This film that I will be reviewing is called, “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani”. It is directed by Ayan Mukherji, who has directed the 2009 hit, Wake Up Sid and again produced by Karan Johar under his banner, Dharma Productions. This movie stars Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone in leading roles, while having Aditya Roy Kapur, Kalki Koechlin, and Kunal Roy Kapur in supporting roles. It starts with Naina, played by Deepika Padukone, who is a bespectacled and uptight person who studies consistently and is always in the top of her class. One day, she meets one of her friends from college, Aditi, played by Kalki Koechlin, who makes her realize that she wants more from life than high marks. She makes an impulsive decision to follow Aditi on a trek into Manali. On the trek, she sees another former classmate, Kabir Thapar a.k.a. Bunny, played by Ranbir Kapoor. Bunny is a handsome charmer and wants to travel the world. Everything to him is just like YOLO. During the trek, Bunny and Naina draw closer to each other. Bunny teaches Naina how to let herself go. At the end of the trek, she is close to telling Bunny how she feels, but is interrupted by their friend Avi, played by Aditya Roy Kapur. He searched Bunny's backpack and found a letter accepting Bunny to graduate school in journalism in Chicago. Bunny explains that the trek is his last trip before he leaves. He will be sad to leave his friends, but happy to start a career that will lead to the travel of which he dreams. 8 years pass as time flies, Naina finishes medical school and works in a clinic. Bunny works as a television cameraman for travel shows and roams the world, as he had planned. They meet again in Udaipur, for Aditi's lavish wedding. That is where Naina and Bunny are again strongly attracted to each other. Both resist love, it is because Bunny does not want to give up a dream job he has been offered as a travel post, Naina because she fears that Bunny will break her heart again. Will they find a way to be together?

Stardom can achieve a lot in India. Apart from convincing masses to buy various products, it can turn dud scripts into blockbusters. Ayan Mukherjee tells us something about the youth, yet again after 'Wake up Sid'. Is he representing the current generation? Is he out to inspire them? Does he have an undying message in the life and travels of Bunny Thapar? Disappointingly, it is none of the above. 'Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani' rides on the back of Ranbir Kapoor who at times, appears lost in bland scenes and tries hard in others to put life in them. The anguish can be felt by some of the audience and instantly they can conclude that this melodramatic, cheesy and inebriated representation of a non-existent class of youth is just over-the-top. The wafer thin plot revolves around Bunny's (Ranbir Kapoor) aspirations of carefree world travel. Not only does he have to convince his father (Farooq Shaikh) to let him live his dream but he must then tolerate his friends, the loud and indecisive Avi (Aditya Roy Kapoor) who has some occasional funny dialogue and Aditi (Kalki Koechlin), who was frankly better off in Kashyap's realistic films since the fake vibe she carries is terribly unconvincing. Then of course, they take a 'make-my-trekking-trip' to Manali, joined by the studious Naina (spectacled Deepika Padukone) who must awkwardly endure the games, flirting, drinking and street fighting that the others so happily indulge in. Thereafter, Bunny travels abroad for his education and career, without much happening in that phase apart from solitary moments of photography, random hook-ups and pensive introspection. Then suddenly, he gets a video invite to Aditi's wedding in Udaipur where they are all back to flirting, drinking, fighting and a lot more dancing this time. “I want to fly, I want to run, I even want to fall but I don't want to stop”... at the surface, Bunny's philosophy is alluring but without the backing of a script to support it, those lines just fade away into drunken indulgence. On one hand he claims to enjoy his way of life and on the other, being love struck, his conviction melts in a lip-lock scene. His dilemma is his weakness and perhaps the film's major drawback. The immaturity and inaneness of several scenes contribute to the incredulity of Mukherjee's script. While he tries to resolve fundamental differences between the lifestyle of two individuals, he indulges in nonsensical representation of today's generation. Now he leads the folks of small towns and villages to believe that city-dwellers are a part of this cool culture where girls call each other 'dudes' and a guy addresses a girl as 'Man'. To add to that, the pahadi folks would feel miserable about their own lives knowing that city people can hike up the snowy peaks while being dressed for a party, drinking along the way, listening to their music on large headphones and then discover German mountaineer parties over the next hill. The other harsh reality that is uncovered by Mukherjee's vision is that as you start traveling around the world, you tend to grow an ugly beard because you don't have to give a damn. Rana Daggubati, Aditya Roy Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor tend to have striking visual similarities with their beards that may perhaps appeal to Mukherjee's version of those chic city girls (Lara). Eventually though, Mukherjee gives rise to the much needed maturity in the film when Bunny and Naina struggle to relate to each others' lives and conclude that “tum galat nahi ho, sirf alag ho”. Only if the conclusion of it all had been along those lines, the film would have been more realistic and meaningful. Ranbir Kapoor rides the film on his shoulders. As versatile a dancer that he is, Ranbir also pulls off comedy, tragedy, indifference and seriousness with equal credibility. With just a handful of memorable dialogues, his potential hasn't been realized by Mukherjee and to make it worse, the supporting cast does not match up to his level. Kalki Koechlin was impressive in Anurag Kashyap's films but she seems quite out of place here. The first half of the movie is overacted with loudness that gets irritating. Aditya Roy Kapoor too tends to be louder than required and is reduced to the most poorly written character in the movie. Farooq Shaikh extended a favor to the director by taking up his role which wasn't worthy of such a fine actor. Deepika Padukone still struggles with the simplest of roles and tries to drive attention to her skimpy clothing rather than expressing various emotions. Her spontaneity may have improved but versatility and credibility of her character are still lacking. The true star of the film however, is Manali and its surrounding snowy scenery. The Himalayas have seldom been depicted in such spectacular fashion and the scene on the mountain top is awe inspiring (only to be spoiled by Ranbir's unnecessary screaming). There are too many songs by Pritam in this Deewani Jawani. Balam Pichkari is a catchy holi song while the Madhuri Dixit Via Agra track is forgettable. Kabira is melodious but reminiscent of Iktara. Badtameez Dil is fun to watch with some excellent choreography and upbeat tunes. Ayan Mukherjee's attempt at portraying the lifestyles and challenging relationships of today's youth had some foundation but lost its way in the cheesy, incredulous delivery of the script. Too many fake characters delineate little more than indulgence in alcohol, women and the carefree attitudes. Zoya Akhtar's take on such a subject was far superior (ZNMD) in every aspect with depth in its story, characters and the exemplary direction. 'Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani' is just not meaningful enough for the viewer to care about the characters or story. Too much of it was over-the-top from the beginning to recover its credibility. Add to that, the occasional overacting and numerous songs that put brakes on an already struggling story-line. Bunny's character seems determined to live life his own way at times but still seems confused and uncertain about the long run. If that was the point of Mukherjee's film, then it should have been titled 'Wake up Bunny'. - 6.233 on a scale of 1-10.

