was about to embark on this journey of his life he bumps into a wild, free
spirited, French born Indian girl Shyra (Vaani Kapoor). A feisty romance ensues
between the two in which both of their personalities- one being an equal match
for the other are tested to the limit. Battling their ups and downs, both
realize that love is a leap of faith that can only be taken by those who dare
to love.

He has tried to break away from typecast and forayed into production of
off-beat films with unique subjects in projects like Kabul Express (2006), Chak
De India (2007), Rocket Singh (2009), Dum Laga Ke Haisha (2015) and Fan (2016),
that do not necessarily fit into the realms of Masala films.
My Gut Feel and
comments:
In my solitude, many miles from men and houses, I am in a
childishly happy and carefree state of mind, which you are incapable of
understanding unless someone explains it to you. Knut Hamsun
Going by the trailer of the film, it seems to be a similar stuff
which we have seen several times in the recent past. However, as I was going
through the recent interview of Ranveer Singh he categorically mentioned that
promo is not revealing the essence of the movie and as per him plot is fresh
and engaging and quoted it as a light hearted comedy movie. This is indeed a fourth directorial venture
of Aditya Chopra and I am sure he must have had put his best foot forward.
Censor board gave it U/A certificate and allowed the release
without any cuts which is strange. Film length is 2 hour 12 minutes, which is
good. I am not too hopeful about the movie, although however, loved to be
proven wrong.
Going by my gut feeling I
am giving Befikre 2.5 stars out of 5, three days before the release.
