Rain: A Sublime Love Story-480P

They are both women. Bipasha and Priyanka at their prime. Wow. Bobby Deol's character is perhaps the most poorly written male character of all time. Nothing makes sense and he lacks conviction. The stale emotionless performance by non actor Bobby Deol only serves to make matters worse. No charisma whatsoever. Plot is stupid. Young, rich, fit, beautiful women don't chase poor mediocre men like Bobby Deol (wasn't he working as a mechanic?) around the city and get them their dream job designing cars at BMW. An indian working America has a near dime wife they never communicate with and forgot about back home? Yeah right. Fact is this financially poor guy, who is utterly devoid of any charm or personality whatsoever, could manage to land one of these women, let alone both, is completely unbelievable. And they're throwing themselves at him throughout the movie for no apparent reason besides his existence? Music is decent, didn't fast forward through any songs.

Within the framework of the cliched love triangle Barsaat tries to stand out by etching out distinct emotional trajectories for the two heroines. All else is routine kitsch. Bobby is portrayed as the weak-willed hero who wants to have his cake and eat it too. Bipasha pulls wool over his eyes when she is attracted to him, and uses her pull to get him a top position at her grand dad's BMW factory. Bobby's lack of self respect rather than his greed is what stands out as he agrees to walk down the aisle with her! Bipasha stays true to her character and 'nobly' renounces him on discovering his subliminal indecision to divorce Priyanka! Priyanka has the more author backed role of the three despite making an entry almost an hour into the movie. Unwilling to divorce Bobby, she gives it all she has, to retain him. Yet she grants him his divorce when he confesses he has no love for her. The last scene where Bobby blames her for not recognizing he loves her back despite what he told her is ridiculous and only solidifies his weak character! I thought there was a plot point that was either dropped or not utilized - Bipasha has lost both her parents and been brought up by her grand dad (Shakti Kapoor!); Priyanka has also lost both her parents and been brought up by her grand mom (Farida Jalal!) I half expected them to be long lost sisters and Shakti-Farida o be an estranged couple! But the director did not seem to think so! Bobby somnambulates through his routine Jeetendra-ish role and relies on his natural good looks to work the charm. Bips gets and on the nerves when she is tired of showing off her fab body ion itsy bitsy clothes to prove her 'westernized' role. Priyanka show the beginnings of her blossoming career as the quintessential hindi film heroine she would become during the next few years with Don, Fashion and Dostana. The supporting cast is wasted. The visuals are pleasing. Nadeem Shravan's music sounds familiar like they reused their 90s tunes.

I watched this movie on 12 oct 2013 and found it really pleasing. Nice story and pain is beautifully portrayed by actors. Sometimes I felt that the story is bookish, but as I have felt such things... like "Jb hum mile the tb bhi brsaat ho rhi thi aur aaj bhi brsaat ho rhi hai"... but the thing is that,, I have also felt such situations which looks like bookish but they happen in real when you love someone truly... So I don't consider that a bookish thing.... I liked the concept and this movie left an open question....... 1) If Kajal truly loved Aarav, she won him..... 2) Aarav loved Kajal that's why he went again to his wife..... 3) Aarav loved Anna.... Also Anna loved him by true heart.. then why fate decided to play with Anna... We truly love but sometimes we don't get the one we love... its not that Anna's love was lesser than Kajal.. both were very good and loved aarav from bottom of heart.. but fate decided to give Aarav to Kajal... and left Anna in pain.... Anna said in the end....... "Aarav loves me a lot.. its just he loves Kajal a little more". I hold my wife with tears in eyes.....

When everyone kept going on and on about how original this movie was I thought to myself, maybe it's worth checking out. Wrong, I should have ignored that thought and never have watched it. While the music is pretty good and I did enjoy it the movie was very unoriginal. I had not read anything about this movie and because I don't have time hadn't even seen too many trailers for it. Within the first few minutes of the movie I was like "Sweet Home Alabama". The beginning is almost EXACTLY like that movie with the dream sequence and the rest of the movie doesn't disappoint in 'borrowing' many other aspects from the film. They may have changed some aspects of it to fit a more traditional Indian storyline but it's practically the same. Difference, well instead of one girl and two guys this one has two girls and one guy, and the major difference, Reese Witherspoon, Josh Lucas and Patrick Dempsey are much better on the acting scale. I was hoping this one would be different but it's just another disappointment as are most Hindi films that are ripped off from English ones. I found this movie boring and predictable.

. This is my first Darshan movie -- and last -- unless it stars Bobby (Dosti is next). . Don't think I've seen a recent movie so indifferently directed, scripted, and lensed. Photography in particular is off-putting. Flat-lighting, out-of-focus, grainy film-stock, etc... movie looks like it was shot in 1978. . The mise-en-scene is haphazard, the actors don't look as if they got much in the way of direction from Darshan. . Script is strictly by-the-number. Lacks internal logic. The situations are contrived (too many coincidences, etc...) and the characters' motivations are questionable (and predictable). The dialogue must be the worst part -- very clichéd, too much irrelevant banter, attempts at comic relief fall flat. . Random song placement -- they follow each other without much contextual logic -- and the picturization of songs doesn't take full-advantage of potential opportunities. That said, the music is enjoyable and Bipasha and Priyanka make for nice eye-candy. The Nakhre, Saajan Saajan, and Barsaat Ke Din Aaye songs are best. . The saving graces of the movie are the actors, who try their best to imbue their sketchy characters with any semblance of life. Bobby looks like a million bucks. He is his usual earnest self and does his damned best to make his Arav ring true, but the character does come off as unlikeable in the end due to the awkward changes of heart the script dictates. The "ravishing" (trailer quote) Bipasha looks ravishing indeed -- the best I've seen her look thus far -- and that's saying a lot! This is strictly a look-pretty kind of roles as she doesn't have much to do acting-wise. Unlike most, I like the "sensuous" Priyanka in her role. I did not find her "amateurish" as some have said. She had the most difficult role of the lot as it required her to go through a gamut of emotions, something she achieved quite well in my opinion. I find her truly lovely, very feminine, very soft-spoken, a good contrast to Bipasha's more "modern" city girl. On the whole, the film is too breezy (read: desultory) to leave much of a mark and is instantly forgotten once one is out of the theater.

