Review

Cricket and Bollywood come together in this comedy set in punjab. DIL BOLE HADIPPA tries to capture the spirit of the game and the aspirations of a sportsperson, who's keen to play for her pind. --platform47.com

Product Description

DIL BOLE HADIPPA is a celebration of the never say die spirit of India. Here, for the first time, the dynamic duo of Shahid Kapoor & Rani Mukherjee, take you on a hide and seek game of romance, passion and dreams.

Veera (Rani Mukherjee) is a fire-cracker of a girl who lives in a small village but dreams in 70mm. She works in a local theatre group but dreams of playing cricket in the big league. Yes, believe it or not, she wants to play with Tendulkar and Dhoni for India.

While Veera dreams on in India, Rohan (Shahid Kapoor) is an accomplished captain of a county cricket team in England. Rohan returns to India to captain his father s cricket team which has been losing consecutively for the last 8 years.

In a village where girls don t play cricket, Veera has to put on a turban and beard and become a man to fulfill her dreams. Her brilliance on the field earns her a place in Rohan s team and Veera Kaur becomes Veer Pratap Singh.

And then begins a roller-coaster journey of Veera, Rohan and Veer filled with music, romance and comedy through Punjab and beyond.

This tale of turbans, twists and tricks will make your heart go Hadippa!

5.0 out of 5 stars Can We Have Some More, Please?, December 7, 2009

This review is from: Dil Bole Hadippa (DVD)

"Dil Bole Hadippa!" ("My Heart Shouts "Hadippa"!(Hooray) makes a good intro to Bollywood/Indian musicals. It has all the splash of full-out Bollywood but with terrific modern updates & a little something for everyone. For the ladies there's the predictable but crackling good rom/com tension between Shahid Kapoor & Rani Mukherjee. With all this wrapped up in a cricket championship with a little gender-bending to keep it off-balance, guys should find it just as entertaining. For those who avoid subtitled films, know that there's as much English dialogue in Bollywood films nowdays as Hindi, particularly in this one, so don't let that keep you away.

The score is fantastic, with terrific Punjabi-flavored dance tunes that will keep anyone moving on the dance floor or in the workout room. Shahid's dancing is stellar as ever, and it's nice to see him finally paired with a partner who matches his energy & precision; someone he can really "play ball" with. Rani & Shahid are among my favorites separately, and together they don't disappoint. Rani as Veer/Veera is awesome. I thought it would be impossible for such a petite female to convincingly appear as a guy, but she goes at it with gusto & delivers great laughs. Shahid delivers a well-shaded performance with another slightly edgier character. Nice to see him moving so successfully from Boy-Next-Door characters to work with wider range.

It's a visually gorgeous film also, with all the bright colors & gorgeous Punjab landscapes in-larger-than-life 70mm. And, uh..the lead actors aren't too hard on the eyes, either.

This is one funny, lively and very entertaining film. Rani Mukherjee goes above and beyond the call of an actor's duty to deliver a great performance. The other actors are focused and very much in tune with their characters. The music is excellent and the dance numbers compliment the spirit and pace of the film. Buy this DVD. You will not regret it! I loved it! Two thumbs way up.

This review is from: Dil Bole Hadippa (DVD)

It's a remake of She's The Man (the one with Amanda Bynes) - but executed so well.

In order to fulfill her dream of playing cricket for India, 'carnival dancer' and talented cricketer Veera (Mukherjee) transforms herself into her male alter ego Veer - but she of course finds it difficult to keep up the pretense when she falls for the captain of the team, Rohan (Kapoor).

This movie is so much fun. Predictable, yes. A little parochial, yes. But full of life, well acted, well directed, and with one of the best soundtracks I've heard on a Hindi film. Rani Mukherjee blew me away as Veer/Veera - I had no idea she had such excellent comedy chops. Shahid Kapoor is at his best in many ways - he gets to show some range (including a touch of the dark side he showed in Fida). Most importantly he has shed that ridiculous SRK haircut he has had in past movies. And he is simply mesmerising to watch when he dances.

Mika Singh & Co. pulled out all the stops for a great soundtrack for this movie too - 'Discowale Khisco', 'Hadippa!', 'Bhangra Bistar', are all great beat-driven tunes.

My only minor complaint is the movie falls into the old 'Punjab is the best' rut which probably started with Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.
