Neither do I like RNBDJ.
Haven't watched Mohabbatein, so won't say anything about it.
I think Aditya Chopra plays with cliches and that has worked with the Indian audience in the past, but let's see how his cliches will fare with Befikre.
So, I would rate him a 5/10. Rest is mostly luck and timing.
You can. 😳
A lot of 'now classic' movies I don't really find the hype about it. I don't like Andaaz Apna Apna either for example. For that time and era, I feel as if 'Ishq' was so much better in so many ways. No matter how many times I watch it, I still laugh like crazy.
I don't like DDLJ either, although I do admit it's become a cult favorite kind of thing now. I would go and watch it in Maratha Mandir if I ever get the chance to visit that place.
Ironically, all the movies of SRK that have been hyped I don't like, baring Kal Ho Na Ho. That's the one movie that I think is absolutely fabulous. I, for one, differ from the majority of people who think KKHH was an awesome movie for example. All my friends are ga-ga over that movie while I think it's got an absolutely ridiculous storyline.
And of course, I actually love most of his flops - Chalte Chalte, Dil Se, Veer Zara, Swades are all in my opinion some of the best he's given. I'd also include Devdas and Chak De, but I don't believe those are actually flops per say.
I don't think Bekifre is going to go very far. Ranveer, even today, doesn't have that kind of cinema pull on his own. And that's for a good story. Bekifre just looks like a rehashed travel rom-com movie.
