What's Your Raashee? Audience Reviews

Lawbolisted Powerful
SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
rajandey Whats Your Rashee, is a very very well made film. The film is about marriage and the zodiac signs. The film has Priyanka Chopra enacting 12 different roles and looks, and what performances man! She is just fantabulous! I was neutral about Priyanka Chopra, but Fashion, Kaminey and Whats Your Rashee made me love her completely! The direction is not up to the mark if compared to previous ventures by Ashutosh Gowariker (Lagaan, Swades, Jodhaa Akhbar), maybe it is because of the genre change, Ashutosh is directing a romantic comedy for the first time.Music is a revelation, Ashutosh was stuck to A.R.Rahman, whos compositions are beautiful. This time Sohail Sen took the music directors seat and did a fantastic job, all songs are extremely melodious and shot nicely. Sohail Sen has a very nice voice himself and therefore crooned a few songs of the film, even Ashutosh Gowariker did a track and that sounds nice too, double thumbs up to the music department.Harman Baweja has acted nice too for the first time after a string of bad performances (Love story 2050, Victory), although he looks kind of stiff sometimes and his body language needs some improvement on screen, Darshan as Devu does a very nice job and is very impactful.The music video Whats Your Rashee, which is the last song of the movie has been shot so beautifully, a really innovative video, and very enjoyable too.I am rating this movie 9 out of 10, would have rated it 7 otherwise, but the Priyanka Chopra and her performances, and the extremely melodious music make the movie deserve more.All in all, go for it if you are in the mood for a sweet movie, with an incredible Piggy Chopps and great music.P.S. I do miss a sequence in which Yogesh meets all the girls and explains them why he didn't choose that particular girl.Thumbs up for sure :)
reubenthegreat88 A remarkable film that looks at the age old tradition of arranged marriages that rely upon the influence of Raashee (zodiac sign) compatibility in selecting the right partner, What's Your Raashee? is a romantic comedy that carries the distinct signature of ace filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker. The film's screenplay is based on the Gujarati novel written by Madhu Rye, titled Kimball Ravenswood, and while Harman Baweja plays the affable Gujarati NRI Yogesh Patel living a perfect life in Chicago, Priyanka Chopra plays a record breaking twelve roles Anjali, Sanjana, Kajal, Hansa, Rajni, Chandrika, Mallika, Nandini, Pooja, Vishakha, Bhavna and Jhankhana all girls whom Yogesh meets in the pursuit of finding his 'suitable bride.'Yogesh is a young man who in his heart has always wanted a love marriage. Till suddenly he is told that he must find his dream girl within ten days to save his family from utter ruin. Finding the dream girl is tough enough. Finding her in a hurry is even tougher. His solution is simple; he will meet one girl from each Raashee , as he feels that is the best way to make sure he finds a suitable wife, while also giving himself twelve chances to fall in love. Two meetings per day gives him six days to meet them, three days to make a final decision and he can get married on the tenth day, or so he thinks.Without getting into further details of the plot and the trouble that the family is facing as it will spoil the viewers' fun, one must say that unlike the conventional romantic comedies that Indian cinema offers today, this film reminds you of the genuine charm and humorous undertones of a Hrishikesh Mukherjee or a Basu Chatterjee film of yesteryears. Gowariker weaves comedy and drama deftly amidst extremely hummable songs scored by young Sohail Sen, and every Zodiac sign gets its own signature tune, coming together as an amazing amalgamation in the thirteenth song, Chehre Jo Dekhe Hain, when the protagonist has to make the final choice, and recaps all the twelve wonderful women he has encountered over the past few days. Needless to say, What's Your Raashee? is a musical, and one that takes its leisurely time to unfold, but it is a film that keeps you smiling with your feet tapping through its three hour plus length. A refreshing song laden comedy that reminds you of Hum Aapke Hain Kaun? but with far more humour and variety, it is also a fine showcase of superlative performances from Priyanka Chopra and Harman Baweja.While Priyanka brings forth a versatility that has to be seen to be believed, Harman gets the Gujarati boy just right, winning your heart with his sincerity he transforms into the perfect Yogesh and carries the film splendidly considering the entire film is his journey and hence the audience sees every match finding encounter through his eyes. As a high concept idea and beyond, you tend to almost forget that each new girl who is introduced to Yogesh is played by Priyanka Chopra, simply because Priyanka through the smallest nuances and behavioural traits ensures that even in such short screen time, each girl has a well defined overall personality and that each girl is independent of the other; no doubt one of the finest performances by any female actor in Hindi cinema in a long time, under the deft direction of an experienced filmmaker with a wide latitude and unsurpassed emotional maturity.Supporting actors like Dilip Joshi as Yogesh's brother Jitubhai, Aanjjan Shrivastava as his father Bharatbhai and Darshan Jariwala as Devukaka, the rather interesting uncle, help in enlivening the proceedings, adding colour to the central plot. Of course, one cannot forget Rajesh Vivek as the enterprising jasoos on a mission through the film, who makes every Gowariker film all the more interesting.Songs like the romantic ballad Jao Na, or Su Che with its mischievous play of words and choreography, or the powerplay of Maanunga, or Pyaari Pyaari with its sweet moments of simple courtship interactions across a working date, are just some examples of how entertainingly every situation is scored and picturised, and every girl has a song to be remembered by.And yes, the film has a lot to say between the music and comedy, be it through Javedsaab's lyrics, or through the director's perceptive observation of our society and the rules that dictate arranged marriages; the fact that only Gowariker can have subtle messages placed even within a light hearted romantic comedy once again proves that his films may have length, but they also will always have a well placed heart and soul, and will be remembered for years to come as both seminal and entertaining.BOTTOM LINE - A Remarkable Film.... a big Thumbs UP !!!
aman_nanda55 First of all, WYR is based on a pretty interesting premise - the 12 zodiac signs. It has universal appeal as almost everyone has read their daily horoscope and is familiar with the sun signs. However, the interesting part stops right there and the movie is treated in a very banal manner. Every girl in the zodiac gets a song of her own - quality and brevity suffers as a result. Perhaps a better idea might have been to have just one-verse songs - it would be innovative while not taking away from the film-maker's vision. For some reason Gowariker sticks to the tried and tested. What we end up is a 200-minute movie. I looked up at my watch at least 5 times, and that is never a good sign.... The best thing about the movie is Priyanka Chopra who is able to create 12 distinct characters and essays contrasting roles be it a simple Gujju village girl or an uber-cold professional with relative ease. Harman has his moments especially when he is empathizing with other characters and remains understated. The rest of the cast is real and authentic for the most part and keeps moving the story forward unlike the songs. All in all, WYR had the potential to be a rom-com with small sub-plots - almost a la PG Wodehouse. However, it turns to formula and ends up in the mediocre realm.
