Band Baaja Baaraat is the story of Shruti (Anushka Sharma), a final year student who wants to be a wedding planner. She's so ambitious and determined, that she has even fixed the name of her company, 'Shaadi Mubarak'. She meets Bitoo (Ranveer Singh), a chilled out college student who doesn't know what to do in life, at a wedding he has gate crashed into for food. Despite their contrasting personalities, they soon become friends and after sometime later even partners in their wedding planning business. Shruti's rule is simple: Jisse vyapaar karo, usse kabhi na pyaar karo. Their business grows along with their relationship. Shruti breaks her own rule and starts loving Bitoo. (Source: Glamsham)

This is a first one of these for me

Chemistry: 100/10...they set the screen on fire😈
Music: About 6/10...the only one I liked was Ainvayi Ainvayi

What was great about this film was that both leads held up their own with characters that went through life-changing experiences and emotions. When this film first came out, everyone thought that Anushka would have the powerhouse performance since she was familiar with shooting films...but Ranveer really nailed his role! He commanded the audience's attention the moment he went on screen which was so refreshing to see. Both Anushka and Ranveer really went to great lengths to show emotional depths in both of their characters.

My favorite scene would be the part right after they spend the night where Shruti fights with Bittoo the next day and cries...Anushka's crying was so raw and real. She did it hideously instead of doing that 'dainty crying' where her makeup wasn't marred. It looked like how a real sad person would cry instead of an actress's version

Bittoo was a hilarious character overall but Ranveer totally did him justice with the nice guy and angry guy roles...another favorite scene of mine was the part where he was coming up with a name for his wedding planning business and came up with "Shruti Kakkar's SHaadi Mubarak"😆

This was such a perfect movie, it didnt have the wannabe feel that most bollywood movies have these days. It was so Indian, dialogues were brilliant, cinematography was so colourful, writing was genius, characters were well written and perfectly executed. It is one of my most favourite bollywood movies now. After Vidya Balan's debut in Parineeta, only Ranveer Singh's debut acting has been able to impress me with his raw and natural expressions. He has an amazing screen presence and such a powerful dialogue delivery. Brilliant movie!

Yeah I love these topics. Thanks for bringing it back.

Out of 10, what would you rate the film?

8.5/10 reason for not giving it a 9 or higher is because I didn't think Bittu loved shurti at the end. I wasn't sure about why he wanted her and he seems unsure too. I also felt the film was a bit boring in some parts. But overall, one of the best films that came out in the past year. I liked once upon a time in mumbia better than BBB though.

How were the performances, chemistry between the lead pair?

Was really blown away with Anuska. I thought she was kind of boring in her first film. I liked her in her second film. But I was never her fan. When I saw BBB, got blown away by her natural performance and became a fan. And Ranveer was aaawesome for a new comer. He didn't at all get overshadowed by the experienced anuska. Best debutant from an actor I have seen since ages.

The chemistry was awesome.

Music?

Music was good but not great. My only absolute favorite song is ainvayi ainvayi. Others are okay.

Favorite scene?

hmmm I don't know.

So I'm too lazy to type everything [I'm on my iPod] 🤣

Anyways, movie = 10/10, music = 10/10

And I LOVE this movie! I've seen it 5 times every since it has been released! And must I say I have fallen in love with Bittoo Sharma 😆 The chemistry between these two is amazing! Both Ranveer and Anushka are amazing actors!

10/10 definitely I absolutely loved this film and one of the best films I have seen in a very longgg time!! YEAH!! I rate this film highly it was just amazing everything about it I loved it.

How were the performances, chemistry between the lead pair?

Anushka completely did a solid fantastic performance she was just amazing I literally enjoyed watching her onscreen and she was just so confident. She was just amazing. Ranveer was brilliant and to think it was his first film he did a fantastic job it was great. Their chemistry between Anushka and Ranveer was just so hot...it was amazing they literally set the house on fire I mean she and him aaah it was so good.

Music?

I loved the songs, it was different and my favourite is Aadha Ishq because it's a sweet romantic song and the picturisation of the song was so good it was beautiful. Ainvayi Ainvayi is another song I enjoyed and it was just a typical wedding song and I loved the dance routine to it and Sunidhi Chauhan did a great job. I also liked Dum Dum Mast Hai especially the remix version it was great music overall.

Favorite scene?

I think the kiss scene was just amazing and the sex scene was really hot. It showed the natural chemistry they had with each other and it was beautiful.

Feel free to add more

I think this film was something that Bollywood are known for it had songs, dance, happiness, sadness everything and I actually missed these kind of films and I was glad to see they brought it back with BBB because this film was just amazing and I am so glad I have it on Blu Ray, there are absolutely no flaws about this film because everything was just great and I had such an amazing time watching it.

6.5/10 - The only reason is that according to me, the film is overrated.

How were the performances, chemistry between the lead pair?

Anushka Sharma stole the limelight. She has outdone herself in the film. I can't imagine anyone else playing the role of Shruti the way Anushka did. Ranveer was good as a newcomer. The chemistry was definitely amazing.

Music?

Love it <33 Adha Ishq <33

Favorite scene?

The scene where Shruti is crying after Bittu says that whatever happened between them was a mistake and they should move on. Anushka is a star. That scene was just amazing.

Feel free to add more

Overall, the movie was good but not great!

I would give it a 7/10. Didn't rank it higher than that as I was expecting a lot from the movie since everyone was praising it, was a little disappointed in the end. I found Anushka's character a bit annoying with all the screaming she did. However, it was a nice film and one of the better ones of 2010. I might go back and watch it later to see if I enjoy it more the 2nd time around.

How were the performances, chemistry between the lead pair?

10/10, Ranveer and Anushka had brilliant chemistry. I really felt they were made for each other.

Music?

6/10, I liked Ainvayi Ainvayi and Baari Barsi. The rest were okay.

Favorite scene?

Hmmm, I don't know. I guess all the scenes where Bitto and Shruti were planning for everyones' marriages before the thing that occurred between them. Those scenes were fun.
