Baar Baar Dekho
Critic reviews and ratings
-
It strings together scenes from a situation of marital calamity with an easygoing swagger that Ingmar Bergman would have found distracting.
-
There are timeless love stories and then stories involving time travel. BBD belongs to the latter. Pleasant and fairly engaging but a tad tedious (like mathematics) to evoke a Baar Baar viewing.
-
Nitya Mehra's debut outing as a director with Baar Baar Dekho is certainly a promising one. She treats this story with a lot of sincerity; a subject which in itself is a challenge to sell to the audience.
-
...is hardly even a bird’s eye view of the new generation’s choices and desires. Its philosophy lacks strength and gloss takes the centre stage right from the beginning.
-
In her first film as director, Mehra moves everything along briskly but is unable to add her own visual touch to the impossibly bright and beautiful Dharma house style.
-
If I had the power to go back in time and any power over Team Baar Baar Dekho, I would cajole or bully them into rewriting the second half of their script. In the present though, in the here and now, this is a film that starts off well but fails to sustain itself.
-
This could've been a breezy love story but it takes itself too seriously and ends up like a masala khichdi with aspirations of being a risotto.
-
...a confused film which underestimates audience's intelligence and takes them for granted.
-
It wants to be seen as a departure from sentimental Hindi film romances, but it doesn’t want to let go of the messy bundle of emotions these films tap into.
-
Debutant director Nitya Mehra attempts to make a 'high-concept' love story, only to fall light years short of what the film could have been.
-
...desperately flawed film.
-
It's an undercooked time travel tale. Ek baar dekhna is tough enough.
-
A long-winded way of saying something quite simple, really. The buildup and guesswork all seem like they want to lead you up to something very profound, but nada.
-
Though Katrina Kaif and Sidharth Malhotra charm, this predictable and unnecessarily long and prolonged rom com wrapped in such a boring mumbo jumbo about time travel that we finally just don't care.
-
You can't sell a 100-year-old idea with futuristic frills. That just doesn't add up.
-
...isn’t bad. Just bland. And pretty. Very, very pretty.
-
You end up admiring the scenery and feeling very little.
-
...despite Katrina Kaif and Sidharth Malhotra's 'hotness' which drew the audiences in, the story leaves you cold.
-
For a film about romance and love, Baar Baar Dekho is curiously lacking the messiness of real relationships, and trades in quick-fix solutions to complex personal issues.
-
...takes so long to get to the point, and leave any impact at all, that as an audience, we merely find ourselves lopping around in circles, not just over the harrowing running time, but within multiple timelines of this slick looking pic as well.
-
Nothing in this movie adds up...
-
There are no standout performances, no scenes that can pack in an emotional wallop and the conversational dialogue turns banal beyond a point.
-
For no fault of the actors, this film ends up with zero entertainment value.
