Dil Bole Hadippa Review
Dil Bole Hadippa is yet another film from the YRF’s kitty based in Punjab. This too represents the stereotypical culture of Punjab with swaying yellow fields, flashy celebrations, desi lassi and chomping sugarcane.
The film is the story of one such village of Punjab located at the Wagah border that has its own cricket team and plays match with the local Pakistani team for the Aman cup and have been losing in a row from past eight years. The team’s owner (Anupam Kher) turns to his son Rohan (Shahid Kapur) who plays county cricket in England to take over as coach and the captain to strengthen the team. A village girl Veera (Rani Mukherjee) though works with a local theatre group in village, treasures an unusual dream of playing a cricket in the big league with the star cricketers Tendulkar and Dhoni. She gets an entry in the men cricket team by disguising herself as a man. Here comes the twist in the story, Veera Kaur becomes Veer Pratap Singh sporting a turban and a beard. And thus it bears out the purpose of Veera living with a nautanki company called Jigri Yaar Dance Company, adept at costumes and disguises.
Her journey in the cricket arena leads to lot of humor, romance and on and off manifests the spirit of India for the sport. It ensembles all the superhit ingredients of the Yash Raj films like situations evoking patriotism, feel of DDLJ and loud Punjabi dialogues like main ek Punjabi baap ka Punjabi beta hoon. In the climax, when Veera’s speech about allowing girls to dream freely will certainly move the audience. Unarguably, Rani is looking better than what she has in years and Shahid too looked dashing. The only two spoilsports in the sporty film are Sherlyn Chopra and Rakhi Sawant.
By the way DBH is the Punjabi version of the 2006 high school rom-com ‘She’s The Man’ in which a girl disguises herself as her brother to get in a soccer team.
Catch up DBH to see the fiery chemistry between first-time paired Bollywood ki rani Rani Mukherjee and Kamine star Shahid Kapoor.

Tarun, why does it sound like you are Aditya Chopra, cause except for him, no one can say anything good about this movie. Either you are a brainless bozo, or you must be blind and deaf. Finally, you are comparing Satyjit Roy’s movies with this dumb shit? |

Mat dekhna yeh movie… this movie should be rated -10 *. Rani and Shahid both should give up movies, Yashraj should stop making them All in all, absoulate waste of money, if this movies stays in theaters for another two days, it’ll be a remarkable achievement for Yashraj. DONT WATCH THIS SHIT |

Well it was a good movie to watch. Rani excelled in her role and was perfect.Shahid as usual is a must watch fellow. Some people criticised the movie as if it has brought down a national catostrophy. I would just like to tell them that if the movie was a so bad and meaningless, then they should watch some of the brilliant movies of Kurusawa,Satyajit Roy,Antonioni etc. etc. and many movies of Adur,Ritu etc.etc.I like these film very much.And I am afraid that THOSE PEOPLE HAVE NEVER SEEN THESE MOVIES(WELL MAYBE IT REQUIRES MIND TO UNDERSTAND THE SENSIBILITIES..HA HA) Its an entertaining, beautiful and sweet movie. 3 cheers for it- HIP HIP HURRAY |

Mayawati’s statue is more entertaining than ‘Hadippa’. Guys, This movie is a big let down! Very predictable, and other than flashes of believable acting by Rani here and there, most actors fail to deliver. The big difference between a fantastic movie and an ordinary movie is that a fantastic movie hijacks your mind, and holds you in such a thrall, that you forget you are in a theater looking at images on a screen….we are transported into that magical world of vivid imagery that the director has crafted with great wizardry. And when the movie ends, it tugs at our heartstrings, as we swiftly return to the real world and realize that we have head home. Though ‘Hadippa’ ravages our mind with a mixed dose of bright colors, loud music, and feisty dancing, it fails to transport us to a different world….you grow increasingly aware that you are sitting in this theater patiently waiting for the movie to take off…but like passengers on a delayed flight sitting on the tarmac we sit fidgeting on our seats, hoping to get airborne, and be amidst the clouds, bedazzled by the lovely experience those promos and trailers had promised…but we are kept waiting. Minutes become hours, but hope doesnt translate to reality…even Rani’s burst of intense and passionate dialogue delivery towards the very end fails to take us to the promised dreamland. And with the rest of a disappointed crowd, we shuffle out of the theater, silently avoiding glances of fellow movie goers heading back home… |
