Shruti (Anushka Sharma) is a 20-something no-nonsense girl from a middle class Delhi household. Focused and determined with preplanned ambitions, her goals in life are well laid out by the time she reaches her final year of college.

Bittoo (Ranveer Singh), on the other hand, has no real aim in life. As a final year college student of Delhi University, he whiles away his life having fun with his buddies, barely scraping through his exams.

A chance and inopportune meeting (or as you would call it, fate) brings the two of them together on a tumultuous journey where they become partners in their very own, “Wedding planning ka bijness”. The rules however, are clear: “Jisse vyapaar karo, usse kabhi na pyaar karo” (Don’t mix business with pleasure).

Together, their friendship and business, enters the ups and downs of the lavish Delhi weddings. And while trying to find themselves, Shruti and Bittoo discover each other and realize that in the course of their journey, unke khud ke rules ki bajegi band!

Stepped out of the theatre an hour back. Couldn't resist writing this one. Full-on entertainment. It's 150 minutes well spent. The newbie Ranveer Singh is brilliant as Bittoo. [Near-ugly looking, but does give a glance of Ranbir Kapoor - his hairdo, especially! Anyone?]. Bittoo's angrezi is as good as his sense of binnuss. (He means business ;) The dud wants to make it to the top. But doesn't know how. That's when he bumps into Anushka aka Shruti Kakkar, who is driven, amtibious and has a plan. Anushka and Ranveer make an entertaining pair. The 'opposites attract' theory works wonders. Kudos to both for their effortless acting.

Band Baaja Baraat recreates the magic of dilli - the shaadis, the people, the culture, the language, the food. Everything about it. From Janakpuri to Sainak Farms, dilliwallas can't afford to miss this one. Watch it once and you'll be doing it again.

Music by Salim-Sulemaan scores big time, helping the film forward. Aivee Aivee is scattered in bits and parts throughout the movie but you'll love it everytime it plays. Thumbs down to the last track Dum Mast. Slackens the pace of the otherwise racy film.
Overall, I'm sure the directors and actors have had as much fun making the film as the audiences had, watching it. I'm doing it again tomorrow! (*.*)
