Movie review: Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani,Ranbir, Deepika chemistry works

Rating: *** 1/2The adulthood is really crazy. The schools and college days are so blithe that we never will to take our future solemnly but just want that phase to freeze and never melt. But ultimately you realize that this is just a phase and the future depends on lot more over the decisions taken today.Ayan Mukerji had directed earlier ‘Wake up Sid' which was really a wakeup call for many who were born with a silver spoon. Having no goals is life and just cashing in the parent's money was the two most prominent significance of life put forth in the flick.The Director this time has returned with yet another crazy dramatic feature which presents numerous shades of life and undoubtedly without mashing all the ingredients clears its message at last. Though predictable and comparable, but it has its share of happiness and moral in the end.Three best pals Bunny (Ranbir Kapoor), Avi (Aditya Roy Kapoor) and Aditi (Kalki Koechlin) plans an adventurous holiday trip to mesmerizing valleys of Manali which also tempts Naina (Deepika Padukone) to join them.Bunny is videographer and also a travel freak. Avi has no aim is life and apart from Bunny and Aditi, his other best friend in Liquor. He plans to run a bar inspite of cutomers he is more into intoxicating world which also leads his into a big loss. Aditi is a tom boy who regrets nothing and fears less.Naina is a shy but the only focused girl among the four. Their journey apart from being enjoyable is an attempt of how you rediscover and explore yourself.Director Ayan Mukerji brings out the juicy funny journey of the two main leads that are apart. You would try hard not to compare with Ayan's debut flick but ultimately will fall into it.Ranbir is promoted from a photographer to videographer here. He is more energized and an unconquerable spirit of adventure.Deepika is claustrophobic girl who with Ranbir breaks the shallow door of shyness later and comes out as free spirited independent girl.But that is one side of the coin. Ayan seduces you with the already witnessed transformation and craziness by couple's believable performance.If we you won't recall Dil Chahta Hai, Rang De Basanti, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Kai Po Che while witnessing Ayan's four friend drama, then it would be only because you would willing to find something innovative from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, and here Ayan doesn't disappoints you.After interval Ayan captures Bunny's fast moving travel world in USA and shifts its camera to Udaipur city of Rajasthan where Aditi is gonna tie her knot. Here's a surprise waiting for you and undoubtedly is exciting. Thanks to the cinematographer V. Manikandan who presents the beauty of sunny city with grace.Leaving else apart, the mature handling about making choice between your loved ones and your lovable job is where Ayan triumphs.However, the predictable love chaos between Bunny and Aditi is what you try to avoid in the final hours of the flick If there is any flaw its papered with Deepika-Ranbir's chemistry which is revisited after Bachna Ae Haseeno. Ayan captures the romance of the duo beautifully.Their chemistry does work which excited us earlier and surely millions of you too. Ranbir Kapoor is truly the heart of the flick. He instills Bunny's character with so much energy and craziness that you find yourself in him. Not an inch he misses his expression. He truly makes a space in your heart.Deepika Padukone brings out a fresh air of shyness and reserved Naina. The transformation from a hush hush lady to dependable person is rooted with perfection.Though it's mainly these two actors show all over but Kalki too does make a mark. As a rowdy tom boy and audacious Avi, Kalki makes every bit of her character lively.Aditya Roy Kapoor as an immature spoilt brat is good. But we still consider his ‘Aashiqui 2' performance as his best performance till date. Kalki and Aditya are humorous at occasions.Dolly Ahluwalia cameo appearance as Deepika's mum is amusing.The killer tunes by Pritam Chakraborty are already topping the charts and is a winner. Since the launch of its music every song has a unique feature in it.All situational and all are peppy. While the complete album is high on energy, the Battameez dil, Kabira and Dilli wali girlfriend tracks are the pick from it. And you would surely whistle on Madhuri slaying moves over Ghagra music.Cinematography by V. Manikandan is brilliant. The mesmerizing locations mostly in hilly areas are beautifully captured and framed with perfection.I'll go with 3.5 stars for ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' which has a feel good fresh outing, not just bracketed for youngsters but for all ages.
