It's a film about catapulting a finely polished 'star' to what the industry feels is his rightful spot in the firmament, and a film that makes no bones out of playing an old Kishore Kumar song a half-dozen times to set the mood in the first half and then doing the same for a new KK song in the second half. So yeah, it's that kinda film.

And it's not bad, honestly. Bachna is well-cast, joyously escapist and throws in surprising character maturity every now and then. The fun romantic bits are breezy and click well, while even the much weaker emotional sequences -- which do come across as heavy-handed and presumptous -- throw up a couple of lines of dialogue that show the thought that has gone into the characters and the situation. That said, it's about 40 minutes too long, the first and the second half feel like they are two different movies -- and one wishes they were. (Lord, could the YRF boys really have missed out on an instant-sequel?) It's also a film shamelessly celebrating the Bollywood bratpack -- and I don't just mean that because Ranbir's character is ridiculously well off, and only works if and when he wants to. I mean that because, in a film named after a song picturised on his father, his character is named Raj like his iconic granddaddy. And like the protagonist in another Europe-based romance.
