The story is familiar territory for Bollywood fans. Ramaiya (debutant Girish Kumar), a wealthy city boy with a penchant for flamboyant entrances (think surfing with bikini-clad extras), falls head over heels for Sona (Shruti Haasan), a village belle attending her friend’s wedding. The expected sparks fly, leading to a whirlwind romance that faces the inevitable disapproval of both families.
Moviesda viewers expecting a nuanced performance from Girish might be disappointed. His portrayal of Ramaiya leans heavily on over-the-top antics and an almost manic energy. However, Shruti Haasan shines as the grounded Sona, balancing the film’s chaotic moments with a sweetness that is easy to root for.
The true scene-stealer, though, is Sonu Sood as Sona’s protective brother. He brings a gravitas and charisma that elevates the film, especially when compared to Girish’s performance.
While the plot offers no surprises, Prabhudheva’s signature style keeps things visually engaging. The film is a kaleidoscope of colors, with elaborate sets and costumes that are a feast for the eyes. The action sequences, particularly the dance numbers, are energetic and well-choreographed, as you’d expect from the director who gave us gems like “Wanted.”
Moviesda recommends “Ramaiya Vastavaiya” for viewers seeking a light and breezy cinematic escape. The music by Sachin-Jigar is catchy, the supporting cast adds some comedic relief, and the overall feel-good vibe is undeniable. However, those who prefer their romances with a bit more depth or who are easily irritated by overacting might want to give this one a miss.
So, log on to Moviesda, grab some popcorn, and get ready to be swept away in the whirlwind romance of “Ramaiya Vastavaiya.” Just don’t expect anything groundbreaking – sit back, relax, and enjoy the colorful ride!
