Movie is pretty lengthy, typical Gowarikar style but has got good reviews from its TIFF premiere.
good movie priyanka was rocking!
its a very lengthy movie, n its pretty bad!!
It’s 3 hr 31 mins!!! And it follows a similar pattern for every Rashee, Boy sees the girl, some story, a song. Imagine same pattern for every Rashee
Does the “whats your rasheeeeee” song also keep coming in for every girl???????
3.5 hrs of Harman Baweja??? Thanks but no thanks, watching Aamir, SRK or even Hrithik for 3 hrs is fine.
he he. i’d rather watch jaani dushman n love in nepal back to back.. sonu nigam rocks!!
there comes my pal … long live sonu nigam….
hey buddy how u doin? They were showing Jaani Dushman on tv some days back n this time all my energy was concentrated watching all the fine nuances of great sonu. he is worth every moment u spend on him
Arre yaar, I moved to Chicago some time back, and guess what, there was a sonu nigam show that happened right after I landed here,,, and I had no clue about it… saw an old AD today… couldnt stop laughing my head out… for an amazing singer that he is… he made sure that all I can think of is “abby: yeh seat belt kaise bandh te hain, mujhe toh pataa hi nahi”
which ad? did i miss something??
It was a print ad out here in posters … us-e dekh ke bhi hasi aa gayee…
there are 12 songs and i heard most of them are sung my Suhail sen himself. so thats almost one hour of suhail sen too.. man gowarikar is asking for too much…
here is my bet…. I think harman baweja will make it big… either as a star, or an Abhay Deol or a third league altogether… why do I say this? cuz of all the new comers he seems to be the most khamosh, underhyped dignified, and silently doing his work kinds…. and for all the negative publicity, the minute he does one good flick things are going to turn positive for him in respect to media, while all the HYPED up guys will be on the “sui ki nok” … after all in our cinemas, an actors acting is not the only thing that counts na…
but i think he resembling hritik n also he imitating Hritik gonna be a big big problem for his career.. he cant do much abt his looks but atleast he shud stop imitating his better look a like!!
one of these days some director will get it right… after all so many directors have taken the “SRK” out of actors for 15 yrs now… Shahid toh was a pakka SRK copy… now he’s better… but no distinct style of his still… come to think of it, even Hrithik had the SRK hangover in movies like Yaadein (the SRK made famous talking style… hey sonia sonia sonia, repeat everything a few times more than required…) Harman ka benefit is that he is on ground zero right now, he can only look up, and an AG on the resume and producer father, and Ajay Devgan as Dad’s pal can make a lot of difference…
hope he turns out to be as good as u r hoping to.. n i actually i dont mind him compared to zayeds, tushars n fardeens. i’m sure even vishal bhardwaj cant do much with these dhakkans..
The deal with Harman is that he is definately a recognised ‘face’ now (pun unintended) …negatively hi sahi … hai toh …he’s not even as hyped as Neil Nitin Mukesh, forget Ranbir, Imran and gang… he looks dignified, got the right girlfriend (or ex) … he’s got almost everything right to be on the right section of press, media and social circles and as I said ground zero… while ranbir and Imran can fall from the willis tower where they ve been pushed up to… all he needs is a hit and a good director, and he ‘ll maybe progress like Saif with a bit of KHNK, and Being Cyrus (not the literal examples, but more or less small and big cinemas)
in other words.. woh aur neeche nahi gir sakta
EXACTLY… harman baweja looks like uske girne ke levels mei bhi limitations hai
good for him …
I also think that he is much btter than what saif was when he debuted …with time he might get better and who knows as he’ll grow older maybe his looks would also change a bit and the whole resemblance with hrithik thing would also be forgotten … I just hope he maintains his low profile and doesn’t try to be an A-lister …fir uska bhi time aa jaayega
TAran Adarsh has given it a low rating, On the Whole.
Its same everywhere. Poor reviews galore !!
3.5 hrs and 13 songs, whew, i will watch Hum Aapke Hain Kaun again, at least it has Madhuri.
Same here, sirji.
Also I would rather watch Mr. Yogi.
I am happy there exist only 12 Rashee’s otherwise it would have been a day long film :P or ‘n’ versions of what’s your rashee !!. I am thankful to AG that he didnt give Harman baweja 12 diff looks. Any guesses why ? he would have looked and acted in same way in all the Rashee’s.
BTW… AG showed that he needs Big Stars (Aamir.SRK,Hritik,A.R) to carry his marathon movies !!
His style of Marathon movies is more suited for epic sagas, not for rom-coms.
BTW did someone notice a 5/5 rating given by someone to WYR.!! who is that cinefan ?
a spammer I guess. Removed the rating

Priyanka now to play 7 roles in VB’s next movie, is she becomming some kinda multiplicity specialist?
Suffering from multiple personality disorder it seems.
Guess the next trend wud be every 1 trying out multiple roles, only thing I am scared to see some one like Tushar Kapoor in more than 1 role.
last thing I want to see is multiple Tushars running a la Agent Smiths. Only it’ll be comedy this time.
When it comes to Multiplicity stuff, nothing to beat Sanjeev Kumar in Naye Din Nayee Raat, where he played 9 different roles, each role depicting one of the Nav Rasas( Emotions). But then Sanjeev was in a league apart.
Havent watched the full movie due to electricity hiccups.
But then Hari bhai is incomparable.
Today actors have a fetish of playing multiple roles (a certain Kamal Hasan?).