What a great movie. I was wondering why is has become such a huge hit but after watching it i have realized it is worth it. Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika are fabulous ably supported by Aditya Roy Kapoor. Every song is related to the story like it used to be in old movies. All the songs are great and the movie makes the youth realize the importance of relations.

" Life is short ... live every moment until you regret it " . Yeh Jawani Hain Dewani is all about friendship , adventure , fun and love celebrating each and every instance that will make you feel alive. The film was close to all these ... however it was the loose screenplay in the later part which plays the spoil-sport. Yeh Jawani Hain Dewani brings you different set of people - A young , energetic , travel-enthusiasts who wants to make big in life, a studious-book worm who is sick of her life and wants to enjoy her life, an alcoholic-drug smitten gamblers who is wasting his life and a cool- rcok chic who is in a one-sided relationship. They all come together in one adventurous trip that will change their life forever. From the director of critically acclaimed WAKE-UP SID , Ayan Mukherji chooses a very different subject but falls into same old bollywood melodrama which we have witnessed so many times before. The first half begins with a bang and has routine song-drama with few hilarious moments but it is the second half which blocks the movement and goes in for a toss. Screenplay is average. Dialogues are decent at time otherwise repetitive. Art direction is awesome ( from the house of Karan Johar), Cinematography is eye-catching. Songs are just about average and nothing much to talk about. It is Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone who steals the show with their engrossing chemistry. i would not say it their break-through performance but it is good enough to pull out the movie from falling into pit. Aditya Roy Kapur goes over the top. Kalki Koechin is superb as Aditi. Yeh Jawani Hain Deewani does not live upto the hype surrounding it. All glitters are not gold. Above average 2.75/5

the JAWANI not so DEEWANI !! The first half was nothing but a 'Karan Johar financed' Manali trip for Ayan Mukerji Ranbir Kapoor Deepika Padukone Aditya Roy Kapoor and Kalki Koechlin ... The 2nd half starts, and the Director suddenly realized there should be a story as well. Which directly effects the length of the film. The Actors... few melodious songs..... and some beautiful locales saves the day for Ayan Mukherji's second outing.

Dharma Producton , the name that assures that they are going to provide you with Love stories which will fill your heart with love , and a dharma film carries "BLOCKBUSTER" tag along with it. Ayan Mukherji has shown his sincerity towards film making . Wake up Sid his first directorial was sweet and simple , but with YJHD he has shown great improvement in direction and handling a widescale project . YJHD is like a Cold breeze during hot weather of summer , Youth oriented , entertaining , funny , emotional , containing all the flavors of life . A love story but more about friendship , sense of responsibility , youthism , ambitions . With Ranbir Kapoor and Depika Padokoune , you cannot see another couple with such awesome chemistry (THEY MAY REMIND YOU OF SRK , KAJOL ROMANCE JODI)
