Debutante director Arjun Bali’s ‘Ru-Ba-Ru’ is out in
theaters. Starring Randeep Hooda and Shahana Goswami
in the central roles, the film is an out and out
love story. The movie tells you as to what happens
when one tends to take love for granted and opts to
ignore any feeling of love for those who matter.
Arjun has borrowed the subject from the Hollywood
film, ‘If Only’. Although the man has taken the
theme from the American film but as it happens
mostly with our Bollywood filmmakers (who borrow the
subjects from Hollywood), he too fails to generate
any oomph for the audience. Reason: bad direction
and poorly written screenplay. The film very barely
manages to complete the length. Here the writer
seems to be loosing grip over the story. The
emotional sequences seem to be forced into the
narrative sometimes and the dialogues appear unfit
at times. Nonetheless, since it a modern day story
so it has some attraction for the young generation. |

Tara (Shahana Goswami) and Nikhil (Randeep Hooda)
are in a live in relationship. But other than the
live in aspect, the entire flick has a stereotypical
story. Nikhil is a workaholic and has no time for
his girlfriend. He begins to take Tara for granted.
As their emotions take a backseat, the spark between
the couple start to die down. The weeping
girlfriend, on the other hand, wants commitment but
the boy is too busy to make it. Taking a stand on
their relationship headed nowhere, |

Tara decides to walk out of the rutted affair. Soon
the guy evaluates the relationship when the things go wrong.
He tries his best to change the events to his convenience
but destiny has different plans.
The movie starts with romance but turns into a psychological
thriller. The climax ends up with confusing note. Arjun
Bali’s direction is mundane. Andre Menezes’ cinematography
is okay. The music is strictly passable. As for the
performers, Randeep Hooda delivers a fine performance.
Shahana is pretty good too. Other cast is average. |

On the whole, ‘Ru-Ba-Ru’ is an avoidable venture. |
