Mohit is a marketing whiz kid vying for a step up the career ladder. Mayera is a financial brain with a penchant for shoes. They're a young middle-class corporate couple that's ambitious and likes the good life too. They work hard, they party hard. They're also passionately in love with each other. Their belief: You can live on love and fresh air. Their obstacle: Mayera's willful bureaucratic father V.K Sehgal. The obstinate old man believes that only a rich man can bring Mayera happiness and a mid-level executive like Mohit simply isn't good enough! Exactly how fragile are relationships in these times where consumer lifestyles dictate their very nature and intensity? Who gets the last laugh when recession strikes and the lack of money tests love... credit-card-junkies private-sector Mohit-Mayera; or safe-playing sarkari, V.K. Sehgal? Written by Yash Raj Films
'Bewakoofiyaan' is A One-Time Watch! It has some charming moments, which stand out. However, a inconsistent second-hour plays a spoilsport.
'Bewakoofiyaan' Synopsis: A hardworking guy, after losing his job, finds it difficult to deal with his materialistic girlfriend & her nagging father.
'Bewakoofiyaan' has an entertaining first-hour, which genuinely works. The sequences with the protagonist & his girlfriend's nagging father are interesting. Even the romantic-track has a charm to it. But, the second-hour is below the mark. Its consistent & sluggish.
Habib Faisal's Story has merits in the first-hour, but fails to engage in its second-hour. Nupur Asthana's Direction is fair. Cinematography is claustrophobic. Editing is average. Music by Raghu Dixit is ordinary.
Performance-Wise: Ayushmann Khurrana is fantastic. He's the best thing about this film. Sonam Kapoor looks sexy, but impresses only in some scenes. Rishi Kapoor is first-rate as the nagging father.
On the whole, 'Bewakoofiyaan' works, but only in parts.
