I saw Baabul last Saturday and I was quite impressed with the theme. Such a theme of widow's getting remarried is seen rarely in Bollywood films. However, it works. Without giving the story away, I can only say the film was very emotionally packed. As I sat through the film, the lady next to me began crying continously. She couldn't keep the tears within her eyes. On the negative side, the film does move at a sluggish pace. Performance wise, Salman Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Rani Mukherjee act superbly. Hema Malini does not share the same amount of scope that she had in Baghban. However, while she is there, she leaves a mark. John Abraham acts very good in a role which many think might not have suited him. He definitely proved non-believers wrong. As for the rest of the suppotring cast, they all left quite a mark. Special recognition should go to Sharat Saxena. He was amazing. Rajpal Yadav was good this time around but he has had better performances in the past. A great effort nonetheless. Overall, a great film to watch with family. Ladies will definitely shed a bucket full of tears from the last time they did in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Watch and enjoy!

Babul is the most disgusting family drama i have ever seen Direct is all confused of what he wants to say. int he first halk the movie looks like to be a patch work. no continuity in the script and the editting was horrible. the second half was a little tolerable but still cd have been a 1000 times better. Also the costumes were yuk. disgusting choice of clothes. In some scenes Rani Mukherjee looked like Kareena kapoor of Chameli. Aman Verma... what where u for in the movie.. in the last scene we are told u r Hema Malini's Brother Minus Points: Costumes Editting Loose script Salman Khan

I decided to go along with a few friends to watch B.R.Chopra's latest movie Baabul. The promos seemed good and the theme was different so we were quite enthusiastic about it. We went on Monday for the 7:30 pm show and were shocked to see the cinema was not even half-full. I don't know what had happened, generally Hindi movies work well at this part but this time it just wasnt so. Anyway we decided to keep all those things aside and took our seats. As the movie started, it seemed like some old-fashioned movie specially when the credits were displayed, it didn't really click. But we were just there. I won't through much light on the story but I do have some comments to make on. The first half was just like any other romantic movie. Frankly telling you Jaaneman seemed better as at least the script was different. The first half was just like any other movie, the only thing that kept it going was the stars and excellent performances by Salman,Rani,Amitabh,Hema. The songs were awesome - a delight. Everything seemed right in place, but come on we've seen so many of these kind of movies, give us a break? Just before the intermission Salman has an accident. And believe it or not everyone clapped and i wondered maybe it was necessary. The story had to move on and that's why he had to die. Second half started with the hospital scene. Excellent scene, even the funeral scene and the scenes that followed up were great. Truly speaking the second half dominates and makes over for the losses of the first half. Everything is fast paced and John's entry brings in light to the dull story. But sometimes we ever wondered if Amitabh was right about all that he said at the climax scene? And was Rani really right to agree for a remarriage? Some questions that will get mixed response. Best Scene: Climax scene Plusses: Performances, soothing music Minuses: Dragging story in the first half Peformances: Amitabh Bachchan: At his best yet again, fits the father role to the T Hema Malini: Quite good, tolerable, doesn't share a great chemistry with Amitabh as in Baghban Salman Khan: Excellent, steals the show Rani Mukherjee: Good, not at her best, we've seen her better in Black. But it's a delight to watch her. John Abraham: Was he a miscast? He just couldn't handle the emotional scenes. Okay, nothing great. Om Puri: Okay Parmeet Sethi: Wasted Aman Verma: Wasted Rajpal Yadav: Okay Others: Decent Music: Good Overall, I would say that you can watch this movie once for the performances and the story. Don't expect much, just a family entertainer.

Old wine in a new bottle...that's wht is Baabul. As far as acting is concerned, all r good...specially Big B. Saarika after a long time looks nice in acting, but the story is too old for this generation. Some comic scenes between Salman and rajpal are good, and some light moments between salmaan and rani. John looks confortable but still needs to improve. Songs are not that catchy but you can watch it once while watching movie in the cinema hall. Overall people would like to see it once because of big star cast and would enjoy it once...but once only. Overall an average movie and is not upto the mark as bagbaan.
