Cast: Shahid Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Anupam Kher
Director: Anurag Singh
Rating: 4.6/10
Dil Bole Hadippa is a Bollywood remake of a popular Hollywood movie. Although it lacks a realistic story, average performances, and a great cast, this film is a fun watch. The songs are great, and the love story is sweet and endearing. I highly recommend it! However, if you’re looking for a good Bollywood remake, you might be better off looking elsewhere.
Rani Mukherjee
Dil Bole Hadippa is a feel-good film that will appeal to a broad range of audiences. It stars Rani Mukherjee and Shahid Kapoor as a young cricketer with big dreams. Veera dreams of playing in the big league alongside Dhoni and Tendulkar. She also hopes to become a cricketer and win the Aaman Cup.
The film is directed by Anurag Singh and is set in the Punjabi heartland. It’s a romantic fantasy set against the backdrop of a nationalist love story. It’s also a feminist comedy with a female drag star, Ranbir Mukherjee. Sadly, the film falls flat in its execution and lacks an underlying message.
Although Rani Mukherjee isn’t the best actress in the film, she does give her best. Despite the flaws, she is a wonderful Veer. While she is a little irritating as the woman in the lead role, her switchover to Veera was a smart idea. Though Shahid’s performance weighed down the film, the movie itself has a nice ending.
Anupam Kher
Dil Bole Hadippa is the director’s confident directorial debut. The film offers a blend of comedy and emotional scenes that are well suited to the premise. In the first half, we see Veera Kaur, who has an intense obsession with cricket. Veera and Anupam fall in love and the film builds on these initial scenes beautifully. We also enjoy the fun moments, including the memorable cameos from Shahid Kapoor.
The film follows a cricket match in which the local team meets the Pakistani team. In the film, Veera, a cricket lover, dresses up as a boy and plays for the team. Despite this, Veera is a very bad player, but he still manages to impress the audience. It’s a good watch for fans of cricket, and even the non-cricketing fans.
Dilip Tahil
Dil Bole Hadippa! is Dilip Tahil’s latest film, and while it’s a lighthearted romantic comedy, it also touches on some serious issues in our society. In addition to the lighthearted tone, the movie is filled with references to films from Bollywood’s deep history and echoes different messages. However, the film manages to retain a light demeanor throughout, despite being centred around a woman dressed as a man.
The plot of the film is similar to the 2006 Hollywood film, She’s the Man, which was adapted from Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. Veera, a member of a local theatre group, dreams of playing cricket. Her idol, Rohan, is a county cricketer in England, and he returns home after suffering a heart attack. He is recruited to captain his father’s cricket team, and Veera becomes Veer Pratap Singh!
She’s the Man
Dil Bole Hadippa is a celebration of Yash Raj Films, a film company that epitomized Bhartiya Sanskriti in Punjab and still does. This Bollywood remake of the Hollywood blockbuster She’s The Man seeks to capture the spirit of a Punjabi village while regurgitating the recent library of the company. Despite the patriotic sentiments that permeate the film, the overall quality of the movie is subpar.
While the film is a flop, it is still worth watching if you’re a fan of Shakespeare’s plays. The movie features Amanda Bynes as a young woman who plays a sport as a man. Both movies revolve around a woman who plays sports in disguise – the English version revolved around soccer while the Hindi movie is based on cricket, India’s national sport.
