Nice, light comedy and fun movie. Good humor or and acting by all. Watch it to refresh your mind.

Mohit Chaddha (Ayushmann Khurrana) is a marketing professional vying for a promotion at workplace. He is in steady love with Mayera (Sonam Kapoor), a financial brain with a great sense of fashion. Mohit is confident to win Mayera's dad V. K. Sehgal's heart (played by Rishi Kapoor). Life seems picture perfect for both of them until Mohit is given a pink slip soon after his promotion due to recession and economic meltdown. The Director Nupur Asthana's effort is to show the plight of a jobless professional, his initial "cool-confident-never mind, I would get another job" attitude to compromising with the job profile, his love life, intending to walk the aisle with the girl friend in spite of Rs. 653/- in the bank account, and above all taking the efforts during his 'probationary period' to impress would-be-father-in-law… Ayushmann Khurana steals the show, he is natural, vivacious. Sonam Kapoor suits to the role of a high-flying professional. She really carries off well her branded costumes – Zara, Mango etc. and of course stylish footwear. She is not at all apologetic to admit that she earns so that she can afford various brands and live / enjoy her life, shopping, rock shows, movies, parties etc. Rishi Kapoor as Sonam's father does bright up the screen with his comic timings. He has displayed the attitude of an IAS officer (just-retired as well) and a protective father with great ease. He generates a great laughter, when he asks his would-be-son-in-law the attested copies of his PAN Card, Voter's Id card, Bank Account details, Aadhar Card etc., i.e. his complete credentials. All the face-off between Rishi and Ayushmann are good moments of humour. Music by Raghu Dixit does no wonder. This movie has six tracks with Anvita Dutt as the lyricist. The song Gulcharrey (sung by Benny Dayal & Aditi Singh Sharma) and Bewakoofiyan, the title song (sung by Raghu Dixit) are youthful (minus lyrics). Director Habib Faisal has penned down the lyrics of Khamakhaan, which is well sung by Neeti Mohan and Ayushmann Khuraana. The song Rumaani Sa (sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Mohit Chauhan) is good. Vishal Dadlani sang Aye Jigida, which is also just OK. Music could have been definitely far better. Overall, I feel, the plot lacks the depth, probably, the intention would have been to focus on the issues very lightly. The highlight of the movie, I must say, is the last scene. Let me not spill the beans, although the end is predictable, still it is a must- watch sweet scene. It won't be a Bewakoofi to watch Bewakoofiyan, a light-hearted movie.

Mohit (ayushmann) is a genius in marketing and he has a great love life happening with Mayera (sonam) who is a financial professional. They work hard and enjoy also the same. However, trouble comes in the form of Mayera's father Sehgal (rishi) who strongly believes that a rich man can keep his daughter happy. To add to the woes, Mohit loses his job due to recession. What happens after that forms the rest. The director has come up with a routine storyline and while the presentation was rich, the narrative was the strength. The dialogues were witty and intelligent. The script was average but the screenplay made it lot better. The background score was melodious but songs were not impressive. Cinematography was efficient. Editing was crisp. Costumes were well designed to suit the trends and fashion while the art department was appealing. Ayushmann gave a confident performance and he was excellent at few places. Sonam Kapoor has improved more in performance and did well. Rishi Kapoor was fabulous as usual. Gurpal Singh was usual while Pratap was neat. Others didn't get much scope. The theme of girl's father playing the villain in a love story is age old but what matters is the way the whole thing has been woven and adding it with entertainment. In this film, the first half goes on the lighter note with elements of comedy, some romance and dance. The interval bang was interesting and the second half was filled with some energy. Of course, the ending could have been filled with some twists. Still, the film has enough for the audience to enjoy within the two hours. Overall the film is a simple,sweet, slice of film that is clichéd, but people who enjoy romcoms will lap at this film. 3.25/5* or 6.5/10
