The surprising thing about Siddharth Anand's Bachna Ae Haseeno is how neatly understated the humour is.
Ranbir Kapoor kicks a pebble, annoyed, only to have to apologise a second later to a girl blessedly off-screen. Much later, when his friend suggests he take his girlfriend along when he's moving to Australia, he laughs it off saying that she's an actress. 'What would she do there? Crossover films?' he grins, effectively underlining the derision a film like this has for a genre like that. Because this film is all masala.
Actually, this is all Yash Raj masala, a film based on an old song -- and an old film, to an extent, with Devsaab's great Teen Deviyaan being channeled here somewhat. Bachna constantly refers to YRF films, borrowing plot points and an entire act unashamedly from Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge, and with music from Dhoom and Jhoom Barabar Jhoom randomly kicking in, blissfully free of context.
It's a film about catapulting a finely polished 'star' to what the industry feels is his rightful spot in the firmament, and a film that makes no bones out of playing an old Kishore Kumar song a