Best thing i like about Hari Bhai, is the way he effortlessly slid into every character, without shouting out “Look at me i am so great, i am so different, i am such a genius”.
Arguably the best mainstream actor in Hindi cinema.
Ah
Hari bhai was legend. I have watched almsot all his films and loved him in all.Effortless was the word for him.
Hmmm… death can be such a question arising event even till late in future…. SO! do we think if Sanjeev Kumaar was still alive, then Naseeruddin Shah would ve been the solo reciever of all the accolades and the importance that he has (read some where NS was the yang of Big B’s Ying)
if Smitha patil was alive would Shabana Azmi be in the enviable spot today?
if Divya bharti was alive, what were the chances of DDLJ having her instead of kajol, and history might ve been written differently
hmmmmmmmmmm … none of it means anything or is to take away from what these super achievers have achieved, but just a romantic thought kinds…
damn. 3.5 hrs . 13 songs. Harman Baweja? …. wow. sounds painful on paper itself. I was hoping that since Gowariker is at the helm, this would somehow turn out to be good, but looking at all the negative reviews all around,I will definitely avoid this one..:) may be will catch on dvd , sometime later, God bless the FF button on the remote !!!
Nobody has watched it. I can guess the passion when somebody like me watches it first.
Some minor SPOILERS
It’s a feminist movie (According to the ending)
Harman just fools around throughout the whole movie (According to the ending)
The probability of getting a jerk boyfriend is 1 (According to the ending)
.
Overall still a decent watch but I expect better from Gowarikar.
something between 2.5 to 3 out of 5.
i liked this movie. Movie is good coz its well researched and depicts indian girls so well. story is different and fresh.
Sorry buddy, your comment appeared too late, so I guessed it was a spam.
Who is the second one to cast his vote?
guys, PFC’s favourite and sonu nigam’s loverboy, Subash K Jha, has given WYR 3.5/5 and says its a must watch. He has some real good things to say about Herman.
I had zero expectations from the movie.To mu surprise Harman Acts, but he does not have anything to do so much, but much better than love story 2050.
Priyanka does a good job and man she looks ravishing.
The soundtrack bu Sohail is only average, given Ashu,s past Soundtracks,this is a let down.
The title track and Sue Che were best among the tracks.
The movie after a time gets repeatitive,the duration of movie is 3 hours ten minutes.
The movie to my surprise is not at all romantic comedy. it has Ashu,s stamp all over.
AG has lost it. He has become a self-involved-I-am-a-master megalomaniac. O god, what torture. Sad to see somebody who made Lagaan and Swades could make this lengthy, energy sapping affair. barring couple of songs, rest were forced, mediocre tunes. Priyanka is good in part, Harman starts awkwardly but then becomes likable. Rest of the cast does usual, tv serial type acting. Rahman was sorely missed. AG, man, if your next movie is not below 3 hours, I am going to file a public litigation against you! not kidding.
its not as bad as people are making it out to be. yes, some songs seem to be there for the sake of having a song per rashi, but on the whole, as a romcom, the movie is likeable. even the length doesnt pinch you as much as one might think it does.
A lovely movie.
You could say it’s Gowariker’s ode to Indian womanhood. He takes you to so many interesting places and characters. It needs a relaxed mindset to enjoy this movie, so very different from the hyper-edited romcoms in vogue. And it’s hilarious all through. One of the funniest movies of the year.
Priyanka Chopra is making some very interesting choices. Kaminey earlier, now this. And Hurman has done a pretty decent job here.
I’m horrified by the way the critics have mauled it. Either it’s a conspiracy or they are thoroughly cinematically challenged.
I just realised that I’m cinematically challenged :(
“Ode to Womanhood”!!! I guess all Indian women seem to be cinematically challenged.
loved the movie…all songs are good and you don’t have to bang your head or FF on any of them
If you are thinking abt getting married ..see this movie!!!
the movie is abt one of the biggest problem middle class youth faces in arrange marriages…
it will at least prepare youth to understand problems with choosing girl in an hour…
the situations are so real ..the girls characters are so real and life like. The songs are good.And Both priyanka and harman acts good. The dance song “Wakao” is so superb but nobody discusses it.
I was reluctant to see a harman baweja movie but its a surprise!!
Its different. Critics who are rating this movie poorly are people who did not study logic as subject in college…
I think there are better things (like books) out there on the subject matter.
After the movie finished, I looked around to see the other audiences, It didn’t occur to me that any girl in the theatre (in my view) looked like the girls in the movie, even parents seem to be quite different.Isn’t it ironic that the people who are depicted in the movie don’t even bother to watch it.
I have already realised I’m cinematically challenged. Plz don’t hammer that fact again and again by showering praises on WYR. It pains!!!!
The movie is relaxing with no tensions and emotions as someone mentioned in this thread.
I give it 3 stars out of 5.
Its far better than Wanted and all that crap movies coming out every day. I had watched this movie in theater and its worth watching.
Anyways, more than half of the songs in WYR are good and it was good to see like 12 characters.
Haven’t yet seen the film. Needless to say “I didn’t find the TIME for it!” LOL. sorry couldn’t resist.
If only the movie had lesser songs, it would have been great…
as soon as Yogesh landed in India, Jeetu bhai asked him – to mere liye kya laya hain? 
it had good light-hearted clean comedy…Jeetu-bhai especially was very good
It was nothing but Mr.Yogi redefined.The songs are certainly good ( though one too many ) and surprisingly Harman isnt too bad.But its a Priyanka show all the way.
