Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani

If you have still not seen a proper Bollywood movie before, this is an ideal introduction to the joys of commercial Bombay cinema. Go see: smile and weep!

[Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani] liberally echoes DDLJ and every other major romance to come out of Bollywood in the last two decades.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is a been-here, seen-this, much-too-long glossy creature, and not much else.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani has its highs and lows, but in the end it left me with a smile and a very wet handkerchief.

I was surprised myself how much fun I had with YEH JAWAANI HAI DEEWANI, but if you’re looking for a big, colorful rom-com where everyone is clearly interested in entertaining and delighting the audience, you really can’t go wrong with this one.

The story is not novel, but the treatment is A-grade.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is gorgeously choreographed and gloriously shot.

If all this don't please you, nothing will.

For all the big ideas about life and the dilemmas of youth that it tosses up in the air over a runtime that's 20 minutes shy of three hours, it always opts to play safe, vacillating between thoughts of rebellion and acts of conformity.

Ayan Mukherjee's slick, sweet tale of friendship, fun and accepting one's mature responsibilities is never particularly profound in its observations, preferring energetic likeability and star-power over depth and realism.
