Baar Baar Dekho (2016)

The greatest movie ever made..!

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Must watch, loved every bit of it !!! The movie was absolutely amazing and protrayed the true essence and beauty of "life". It was a hearttouching movie!

The movie is very very very bad.The story is worst it has no meaning in real life.Like when Sidharth Malhotra wakes up everyday and becomes a little older was one kind of laughable.The direction was bad.The screenplay and editing were worst.I don't know why they spend so much of money in movies like this.The dialouges were bad.The songs were OK.The acting was one kind of worst from Sidharth Malhotra.And Katrina kaif she cannot act.Yaar I am thinking why I wasted my time on this boring movie.I should have seen some nice movie instead of this.So guys don't waste your time and money on this movie watch some nice movie instead of this.

Definitely an attempt to make a movie that is something different. Though To be honest it's not well executed. Some people actually couldn't understand the plot that's why rated it so low. But this is a definite one time watch. Something unique that you will see very rarely in Bollywood. Do watch it and try to feel the moments to get it to its best. Every time we complain why don't Bollywood try something unique something out of the league but the truth is when it does we people don't care to watch it. You may like it or may not but do watch it for once because it is an effort to be appreciated. Hope to see such movies coming out again though with better execution.

BBD has a few basic elements, which are really rather good:1) Basic idea is this: "While waiting for the big moments of happiness in life, we miss out on these small moments of happiness" (From Bawarchi, 1972).2) Time travel/ Groundhog day: Hero goes to sleep and wakes up at consecutively increasingly further out time points in the future (10 days, 2 years, 15/16 years in 2034). At the third one (2034) he realizes he's messed up big, and promises to fix things. Goes to sleep crying, and this time wakes up 10 years before (2023) and manages to make the wrong choices. Next leap takes him 26 years in the future, at the death of his mother. This is the furthest out in time, and he realizes his priorities should be different. Goes to sleep, and wakes up at the only repeat time point (year 2023) - chooses to put his family first, and then comes back to 2016 (the present).The premise was rather good. I liked the elements underlying the story. The execution was... not so great.Some points that stuck out for me:1) The hero is rather taken aback when his girlfriend proposes marriage, and doesn't come back with an enthusiastic enough "yes". It's a scene where we're supposed to empathise with the heroine and pity the hero. He really should've leapt at the chance of marrying KK. why? Everyone has a right to make their own decisions in life, no? If he wants to think about it, let him. 2) All the wedding preparations frustrate the groom (hero) - how selfish and disrespectful of him! (It's rather normal; why paint the poor boy in a bad light because of these small issues!)And what's wrong with wanting to go abroad for job/education? Our movies would have you believe that you shouldn't venture out because our family and friends are here... Well, a lot many people actually do come back. Nothing wrong with seeing the world a little.3) In the year 2023, when KK's character reminds her husband that there's a show in the evening, she says something to the tune of how "will you remember?" and "you're useless". Their two small children are running around! And she's supposed to be a good mother? It's the worst kind of parents that paint their spouse in a bad light in front of the kids.Btw, just fyi, men without full time jobs are 33% more likely to divorce: aka to remain married, the guy needs to be working -- according to a recently published paper (Killewald, ASR 2016); also quoted in TIME magazine (http://time.com/4425061/unemployment-divorce-men-women/)4) Somebody has a vendetta against maths/logic and mathematicians, and doesn't even know what maths is (more on the second half later). The pandit (Rajit Kapur) says logic doesn't explain what's important in life. Which our poor hero doesn't understand because all he understands is maths! Understanding of maths and relationships/values are not mutually exclusive! 5) Classroom scene in one of the time leaps: a student says that you said you have a solution to Fermat's last theorem, how does this affect bla bla bla. Guess what Fermat's last theorem was "proven" 20 years ago, first valid proof presented in 1994 (only about 350 years after the conjecture was stated). A 5 min googling could've take care of this jarring moment.6) The H is supposedly a math genius. And the script writers have no clue what that entails.Being able to find square roots, products of large numbers, is not the same as being able to prove and postulate mathematical theorems and lemmas. Hero is either a student or professor of mathematics, and apparently he's written a paper on Vedic maths. His appointment to Cambridge is based on that. Quick note on VM: it is a collection of tricks to do mental arithmetic, not what maths is really about. Please look up Quora for an involved discussion on the topic. A quote from S.G. Dani (http://www.tifr.res.in/~vahia/dani- vmsm.pdf): "lack of adequate attention to academic pursuits... has unfortunately resulted, on the one hand, in a lack of awareness of our historical role in actual terms and, on the other, an empty sense of pride which is more of an emotional reaction to the colonial domination rather than an intellectual challenge. Together they provide a convenient ground for extremist and misguided elements in society to "reconstruct history" from nonexistent or concocted source material to whip up popular euphoria."And I'm not even a mathematician :|7) My guess is that this was someone's understanding of Good Will Hunting's ending - that he leaves "maths" to be with the girl... Look at the interview scene (with NSA), it doesn't preclude Will Hunting's working on maths, just not with those guys. And yes, we need to have both in our lives - work and relationships. There should be a balance between the two. 8) One more teensy weensy thing... the futuristic technology... uh... there are driver less, self-driving cars already around on roads (Uber has launched driverless cars in Pittsburg, PA, USA). Various corporations have been testing those for quite some time. It would've been fantastic if could've incorporated that in their futuristic settings. But maybe that really is too much to expect...Final verdict: Well, this is definitely a movie you can see with your family or friends without blushing! If you're at the mall, and need to go watch something, this ain't a bad choice. Or, skip the movie tickets, go eat out :)
