While he does have a spark, even his efforts aren't the most consistent.
Rajkummar Rao brings in an authentic performance. The writing does her no favour as she goes from being fiercely independent to hopelessly in love for no reason. Shruti Haasan looks beautiful as ever, but her role lets her down. It follows a tried and tested pattern and ends being plain vanilla. The film’s writing does have an eye for detail, but it does not shake things up. So the rest of the 100-odd minutes seam like a tiring wait for it to unfold. You know there's a happy ending in the offing and you know it 15 minutes into the film. The elements of boy stalking girl, girl falling head over heals at the drop of a hat and then the standard misunderstanding is all too convenient. Its like you’ve watched this film's formula 10000 times before. It plays out in a terribly familiar fashion. While the premise of Behen Hogi Teri holds promise, the film is written with very little imagination. Bhura's bahubali family lead by erstwhile villains like Ranjeet and Gulshan Grover add to the madness later on in the film. Also thrown into the mix are Rahul (Gautam Gulati), Binny's suitor from France and Bhura (Harry Tangri), Gattu's best friend. Gattu keeps getting bhaizoned from Binny's family, his own parents as well as everyone else. Once Gattu decides to chase his love, situations turn into a comedy or errors. She gets the local girls to tie rakhis to the local boys. The girl, Binny (Shruti Haasan) is bubbly and spirited. But he's never managed to muster up the courage to pursue his romantic ambition. The boy, Gattu (Rajkummar Rao) loves the girl since they were kids. In true genre fashion, the story is based around a boy and girl. The movie retains a level of emotional intelligence, but in the midst of its uninspiring screenplay, it stays perfectly average. The film plays out like a run-of-the-mill comedy of errors. While its a decent premise for a comedy, the film just doesn't do anything of value with the thought. Its setup in the more orthodox environs of Lucknow to allow the Bhai-Behen connection seem more relatable. Behen Hogi Teri is a film based on this idea. Where boys used to get converted into brothers and not lovers. Like modern day's friendzone, this thought used to be called bhaizone.
Quick take: Perfectly average romantic comedyīack in school, every boy lives in dread of the thought, where his crush comes over to tie a rakhi. Cast: Rajkumar Rao, Shruti Haasan, Gautam Gulati, Gulshan Grover, Ranjeet, Kamlesh Gill, Darshan Jariwala, Ninad Kamat, Mrunal Jain, Herry Tangri, Reena Aggarwal.
