'Ramaiya Vastavaiya' review: Nothing short of a fairy tale!
After a span of unconventional love stories like 'Raanjhanaa' and 'Lootera', here is a typical romantic flick which has a storyline seen in many, many movies before. The movie revolves around "love" – brotherly love, sisterly love and love between two people who are attracted to each other. Sonu Sood – who plays an over-protective brother – takes care of his sister Sona, played by Shruti Hassan, after their mother dies. Raghuvir – played by Sonu – educates his sister and never lets anything or anybody hurt her. All he desires is to find a down to earth guy who can keep his sister happy in their own village.However, as luck would have it, she falls in love with an NRI, Ram – played by Girish Kumar - whom she meets at her best friend's wedding. Then starts the typical love-hate relationship, which actually culminates into proper head-over-heels, let's grow old together kind of love. After having delivered "macho" movies like 'Wanted' and 'Rowdy Rathore', Prabhu Deva has done a fair job with 'Ramaiya Vastavaiya', but it has nothing new which has not yet been seen before.
Alas, there is one thing that has not been seen ever before – a villain who speaks just one sentence in the entire movie. There is a lot of commotion because the bad guy wants to marry the good and beautiful girl, but the bad guy never mouths these words himself – not once! same pace and with the same emotion no matter what the scene is. As for Girish Kumar – who has debuted with this movie – India may have literally found a "jumping jack". Whether he's dancing, or flirting or just walking, he is always "jumpy" about it. Sonu Sood, on the other hand, does manage to portray a farmer to perfection – from his clothes to the way he speaks.
Shruti hassan looks like a Princess and acts well too.
Poonam Dhillon - Ram's mother – plays a woman obsessed with money and her status, while Randhir Kapoor – Ram's father – doesn't have much of a role apart from playing a husband petrified by the very look of his wife.
Paresh Ganatra – who plays Bijli - walks away with the cake for his comic timing. He manages to make the audience laugh each time he makes an entry – be it a light hearted scene or emotional. such a nice movie...watch it
score 10/10
