Bachna Ae Haseeno (English: Watch Out, Ladies) is an Indian romantic drama released 15 August 2008. The lead stars in this movie are Ranbir Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Deepika Padukone, and Minissha Lamba. Its director was Siddharth Anand, whose previous projects include Salaam Namaste (2005) and Ta Ra Rum Pum (2007). It was the eighth highest-grossing movie of 2008.
In 1996, Raj runs into Mahi on the Eurorail during a trip to Switzerland. Mahi is a sweet, dreamy girl who believes in true love and is sure she will someday meet her "Raj" (the protagonist from the film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, as played by Shah Rukh Khan). When Mahi misses her train, Raj, a passenger on the same train, gets off to help her out. He offers to help her reach the airport through a different route in time for her return flight. On the way, Mahi develops a crush on Raj and they share a kiss after Raj reads her a poem he wrote about her. At the airport, Mahi meets her friends and tells them about Raj. When she opens the paper on which Raj had written the poem, she finds it blank. She overhears Raj boasting to his friends about the "stuff" the pair did, and is shocked and heartbroken. Raj realises she has overheard and shamefacedly leaves the airport.
In 2002, Raj has moved to Mumbai and found a job with Microsoft as a game designer. He is in a live-in relationship with Radhika, an aspiring model. Raj receives an offer to move to Sydney for a Halo 3 game launch. He expects to be able to leave Radhika and move on, assuming she is a "modern girl" capable of moving past a break-up. This vision is shattered when Radhika unexpectedly declares that she intends to sacrifice her career as a model to marry Raj and join him in Australia. Raj, unable to express his commitment-phobia, flees. He boards a flight to Sydney on the day he is to marry Radhika. Radhika learns this while waiting for him at the marriage registrar's office, and is left crestfallen.
In 2007, Raj now enjoys a successful career in Sydney. One day, he runs into Gayatri, a feisty and independent woman who drives a taxi at night and studies at business school during the day. Raj befriends her and learns that she, like him, does not believe in the sanctity of marriage. As they date he realises that his feelings for her challenge his deep-set misgivings towards commitment. Raj musters the courage to propose, but Gayatri turns him down, saying that she is happy with her life as is. Rejection cuts Raj deep. As he stands alone watching his true love walk away, he recalls when he broke the hearts of Mahi and Radhika, realising how they must have felt. He decides to seek them out and ask for forgiveness.
On his return to India in 2008, he first seeks out Mahi, who is now married and has two sons. He runs into her husband Joginder (Kunal Kapoor), who expresses his anger, as he had heard about Raj's exploits. He explains that while Mahi on the surface appears the perfect housewife and perfect mother, she no longer believes in love. Raj apologises to Mahi and convinces her that her husband is the real "Raj" she has been waiting for, and Mahi forgives him.
Raj then embarks on a search for Radhika. He discovers that she has changed her name to Shreya and has become a highly successful supermodel. After much effort, he manages to meet her and apologises. Shreya refuses to accept his apologies and tells him that if he really wants her forgiveness, he will have to work hard for it. To do this, Raj becomes her personal assistant and she makes him do all sorts of tasks, from cleaning to serving at parties. She tries to humiliate him on every occasion, but Raj remains firm in his resolve and continues to serve without complaint. She finally gives up and tells him how hurt she felt, alone on the day that was supposed to be their wedding. Exasperated, she tells Raj to give up his penance and go home. However, while Raj is waiting for his flight to Sydney, she arrives and tells him that she has realised that the root of her frustration was bottled-up hate against Raj that she no longer bears. She forgives him. Content, Raj returns to Australia, having completed what he had set out to do.
On his return, Raj finds a pile of letters from Gayatri, written over the six months Raj was gone. While he has been away, Gayatri has had second thoughts and regretted turning him down. The lovers reunite.
