Mohit Chaddha (Ayushmann Khurrana) is a marketing professional vying for a promotion at workplace. He is in steady love with Mayera (Sonam Kapoor), a financial brain with a great sense of fashion. Mohit is confident to win Mayera's dad V. K. Sehgal's heart (played by Rishi Kapoor). Life seems picture perfect for both of them until Mohit is given a pink slip soon after his promotion due to recession and economic meltdown. The Director Nupur Asthana's effort is to show the plight of a jobless professional, his initial "cool-confident-never mind, I would get another job" attitude to compromising with the job profile, his love life, intending to walk the aisle with the girl friend in spite of Rs. 653/- in the bank account, and above all taking the efforts during his 'probationary period' to impress would-be-father-in-law Ayushmann Khurana steals the show, he is natural, vivacious. Sonam Kapoor suits to the role of a high-flying professional. She really carries off well her branded costumes – Zara, Mango etc. and of course stylish footwear. She is not at all apologetic to admit that she earns so that she can afford various brands and live / enjoy her life, shopping, rock shows, movies, parties etc. Rishi Kapoor as Sonam's father does bright up the screen with his comic timings. He has displayed the attitude of an IAS officer (just-retired as well) and a protective father with great ease. He generates a great laughter, when he asks his would-be-son-in-law the attested copies of his PAN Card, Voter's Id card, Bank Account details, Aadhar Card etc., i.e. his complete credentials. All the face-off between Rishi and Ayushmann are good moments of humour. Music by Raghu Dixit does no wonder. This movie has six tracks with Anvita Dutt as the lyricist. The song Gulcharrey (sung by Benny Dayal & Aditi Singh Sharma) and Bewakoofiyan, the title song (sung by Raghu Dixit) are youthful (minus lyrics). Director Habib Faisal has penned down the lyrics of Khamakhaan, which is well sung by Neeti Mohan and Ayushmann Khuraana. The song Rumaani Sa (sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Mohit Chauhan) is good. Vishal Dadlani sang Aye Jigida, which is also just OK. Music could have been definitely far better. Overall, I feel, the plot lacks the depth, probably, the intention would have been to focus on the issues very lightly. The highlight of the movie, I must say, is the last scene. Let me not spill the beans, although the end is predictable, still it is a must- watch sweet scene. It won't be a Bewakoofi to watch Bewakoofiyan, a light-hearted movie.

Mohit (ayushmann) is a genius in marketing and he has a great love life happening with Mayera (sonam) who is a financial professional. They work hard and enjoy also the same. However, trouble comes in the form of Mayera's father Sehgal (rishi) who strongly believes that a rich man can keep his daughter happy. To add to the woes, Mohit loses his job due to recession. What happens after that forms the rest. The director has come up with a routine storyline and while the presentation was rich, the narrative was the strength. The dialogues were witty and intelligent. The script was average but the screenplay made it lot better. The background score was melodious but songs were not impressive. Cinematography was efficient. Editing was crisp. Costumes were well designed to suit the trends and fashion while the art department was appealing. Ayushmann gave a confident performance and he was excellent at few places. Sonam Kapoor has improved more in performance and did well. Rishi Kapoor was fabulous as usual. Gurpal Singh was usual while Pratap was neat. Others didn't get much scope. The theme of girl's father playing the villain in a love story is age old but what matters is the way the whole thing has been woven and adding it with entertainment. In this film, the first half goes on the lighter note with elements of comedy, some romance and dance. The interval bang was interesting and the second half was filled with some energy. Of course, the ending could have been filled with some twists. Still, the film has enough for the audience to enjoy within the two hours. Overall the film is a simple,sweet, slice of film that is clichéd, but people who enjoy romcoms will lap at this film. 3.25/5* or 6.5/10

Its a nice movie. Ayushman and Rishi Kapoor has really tried their best to entertain you throughout the movie. They have shown amazing performance. At one point, you feel that story is getting dragged, but then doesn't matter, it is still a watchable movie. Go for it!

BEWAKOOFIYAAN brings back memories of Anubhav Sinha's AAPKO PEHLE BHI KAHIN DEKHA HAI and Rahul Dholakia's KEHTAA HAI DIL BAAR BAAR, besides FATHER OF THE BRIDE and MEET THE PARENTS. It won't be erroneous to state that BEWAKOOFIYAAN makes a genuine attempt to entertain beyond tested flavours and it succeeds in evoking genuine laughs at regular intervals. On the whole, BEWAKOOFIYAAN springs a pleasant surprise. Watch this wonderful slice of life film for the super performances of Rishi, Ayushmann and Sonam, watertight writing, skilled direction and dollops of humor. Bewakoofiyaan is a genteel, slice-of-life love story that runs with one of the oldest of the standard devices of the genre – strong parental opposition to a proposed marital liaison, with money, or rather the lack of it, playing a big part. But the film does not turn either overly nonsensical or sickly sweet in an ill-advised pursuit of comic effect and cutesy twists. The drama is easy flowing and the romantic track believable. Bewakoofiyaan scores with its disarming simplicity. Even as it doesn't soar to dizzying heights, it is never less than watchable.

