Babli Bouncer

The plot for Babli Bouncer was on point. A village of male bodybuilders all working in the city, and now the village supplies a local female bully as the bouncer as well. It could have elements of comedy, antagonist too big for the protagonist to go against, societal no-nos to overcome, and yet have a social message at the very end.

But even with so much right elements to play, the director lost track of where the movie should head. The writing is really poor, dialogues almost cringe-worthy, and Tammanh's acting potential all gone to waste. I could rate the movie lower, but the enjoyed the premise during the first-half. But the half-baked romance, instable friendship, weak protagonist motivation, and the lack of any imminent threat left during the second half was not enough to leave a mark.

I will cover this review in a QA format for a change.

Does it provide entertainment? Yes, it is a pretty entertaining movie.

Is it boring anytime? I didn't find it sagging anytime. The narrative was free flowing and music helped to keep the tempo going.

How is the direction ? Madhur Bhandarkar is known to have made serious films on various subjects which have exposed the inside working of some professions. This movie deals with the less discussed profession of woman bouncers and the difficulties encountered.

Is the plot new / interesting? It is definitely a novel plot presented in a nice manner.

What about dialogue? It is fairly witty and does help in keeping the movie going.

How is the acting ? Tamanna has made character bubbly and bouncy which most people will like. She has interpreted all shades of the character convincingly, including the action scenes. Sourav Shukla as the father is endearing. The others have provided good support.

Any negative points ? The plot is predictable at some points, but not an issue since a number of movies have predictable plots. Also there are a few unconvincing scenes.

Is it recommended? Yes.

Plot of the Movie

Babli, girl from the village of a Delhi, gets a job as a lady bouncer in one of the clubs of Delhi. Post that, she realizes her true meaning of life from there the story takes a turn.

Inertia of the society towards women empowerment, notion of the women been confined to kitchen walls. Are these really need to be addressed again and again.

Story penned by Amit Joshi, Aradhana Debnath and Madhur Bhandarkar, really need to figure out. They should realize that although atrocity happens but its not the topic to be represented again and again on the screen.

Tamannaah had chosen a character which is different from her commercial kind of characters. She able to justify the character with the village accent.

The situation portraying babli's mugglesness with delhi culture blended with cuteness & immatureness was beautifully extracted from her but still the movie fails in its story.

One side love failure making realize the women that she is not worthy enough, then a journey of her hardships to prove her mettle. All these are outdated.

Overall, a forgettable one-time watchable movie.

It is a light entertaining movie but is tacky as far the Haryanvi speaking abilities of its protagonist go. I think more efforts should have gone into that aspect to make it more authentic. Notwithstanding that acting is good by Tamannah Bhatia & Saurabh Shukla whose Haryanvi speaking was much better & convincing. Supporting cast also is OK. I quite enjoyed the movie with my wife who was also appreciative of the overall quality of the cast and the story line. It has come as a gust of fresh air in the otherwise current gloomy scenario of mainstream cinema & OTT content. I think more such short & sweet cinema will do good.

Babli Bouncer is one of the best Hindi film of Tamannah Bhatia until now in terms of her performance. As far as story is concerned the plot is good but is not going anywhere which means we didn't see any effective conclusion of what is happening in the film. We as audience miss Madhur Bhandarkar kind of cinema in it. The dark side of the society and how the character comes out positively from it. Movie also lacks good music and songs which should be there in such kind of movie to catch the attention of the audience. Its a one time watch you can enjoy with your family and friends. You will get entertainment.
