STORY
Babli (Ranbir Kapoor) is a car thief who steals expensive cars with haath ki safai. An orphan, who has lived without familial love, finds warmth in the fellow orphans at his orphanage. His life sees a diametrical change when he falls in love with the feisty Tara (Pallavi Sharda). Despite multiple attempts to woo his lady love, the man is rejected every time till he ends up stealing Tara’s newly bought Mercedes.
For the first time he feels sore at a theft and is hell bent on returning her car back to her which leads him back to the notorious Hawala King Chandela( Javed Jaaferi ). In the attempt to get the car back, he steals a bag full of the gangster’s money.
With the cops – Chulbul( Rishi Kapoor ) and Bulbul Chautala(Neetu Singh Kapoor ) behind him and Chandela hounding him, will Babli be able to escape the sticky situation and still manage to win over his lady love?
STARCAST
Ranbir Kapoor is earnest and brilliant as Babli. He doesn’t falter and perfects whatever he was meant to play with excellence. The guy proves his versatility, quick sense of comic timing and flair to deliver skillfully and uncompromisingly.
Pallavi Sharda is average with a pleasant screen presence. There is barely anything vastly impressive to mention about her.
Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh Kapoor make a lovable pair with their fascinating chemistry. It is a wonder how the two look so perfectly compatible on screen. Playing cops Chulbul and Bulbul Chautala, these are roles that neither have ever played. While Neetu Kapoor sets guns ablaze with a robust quality! Rishi Kapoor does Sunny Deol’s Gadar scene with humorously exciting bent!
Javed Jaaferi doesn’t manage much to his rescue in the film! He could have been superlative but the screenplay doesn’t accommodate him well.
Direction / Music / Lyrics /Editing / Camera:
Abhinav Singh Kashyap had shown us better mettle last time for sure which resulted in sky rocketing expectations from him! Besharam is plagued on multiple levels with lazy writing and shabby editing. It isn’t lucid and hence the conveyed impact is heavily diluted.
The screenplay wobbles between Babli’s profession, his love and the film’s crux that could have been used more interestingly. What happens to stolen cars and how they are dealt off was a brilliant idea which was used so sketchily that the originality of the idea itself could easily be missed.
I had better expectations from the climax but the inherent flaws in the writing fails to dish out the robustness that usually concludes such films.
There are too many songs in the film that at a point it was almost the difference of a blink between. Lalit Pandit with his 90s musical flavor does a competent job.