In April 2007, sources indicated that director Siddharth Anand
had signed for the main lead in his next film. However, after
indicating that the news was "mere speculation" and "absolutely untrue,"[1] he later confirmed that Kapoor was starring in his film.[2]
The director was in talks with actresses Preity Zinta, Bipasha Basu, Deepika Padukone and Amrita Rao for the roles in question but indicated that "it wouldn't be right to reveal their names till we sign them on the dotted line."[2] In June 2007, Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone were finalised to play two of leading ladies,[3] but the former's role was later removed due to the film's story becoming too long.[4] Actress Amrita Rao was considered to play one of the leading ladies but opted out.[5]
The heroines share very limited time on screen together and therefore most of their parts were filmed separately. Deepika Padukone's portions were filmed in Sydney, Australia while the song "Khuda Jaane" was shot at locations in Italy, including Venice, Alberobello and Santa Cesarea Terme (Apulia), Naples and Capri.[6] Minissha Lamba's portions, inspired by Yash Chopra's Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, were filmed in the similar locales of Amritsar and Switzerland. Bipasha Basu's portions were filmed in Mumbai, India and Capri, Italy.[7] Ranbir Kapoor's look in the film was styled by Aki Narula, which changed with time. In title track Ranbir had at least 10 wardrobe changes in one shot.[8] Though he found styling for three lead actresses' characters exciting and challenging, as all play different types who enter into Ranbir's life at different times. So he ensured that the styling was unique without any overlapping.[9]
Continuing the tradition of showcasing the first look of their upcoming films with their latest release, Yash Raj Films showcased the first trailer of the film on 25 April 2008 with the release of Vijay Krishna Acharya's Tashan and a second trailer was shown on 27 June 2008 with the release of Kunal Kohli's Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic.[10] Yash Raj Films usually does not spend much money on promotion. However, it made an exception with Bachna Ae Haseeno. Instead of the usual promotion 2–3 weeks before a movie release, the production house planned a new strategy with promotion over two months.[11]
Since two of the film's characters work for Microsoft Game Studios, plenty of video games released by them are referenced. In addition, nearly all of the movies referenced are releases from Yash Raj Films, with the notable exception of Hum Kisise Kum Naheen (1977).
There are a total of seven tracks in the movie including a remix
version. The album entered the Top 3 of the music charts within a couple
of days of its arrival on the stands.[11] The lyrics of all the songs are written by Anvita Dutt Guptan. According to the Indian trade website Box Office India, with around 16,00,000 units sold, this film's soundtrack album was the year's sixth highest-selling.[14]

Plot
The story narrates the journey of a young playboy named Raj Sharma (Ranbir Kapoor), who meets three young women at different stages in his life: Mahi (Minissha Lamba), a small-town girl from Punjab; Radhika (Bipasha Basu), an aspiring model in Mumbai; and Gayatri (Deepika Padukone), a non-resident Indian student in Australia. It is the story of a ladies' man who runs from one conquest to another only to crash into true love.In 1996, Raj runs into Mahi on the Eurorail during a trip to Switzerland.

Reception
Critical reception
The film opened to mostly mixed responses from critics. Indiafm.com gave it 2.5 stars out of 5, with Taran Adarsh commenting, "On the whole, [it] has an interesting first half, but a weak second hour spoils the show."[12] AOL India gave it 3 out of 5, with Noyon Jyoti Parasara saying, "Overall, Siddharth Anand seems to have hit the bull's eye this time after a not-so-great Ta Ra Rum Pum. At least the first half of the film looked like it would pull out Yash Raj out of the rot!"[13]Soundtrack

A Nutshell Review: Bachna Ae Hasseno
Ranbir Kapoor in his
debut leading man role as Ranbir in Saawariya, didn't have the luck to
snag the lady of his dreams, maybe because he was kind of a cad too,
where karma had a part to return and haunt him. In his second feature
film here, his Raj Sharma is again a cad, and credits himself being a
"lady killer", able to woo any woman when he turns on his charms. We
journey with him as he learns the true meaning of romance and love, and
the first half of the movie before the intermission, gives the audience
three situations over the course of 11 years where he toys with the
emotions of different girls, broadly the sweet, sexy and sassy type,
until of course, Karma catches up with him again for that all important
lesson.
Girl 1: Sweet. 1996. Switzerland. In what would seem like a Before Sunrise storyline, Raj meets Mahi (Minissha Lamba) on board a Euro-train, and engineers his way to be able to spend time alone with his mark, on the pretext of sending her to Zurich to reunite with her family for their trip back to India. This episode sets the stage for Raj as the manipulative casanova, while Mahi is a very girly girl who harbours dreams of that perfect man, the perfect romantic encounter, and that perfect romance coming out just like her favourite movie. Only to discover that her puppy love, with sweet nothings and dedicated poems, resulted to naught when Raj's game is exposed. Broken Heart 1.
