Directed by : Prabhu Deva

Not a movie I expected from Prabhu Deva after the much entertaining Rowdy Rathore (yes I liked it, problem?). From the trailers itself, it looked like a film that wont appeal to me, and it lived upto those expectations.
Sona (Shruti Hassan) meets Ram (Girish Taurani) at her best childhood friend's wedding. Initially they don't like each other, but with time they find tuning and fall in love. But, Ram comes from a rich family so her parents aren't ready to accept Sona whose brother Raghuveer (Sonu Sood) is a farmer. There's a scene where Ram goes out, and in the meanwhile her best friend's parents and few others insult and accuse her for the money she is after and not Ram's love. And Raghuveer makes a entry just when she tries to walk away crying. That is Maine Pyar Kiya revisited. And then the lead hero Ram goes over her village, and tells Raghuveer to give him one chance and he will stay there and earn money like a farmer. That is again Maine Pyar Kiya, plus the conversations between them reminds of Pyar Kiya Toh Darna Kya. Maybe the script-writer was in awe of Salman Khan when he wrote these scenes.
Music is decent, 1-2 songs are good. Though most of them aren't used well.
Girish Taurani plays Ram in a very over-top hamming manner, with all the wierd expressions and stuff he keeps doing. I will need to see him in a proper role to say about his acting, hard to tell on basis of this film despite being a full fledged role.
Shruti Hassan looks innocent but doesn't act it that well as many good actresses have done in past. Her non-acting visible in many scenes.
Prabhu Deva's direction was way below average, there's too much of comedy and drama forced into the movie. There are scenes that look like 'mast hai.. pasand aa gaya' and instead of stopping it at that moment, it goes on and now you feel like 'sab kharab kar diya'. And what was with 'Jeene laga hoon' lyrics used again and again. Some directors should be told that using a bg again and again is acceptable as it does still look good but a high pitch lyrics usage again and again makes it terrible.
Special mention to that unintentional comical character who is around Govind Namdev, couldn't stop laughing whenever he was shown. Also, the spoilt rich girl character wasn't less funny either.
Only Vinod Khanna and Sonu Sood to some extent were likeable.
Ramaiya Vastavaiya failed for me for a cliche old story presented in same manner with nothing new to offer and even low on entertainment quotient.
Verdict : INTOLERABLE
