? How he managed to precede them?...). Well, this is why ladies and gentlemen we, in Egypt, name anything extremely unbelievable in our daily life : an "Indian movie." The thing is, we used to say it about their very movies before…however with pleasure !The character of (Amitabh) wasn't made well. The sound effect, which alerts about new scheme, was so annoying and repeated for unbearable many times. The try of impersonating Amitabh Bachchan's naive persona, from movies like Don, by his son was so pathetic. Speaking about naive, what the heck that ending was? Were the movie makers that optimistic to think that they made a hit which could spawn a sequel ???? Yet, nothing, and I mean nothing, can outclass the embarrassment of (Kajra Rethe); the number of (Amitabh Bachchan), (Abhishek Bachchan), and (Aishwarya Rai) together; that was unnecessary and ENDLESSLY LONG. I bet they wanted to gather the family of stars (the father, his terrible son and the last's wife) in one song anyway anyhow, even that served no one any good !Some moments assure that we have a talented director. For instance; the short scene of (Amitabh Bachchan) studying the 2 lead's way of thinking in their room seemed lovely and tangent with the supposed comic spirit of the whole thing. But that was used miserably with nearly awful script, and utterly awful lead !The survivors : After copious career, it's rare to see (Ranjeet) nowadays. He did, for instance, 16 movies in 1984 to only (Bunty Aur Babli) in 2005. Hence seeing him even in a cameo, as the store owner, is a delight before brining a lot of memories. Add to that (Chup Chup Ke); it was nicely scored and shot. And (Rani Mukherjee); no doubt she chewed up the scenery with her true acting and beauty. I have never seen her sexier yet. Some outfits were outrageous for an Indian star, and the fact that (Mukherjee) was in them was the only fact in this fake parade of luster.It's a show that wanted us to have a good time. I didn't. I deplored instead, feeling sad for : a talented-less actor of a talented star, a talented-less actor who stars a movie, a talented-less actor who has a mega-exaggerated chance that many talented ones wouldn't, and finally a possible good movie that didn't happen ! P.S : Seeing (Amitabh Bachchan) ending the movie with the rap song (B N B), having naked girls dancing hip hop around him, was ugly, rather deformed thing. The marriage of his image and Shaggy's one didn't work. The Indian cinema's borrowing from the MTV ended up this time as disgraceful beggary !

This film was not bad, but it was not excellent either. The last quarter of the film was so botched that it makes you wonder if it was the same writer who wrote the beginning and middle who also wrote the end. It was such a shame to see such an upbeat riotous fun film go down with a clunk like that. Nevertheless, it was a hit at the box office and the Rani + Abhishek show proved to still hold heat. They play a couple of oddly matched lovers who go on a Robinhood type of crime spree through various parts of India, when they don't get their way in life and elude authorities for as long as they can. Personally, Amitabh Bachchan was wasted in his role as the police detective on their trail, to the point that someone as lovable as him gets annoying after a while. His role was overblown and not needed, to be frank. Aishwarya Rai shows up towards the last quarter of the film, to add some much needed spice to the now dragging on plot with her item number 'Kajra re' which she does stunningly well but not enough to save the rapidly souring storyline. Perhaps they should have included her in the script as a distraction for Amitabh's character, I don't know but at that point I'm thinking anything would have worked. I enjoyed the film, but it could have used a better plot twist and not to mention a better ending. Note to director: Never remake something you can't make better!

Bunty & Babli....an amazing movie by Shaad Ali.Abhishek Bachchan is simply to cute & is absolutely fantastic in the movie. Rani Mukherjee n the others are also good.Ahhishek & Rani sizzle in the movie together. They make the most cutest couple on screen & look good together! There has been an overdose of Amitabh in recent times, though the father-son scenes really touch your heart.I definitely give this movie 10/10. Shaad Ali has made another brilliant movie after Saathiya!The songs are also rocking. Dhadak Dhadak & Nach baliye rock the nation. A soft romantic number is Chupke se...makes you think of your loved one!Shankar, Ehsaan & Loy have once again done a superb job in the music area...Top of the Charts truly!
