3.5/5 - http://www.mouthshut.com/review/Dil_Bole_Hadippa-175244-1.html

Dil Bole Hadippa is a light entertainer with all formula factors (minus action) needed for a commercial film to the masses. It has 2 easily connected tracks. The first is the Lagaan & Chak De India track where the hero trying to bring success to Indian soil. The other is love angle, especially with an NRI to a Punjabi girl.

Veera (Rani Mukharji), the heroine of the film carry a dream to play for India and she believe that she is the world's greatest batsman (she hope she can open an innings with Sachin for India, one day). Her dream is not without base where she has proven record that she can challenge and score six sixes in an over. Every year there is a friendship match between India and Pakistan on the eve of Independence Day to get the Ammaan cup. Anupam Kher play the role of Rohan (Shahid Kapoor)'s father who carry the dream of winning the trophy for India but Indian team could only manage to repeat the failures. Desperate father calls his son who is a leading star in county cricket. Veera now decide to join the team as Veer Prathap Singh where she was denied entry as Veera. Rohan and Veera fall in love each other but Rohan have no idea that Veera is Veer. Watch the movie to know more of the masala flick.

Dil Bole Hadippa is a feel good movie and will be in the liking of the masses. The story is predictable from the beginning but the climax was bit different. It do not belong to the league of 'Chak De India' or 'Lagaan' or for that matter the 'Pardes' or 'DDLJ', but surely it is a good entertainer . The story was good and the director did manage to make an impression with the film. The dialogues however missed the power required in the climax. Screen play could have been better. The extended climax didn't do wonders but only give a surprise. Though the message was there all the way, the presentation otherwise was not focusing on it and when the speech was delivered in climax it only added into the length of the film. Despite this later adventure the film was entertaining all the way.

Shahid Kapoor well played his role keeping his best for the selected moments. DIL Bole Hadippa belongs to Rani Mukherji all the way. Rani simply rocks, and mind you, we don't expect nothing less than excellence from her; right? Anupam Kher did his job convincingly.

Cinematography is ok but fall short of excellence. Editing is not up to standards.

Songs of the film and its picturisation is a major plus for the film. The feel good factor is very much working in those attractive songs. They are bound to play on top of the charts.

Overall, Dil Bole Hadippa is a typical Yash Raj movie which many of us may like. Unless you have high reservations, this light entertainer is bound to entertain you. Go for it.

If you have been waiting for Dil Bole Hadippa you will surely not be dissapointed. The film starts out with Veera Kaur (Rani Mukherjee), a hardcore typical Punjabi kudi who is completely obsessed with cricket. She's so confident of her abilities that she boldly claims that she can hit six sixes in a row, even when a pro pitcher takes her up on the bet. Veera also works alongside Shanno (Rakhi Sawant) and others in a dance troupe that performs regularly. Of course, while they perform, she's backstage playing cricket with the kids, which is extremely endearing.

Story starts like this Rohan Kapoor (Shahid Kapoor) and his father Vikram Kapoor (Anupam Kher). Rohan is an accomplished cricket player in England who has lived there for many many years. Vikram somehow convinces Rohan to come to India and be by his side.

Dil Bole Hadippa! Vikram's close childhood friend, Liyaqat Ali Khan (Dilip Tahil) is from Lahore, Pakistan. To foster peace between the two nations, the friends have set up an annual Peace Cup. Vikram asks Rohan to captain the Amritsar team and lead them to victory.

When Rohan comes across Veera for the first time, her adorably bad English and her defensive patriotism catch him completely off guard. She's most definitely like no one he's met before. Veera finds out that the Amritsar cricket team is holding tryouts for selection. She gets extremely excited and runs off to become the town's new batting star. Unfortunately, when she goes to the tryout, the security guards and the rest of the men in line scoff at the notion that a woman could play cricket with them. Rani is heartbroken.

Rani realizes that she can dress up as a man and possibly fool the cricketers into letting her onto the team! Rani freaks out when she sees that the same foreign jerk who annoyed her, Rohan, is the captain. She stumbles and lies and tells him her name is Veer Pratap Singh. Veer succeeds in impressing Rohan and is accepted into the team.

After a lot of fun-filled moments between Rohan, Veera and Veer Pratap Singh, its time for the final cricket match.

We would recommend Dil Bole Hadippa as a Good Movie of Rani Mukherji after a long time. She is definitely back and it one of the most powerful comeback and Shahid after the success of Kaminey is Rocking again in the film.

Rating - 4 / 5

My friend just tweeted me from Muscat...she watched the movie today.

She said it was FULL TIME PASS...but weak storyline. She loved Shahid but Rani was not hot enough.

So she liked it?

I don't think Rani was supposed to look "hot" in the movie. Veera is just a normal punjabi kuri...not a model from Mumbai.
