Baar Baar Dekho is a highly Indianized version of Adam Sandler's "Click" - with the humor quotient brought down and glycerin barrels generously dumped in. And that's not a bad thing. The original wasn't much to write home about. The sequences in the movie take place roughly in a span of 60 years and you feel each and every second of those sixty years quite distinctly in the movie making you fondly remember while exiting the auditorium the good old days of when you were driving to the auditorium that evening. Having said that, the movie manages to make you think in spite of its excruciating lethargic pace. It makes you wonder what is important in your life. There are a few brilliantly conceptualized scenes where you actually take a thing or two away for your real life too. Life's not much about the journey. Past is past. You cannot change it. Future is unknown. You cannot guess it. What you can do is to live your present the way it should be. Make the most of it. Make sure you care for your loved ones each and every moment of your life. That's the simple truth of leading a great life. That's the underlying message of the movie. It hits the home run squarely for that line of thought. The execution could have been vastly better. A lot of complex issues were dealt with in a very simplistic manner. But I am willing to let that all slide. What works for the movie is its theme, its message, a brilliant Siddharth Malhotra and a pretty face that finally manages to act - Katrina Kaif. You need a lot of patience to sit through the movie. But if you do, you come out with something sweet. Guess what! Isn't that what life is all about? |