This movie revolves around the lives of Mohit Chadda played by Ayushmann Khuranna and Mayera Sehgal played by Sonam Kapoor, whose marriage gets stalled by Mayera's father Vinod Kumar Sehgal played by Rishi Kapoor, who believes in his own rules and ideas. The overall theme of this movie is comedic due to the tussle between Mohit and Mayera's father throughout. This is brought out by Ayushmann's meticulous acting performance and also by Rishi Kapoor's comedic way of dealing with his future son-in-law. Finally the duo of Mayera and Mohit are united under favorable circumstances giving the movie a subtle ending. Overall a 10 out of 10 for the story, romance and ending.

Do not expect anything from the film and you will leave the theater with glee. Because, as far as the humor & screenplay is concerned, it is built finely with entertainment as the sole purpose. There, it succeeds. Unfortunately, it is the desi version of Meet The Parents wherein the girl's father investigates about her lover. In here, the investigation is happening in the background as the father is busy fooling around his daughter & the guy. Father rejects at first, boy tries to impress, then loses his job, certain lies are told, father is happy, but what happens next is so predictable, I bet your 3-year old might guess it correctly. The story is surely cooked up, which lacks imagination. With certain amateurish insight into the corporate world, Bewakoofiyan stumbles in its own wire of monotony. Ayushmann Khurrana is good enough for the role, but let us agree Sonam Kapoor can't act. I liked Rishi Kapoor, but towards the end, even he lost interest in the play. Ounces of humor here & there, with a considerable amount of romance intertwined. 3/10 is a humble score. BOTTOM LINE: A couple may have a good time watching it together. But, this is easily forgettable. Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

In Bewakoofiyaan- at least they got the title right, for it rarely rises above the foolish, being one long journey of excesses. Is it a satire on today's shallow consumerism? Or a medley of brand endorsements? Is it about the intricacies of yuppie, fashionable love? Or about the perils of recession pockmarked life? Either ways, Bewakoofiyaan is mediocre, dim-witted and uninspiring. Not that there is a story. The setting is flashy Gurgaon, specifically Cybercity. High rises, malls, coffee shops, and the occasional fisticuffs on the road- the signatures of Gurgaon is on show here. Young, upwardly mobile professionals Mayera and Mohit are very much in love. She, a Mango, Zara, Steve madden wearing chic financial whizkid, and he, arrogant and street smart, always struggling to keep up with his more gifted girlfriend. Unfair combination, right? Yes, that's what life is. Leave Mohit aside, but Mayera, despite her middle class upbringings and apparent emotional intelligence treats her love story as an endless materialistic and hedonistic journey- pubbing, shopping, dining, pubbing, shopping, dining, pubbing, shopping, dining...you get the point. He flashes a credit card with a 3 lakh limit, to which she pulls out one with a 5 lakh limit. Mohit lets out a sigh. It is that kind of movie. Things go downhill for him as he is laid off. On top of his demanding girlfriend and his own insecurities, Mohit has to battle a bulldog of a father in law who suffers from an extreme case of "no guy is good enough for my darling daughter" syndrome. Ayushmann had a crackling debut in Vicky Donor, but much like his character in the movie, he has been straining to match those highs ever since. Here he, like Sonam is curiously flat, and they have zero chemistry. Sonam has this carefully coiffured image of a fashionista in the real world, which she has carried forth in this movie too. But there is little else about her, and she seems to have forgotten to carry her acting manual onto the sets of Bewakoofiyaan. It is only the past few years that Rishi Kapoor has grudgingly buried the mantle of eternal lover-boy and experimented with variety- pity that he has realized so late in his career that villainy, drama, comedy all does come naturally to him. Here too he tries to keep things energized, but there is this much you can do when saddled with a bland script. Everything is forgettable- the music, the cinematography, the dialogs, the plot. There is zero emotional connect with the lead characters and that is kind of sad coming from a lady director who specializes in youth focused flicks. The film did not do anything to me, despite the familiar surroundings, or having actors that I like. Director Nupur Asthana barely touches upon real life issues such as joblessness, and changing gender expectations. Instead she focuses on buffoonery and style statements. Don't like, don't recommend. 5/10
