To make the title short B3 is a typical “Dilli” film be it its locales, dialogues, styling, roughness or should I say crudeness sometimes. The debutant director Maneesh Sharma has captured the inherent flavour of Delhi really well and that’s what keeps the movie going from the very first scene.
Its the story of Bittu Sharma and Shruti Kakkar – contrast personalities who come together to start their own business – the business of wedding planning which if I may quote the lead actor in the movie is “inflation” and “reception” proof (Recession but said in Haryanvi). The movie revolves around their growth in business as well as in their closeness. To develop a story, obviously they develop cracks in their relationships but all is well in the end.
The strong point of the movie is its spontaneity. The dialogues are sharp and the actors even sharper. Anushka matures with this movie as she is supposed to be the known face but the new comer Rannveer has also acted quite well. Rannveer is not going to be the typical hero material but might be able to carve a niche for himself considering the confidence he displays in his very first movie (not sure if he is the son / nephew / friend etc of anyone in the industry to have deserved such a good break).
The direction and the editing is slick. The movie seems to be made on a very small budget as there are no known actors not even side-kicks, no foreign locations to shoot for and no jazzy sets unless you discount some of the wedding arrangements which are quite “sho-sha” keeping pace with “Dilliness”.
The first half is better than the second half as it builds up the story. The second half does get a bit emotional and typical Bollywoodish but the overall package still works out fine. The music might not be great if you go with Yashraj expectations but couple of songs like Tarqueebein and Ainvayee Ainvayee will be on the charts for some weeks to go.
Overall its a lively movie and after a very long time, a decent movie from the Yash Raj studios.