Girl 2: Sexy. 2002. Mumbai. Raj seemed to have moved on to another target, though it may seem from the onset he's already been domesticated by Radhika (Bipasha Basu from Dhoom 2), a hot model and aspiring actress who's his neighbour and they're living in together. Raj would have thought that a woman like her, stereotyped of course, would be easy and loose, living the fast life, and wouldn't want to be tied down to marriage because it will hamper her career. So when an opportunity to work in Sydney comes knocking and presents itself as a perfect moment to ditch her, to his surprise Radhika contemplates marriage, which he tries wholeheartedly to avoid. She's willing to sacrifice her career for him, but suffers the unthinkable in being left at the altar. Broken Heart 2.
Girl 3: Sassy. 2007. Sydney. It's actually quite a no-brainer to cast Deepika Padukone here given that she too, like Ranbir Kapoor, had 1 feature film under her belt, and are relatively successful newcomers to the industry (her first effort was in Om Shanti Om, and more recently, Chandni Chowk to China). And (ok Gossipy news ahead) this film actually was the catalyst for their much touted romance (and you can see the dynamics at work with some of the behind the scenes and interviews included in the 2nd disc). Anyway her role here as Gayatri, a business school student who works her way through school as a supermarket check out girl and a taxi driver, impresses Raj a lot, enough to romance her in Venice, and give up his gallivanting ways. Only of course for him to have met his match, and got spurned on his marriage proposal. She's a modern girl wanting to live life on her own terms, so being someone else's wife has never featured in her plans. What goes around finally comes around. Broken Heart 3. Raj's.
While the first half of the movie before the intermission was pretty plain sailing romantic stuff, the second half proved to be more powerful, because the protagonist finally has his eyes opened by his new experience, and realized he's been quite a bastard. So off he goes to make amends with the girls whose hearts he had broken, and mind you, in both real and reel life, this is never easy. Especially when you have to go back and face the women who had one point in time truly love you, and your actions had single handedly destroyed their belief in romance, and change or scar them for life.
We get a lot more jet-setting as well, all worked into the plot, such as the visits to Amritsar, Capri and Rome, as we follow Raj on his mission impossible to seek redemption and forgiveness from a housewife with a protective husband, and another who's now a renowned model with success to her head. I had enjoyed this section more because trying his best to be honest now, Raj has to strip his ego and really crack his head to device his forgiveness plan. Also, we get to see the different demeanours that both Bipasha Basu and Minissha Lamba had to tackle given their characters' failed romance with Raj, which had changed them either for the better, or worse.
The songs here proved to be catchy and fitting to each of the sweet, sexy and sassy persona that the girls bring to the table, and the beautiful locales they were shot in again were draws. Other than the very first musical number Bachna Ae Haseeno which opens the film, you don't get to see everybody on the same scene together, as each storyline took place under mutually exclusive terms, in timeline as well as locations.
If there's something to take away from the film, then it's the lesson that Raj learns, with the past being over and there's no longer control over it, but we can rectify things for the future if we take action in the present. Call me a sentimental fool, but somehow this works on me.

Especially when you have to go back and face the women who had one point in time truly love you, and your actions had single handedly destroyed their belief in romance, and change or scar them for life.
We get a lot more jet-setting as well, all worked into the plot, such as the visits to Amritsar, Capri and Rome, as we follow Raj on his mission impossible to seek redemption and forgiveness from a housewife with a protective husband, and another who's now a renowned model with success to her head. I had enjoyed this section more because trying his best to be honest now, Raj has to strip his ego and really crack his head to device his forgiveness plan. Also, we get to see the different demeanours that both Bipasha Basu and Minissha Lamba had to tackle given their characters' failed romance with Raj, which had changed them either for the better, or worse.
The songs here proved to be catchy and fitting to each of the sweet, sexy and sassy persona that the girls bring to the table, and the beautiful locales they were shot in again were draws. Other than the very first musical number Bachna Ae Haseeno which opens the film, you don't get to see everybody on the same scene together, as each storyline took place under mutually exclusive terms, in timeline as well as locations.
If there's something to take away from the film, then it's the lesson that Raj learns, with the past being over and there's no longer control over it, but we can rectify things for the future if we take action in the present. Call me a sentimental fool, but somehow this works on me.
