bunty aur babli Preview
Bunty Aur Babli is the story of two dreamers who don many guises on their journey to riches and fame. On their trail is an eccentric cop.
The film stars Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukherjee and Amitabh Bachchan in the leading roles.
Abhishek Bachchan plays Rakesh, a man who dreams big but lives in a small town named Fursatganj. Rakesh's mind is a fertile ground for all kinds of schemes, ideas and plans to become rich. However, he knows he can achieve nothing living in his small and sleepy town. So he sets out to write his own destiny and realize his dreams of riches.
Rani Mukherjee plays Vimmi, the self-proclaimed queen of the little-known Pankinagar. She is unlike the other girls of her town. She is uninhibited, wrestles in her father's akhaada and teases boys, rather than the other way round.
Vimmi, too, is a dreamer. In her mind she is a beauty queen, a clever woman who can outfox anyone and so on... Vimmi sets out on a journey to fulfill her dreams.
As fate would have it, Rakesh and Vimmi, the two dreamers of our story, meet accidentally and are rechristned Bunty and Babli.
Realizing the similarities of their dreams, the two chum up and set out on a journey that will make them rich and famous but at the expense of the people they will fool.
On their journey together, Bunty and Babli don many guises. They become spiritual gurus, bureaucrat and secretary, gangster and moll, business partners, hen pecked husband and pregnant wife, lawyer and sexually harassed client, vagabonds and lovers etc.
But on Bunty and Babli's trail is an eccentric cop Dashrath Singh (Amitabh Bachchan) , the DCP of crime branch. He hates the people who mess up with system.
Dashrath Singh has only three passions - smoking bidis, munching chana and hunting Bunty and Babli.
Directed by Shaad Ali, the movie is a Yashraj production and has music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. Gulzar has written the lyrics for the film's songs.
