An year ago, one could only think of Khans as the Superstars of bollywood, but then suddenly a young, charming as well as talented actor came and changed the equation. Ranbeer Kapoor has always been my favorite, reason being his sense of choosing the scripts. He has always taken nice scripts right from 'Wake up sid' , ' Rocketsingh', 'Rajneeti', 'Rockstar' and my all time favourite "Barfi', but as they say heavy paychecks can make the most talented people do the cheapest things one can imagine. Directed by Abhinav Kashyap who has previously directed 'Dabangg', 'Besharam' is nothing but one more masala flick which lowers the standard of bollywood.
Babli (Ranbeer Kapoor), is a thief who steals cars and sell them to earn money, and like our bollywood heroes, he is the man with a golden heart who gives all the money to the orphanage he lives in. He meets Taara(Pallavi Sharda) a middle class girl who lives with her mother, and falls in love with her. By mistake, Babli steals Tara's car and when she get to know this, Babli promises her that he will bring the car back and leave all the illegal things that he does.
Besharam, is the height of bollywood stereotypism, there is nothing that we haven't seen before,and what makes it worse is the direction. Even though Abhinav Kashyap's first outing 'Dabangg' was not a good film by any means but it was way better then what Besharam is. Dialogs are bad, jokes don't work, songs are boring and too many.
Talking about performances, Ranbeer tried to enter into the Salmaan Zone, but forgot to read the warning "Only for brainless people", though the actor tried very hard to look convincing, but the story and the characterization was so weak that it did not go to the level that we expect from Ranbeer. Pallavi Sharda is a complete misfit, she has had one angry look throughout the movie, even in the romantic scenes. Rishi Kapoor as inspector Chulbul Chautala is as always brilliant, I wonder what made him work on such a pathetic script. Neetu Singh Kapoor is top notch as the cunning wife. Javed Jaffery as the bad guy is very good as well.
'Besharam' is the biggest disappointment of the year so far, it had a mediocre director, a super talented main lead and a wonderful supporting cast but what came out on screen is a senseless, idiotic piece of cinema that we all have witnessed many times before. Do yourself a favor, stay away from this one even if someone gives you a free ticket.
