Besharam Movie Review
Ranbir Kapoor is often hailed as the next big thing in
Bollywood — a young star who knows what he is doing, chooses his scripts with
care and delivers top-notch performances nearly all the time. If that is the
case, Kapoor must have had a very bad day at work to say yes to“Besharam” (Shameless). Kapoor plays Babli, the protagonist in
this Indian version of Robin Hood. He is a thief who steals swanky cars, sells
them and donates the proceeds to the orphanage where he was raised. His talent
catches the attention of a gangster (Jaaved Jaffrey) who hires him.
But one day, Babli unwittingly steals and delivers the car of
the girl he loves. Once he realizes this, there is only one thing to be done.
There is also a subplot about a squabbling couple (Ranbir’s real-life parents
Rishi and Neetu Kapoor), who are in the police, and have made unsuccessful
attempts at catching Babli during his earlier capers. Even this does not work,
mainly because Kashyap saddles them with vulgar dialogue and a series of
gross-out sequences involving actor Rishi Kapoor — including a defecation
scene. Ranbir Kapoor does not look too convinced himself about the film or its
outrageous plot. He’s no Salman Khan or Akshay Kumar.