Plot Outline: Aarav (Bobby Deol) is a Car Designer looking for an opportunity in the US. He meets his destiny Anna (Bips), the sole heiress to BMW's Chief (Shakti Kapoor) who gives him the needed break. Eventually both fall in love and get engaged. He returns to India to erase his past marriage with Kajal (Priyanka Chopra) who knows nothing except loving Aarav. Rest is Bollywood drama of Aarav's choice between the two girls and his career. Comment: Oh Boy! What a movie! When did Americans start driving on the left side of the Road? Or didn't they find anybody better than the Moron Shakti Kapoor to play BMW Chief? The guys in Germany must be pulling their hair apart. Another startling revelation from Suneel Darshan is that there's no equivalent word for 'Divorce' in Hindi. During a game in the movie, Priyanka asks "What's the Hindi word for divorce?" Bobby Deol replies "Talaq'". Priyanka says "Nope, Talaq is an Urdu word. We don't have a Hindi word for divorce because the concept is alien to our culture." Bobby loses the bet (which is a kiss) it and then there's song and dance again. What Trash! The movie is called a 'sublime love story', while it is actually a confusion of an emotional drama. Bobby fits the bill to play the confused guy who during 10 years in a boarding school never saw home, and returns home for just 48 hours, gets married to Priyanka and then flies to USA. What more, Priyanka builds an export business worth crores surprising Aarav. Priyanka who's at her best should've steered away from this apology of a movie. Bipasha fits into the glam-girl/sob-girl role well. Shakti Kapoor, Ha-ha, lesser said the better. Music is passable barring Barsat Ke Din and Nakhre which too are plain. Rating: 1.5/5

Assalam-O-Alaikum, Just watched Bobby Deol's New movie 'BARSAAT', it touched my heart, just not because of Bobby, but the story, true feelings for love, sacrifice, songs, screen-play, direction. 'BARSAAT' is a light romantic film with drama, emotions, and nice songs. It feels good to see Bobby in a light romantic film, he is just brilliant with his performances. Bobby did romantic films in the past like; ...AUR PYAAR HO GAYA, KAREEB, and DILLAGI. Those movies were really good, and I enjoyed a lot watching those, Bobby was Superb in those. I don't know why those movies were not appreciated? it is just because critics cannot digest Bobby in romantic films. Well, who the hell cares about what the critics state? All I want to say is that I have never seen Bobby b/f in any film like this. I would say that Akshay Kumar could not deliver the performances in 'BARSAAT' which Bobby has. Bobby was meant to do 'BARSAAT'. The story, screen-play of the movie is interesting. The Director has shown the love of 2 women for a man. One is born, and grown-up in Foreign, while the other one is born, and grown-up in India. The culture, traditions, and customs are different, but, the feelings for love are same. You will have to see the movie to find out who gets Bobby? either Bipasha, or Priyanka, obviously one has to sacrifice. Songs are great, nice, melodious, sweet-sounding, and already caught the attention of audience from the very first day. I have seen Suneel Darshan's previous films, but his direction in this film is awesome. It won't be wrong to state that this is Suneel Darshan's best direction to date. Bobby is just simply brilliant with his acting, vocals, dressing, and looks. It seems that Bobby was meant to do 'BARSAAT'. He performs like a seasoned performer and delivers a knockout performance. In fact, it won't be wrong to state that this is amongst Bobby's best performance to date after 'BARDAASHT'. Priyanka is surprise package in the film, she impresses with her performances. This film breaks her modern image. She looks pretty, nice, and beautiful in Salwaar Kameez. Bipasha is also good. She performs well. On the whole, 'BARSAAT' is a family entertainer. It is a very beautiful made film with great feelings for love. It is something to watch. It has all; Drama, Comedy, Emotions, Nice Songs, Romance, and Outstanding performances by Actors. Go, and Watch, u will enjoy it, don't believe what the critics state, remember SEEING IS BELIEVING, You won't be disappointed. Allah Haafiz. Zeeshan Kazi - A BOBBY DEOL DIE HARD FAN.

Barsaat review : Bobby Deol must be the only actor to have two Barsaats in his resumè - the first one was his debut release in 1995 with Twinkle Khanna while this one, released ten years later, had two beauties - Bipasha Basu and Priyanka Chopra - cast opposite him. Written, produced and directed by Suneel Darshan, Barsaat was an unusual love triangle where Bobby falls in love with the richie rich NRI Bipasha Basu even though he has a wifey (Priyanka) secretly tucked away in India. He visits India to seek divorce from her, wifey refuses, Bobby now falls for wifey. The triangle thickens... Two things stand out in the otherwise average film : One is some melodious tunes composed by Nadeem Shravan specially the title song and the second and most important is Bipasha looking absolutely hot and sexy in each and every frame she appears in. Truly, it is Bipasha who makes Barsaat bearable to a significant extent. I had seen the film at Dadar's Plaza Cinema with a huge hoarding of the rain drenched leads at the entrance. It was actually raining that day and I came out humming the song "Barsaat Ke din aaye.." Regards, Sumeet Nadkarni.
