If you look at the kind of comedy films that have released recently including the upcoming film trailers, then this film despite having a story that has been done many times before.. still engages you thanks to a small duration and tight screenplay.

Husband is wrongly accused for fraud of money by Sabbarwahl (Ravi Kissan), so Mrs.Baweja/Mummyji (Dolly Ahluwalia) decides to take revenge. Her son Sukhi (Tusshar Kapoor) helps her in it. Also Sukhi's best friend Ballu (Ranvir Shorey) and Mintoo (Vinay Pathak) whose wife is in jail for the same crime helps Sukhi and Mummyji. And their team increases when Sukhi falls in love with Manpreet (Vishakha Singh).

The narration of story is very steady, only one song that has no link with the main plot is used. And that too I feel didn't appear misfit. The jagran song was my favourite one. Though none of the songs has the repetitive feel, and you don't feel like listening to them after coming back from theatre.

Despite all good things about the film, it still doesn't have that special material that would make me say that its among my topmost revenge comedy films, probably Khosla ka Ghosla leads it. Yes, the flashback of why revenge is taken was well handled and done away with in right time. But, the thefts could had much more in it, be it drama or humour. Also, the scenes leading to the next theft weren't powerful enough.

Dolly Ahluwalia got decent role, but I would have loved if they had kept her actively involved in most of the thefts. It would had resulted in few more comic moments involving her. Felt she was under utilised.

Ravi Kissan was quite good though I wasn't happy with his last dialogue scene. It was good to see Vinay Pathak in a better role. Ranvir Shorey is good in supporting role. Manpreet looks beautiful, there's something about her voice that I like a lot. Even in Fukrey, it attracted me. Tusshar Kapoor was okay. Also, actor playing servant of Sabbarwahl was very good with those sms jokes including the final one.


Bajaatey Raho is average despite all the merits.. yet its worth watching once. 1st half specially gives good laughs.


Verdict : AVERAGE
