SYNOPSIS -
Meet Bunty and Babli. They aren’t your average running-around-trees-shooting-the-breeze kind of filmic lovebirds. Bunty and Babli are special. And not only because they are played by two very special actors Abhishek Bachchan and Rani Mukherjee.
Shaad Ali’s narration sets out to achieve an impossible dream: it makes the dreams of two small-towners the fulcrum of narration, and makes these dreams both funny and sad, sometimes both at once.
The way Rakesh and Vimmi meet on a desultory railway station in a dusty town of Uttar Pradesh seems almost like a parody of Mani Rathnam’s DIL SE where Shah Rukh Khan spotted the forlorn figure of Manisha Koirala in a remote corner.
Nothing remote about the roomy rapport that grows between the lead pair. They are like Tom and Jerry (with a sex change).
Shaad Ali loves trains and other modes of communication for the working class. Dammit, he loves the working class! Not too many filmmakers today dare to follow small-town dreams. Like SAATHIYA his romance is rooted to a real milieu. But there’s a difference in Bunty Aur Babli. Here the couple’s escapades border on the bizarre.
The way Rakesh invents doubles for the twosome is a tongue-in-cheek swipe at armchair psychology. All the criminal activities that the pair indulges in is hereby the handiwork of the couple’s doppelgangers, alias Bunty Aur Babli.
Fraud Freud?
The comfort zone that Abhishek and Rani create for their characters’ comic romp is mystical and yet earthy...
