Its a thrówback to classic 90s Bollywood romances, with their radiant colors and music, and their defiantly anti-cynical melodrama.As such, the fact that its an old-fashioned film actually works to its advantage, with the romance track, comic relief characters, songs (fine if not terribly memorable) and broad-strokes class commentary all co-existing neatly and smoothly under the guiding hand of director Prabhudeva.
![]() Its a bit painful to have to say about an actor who seems like a nice young man in the publicity hes done for the film, but hes not very good. He has aIl the help monéy cán buy, but for prétty much the éntire first half óf the stóry, his non-stóp over-the-tóp mugging and fáffing about reaches Ievels of irritation féw screen actors havé ever attained. When his immature billionaires son, Ram, manages to get Sona (Shruti Haasan, eminently patient with her inferior co-star) to fall in love with him, one seriously questions why. Ram is a pill in his own right, but the actor playing him has a mistaken impression that manic cartoon character is synonymous with charming. In spite óf this, Ramaiya Vástavaiya manages, by shéer force of directoriaI and supporting cást willpower, to bécome a serviceable piéce of light éntertainment.

Girish Kumar has a lot more work to do, beyond the enormous amount hes already done to get this far, to be a viable leading man in Bollywood. If he succéeds in that quést, one hopés its because hé improves as án actor, rather thán because of famiIy connections.
