An inopportune meeting gets them together on a chaotic partnership and while trying to set up their business together, they discover they are truly, deeply, madly in love.It is interesting to see two conflicting, mismatched characters clubbed together in a flick that does nothing but play on their sparkling chemistry. This film, which parks its plot in ‘opposites attract’ blueprint woos you with its novel presentation. The writing is crisp, the plot thoroughly absorbing, and the sequence mind boggling. The film has its flaws and a fair share of flaccid and drooping moments. However, what really saves this film from going sour is the chemistry between the lead pair.
Debutante Ranveer Singh pulls off a great feat with his role of an uncouth but good-hearted small town slacker. This youngster amazes in his role of an unsophisticated, street-smart guy who doesn’t mind speaking even with his mouth full. Anushka as a typical Delhi Punjabi girl lives up to her role with super-energy.
Writer and director Maneesh Sharma makes a brilliant debut with “Band Baaja Baaraat”. Habib Faisal wonderfully pens the screenplay. The frolicking lively scores by Salim-Sulaiman hardly fails to strike a note. On the whole, “Band Baaja Baaraat” woos you with its appealing plot, dexterous execution and most importantly, its lively characters.
The supporting stars like Neeraj Sood (as Maqsoodbhai), Manmeet Singh Sawhney (as Rajinder) and Manish Chaudhari (as Mr. Sidhwani) are exceptionally good in their roles. Band Baaja Baaraat bets on its protagonists to pull off a great show and it does deliver the goods to everyone’s surprise. With a crisp screenplay, perfect execution and commendable performance, the film steers to the audience’s heart quite successfully. On a whole, great watch!

An unusual and unfortunate meeting takes the two to a hilarious and gleeful journey, as they begin a wedding planning business together. But, their rules are clear “Jisse vyapaar karo, usse kabhi na pyaar karo”, a.k.a “Don’t mix business with pleasure”.

Come, be a part of the romance, fun, and frolic of the lavish Delhi weddings on 10th December, 2010 when ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’ releases.
