If you get an opportunity to go back into the past history and ‘fix’ it, what would you do? Turn blithe cartwheels of course, because hindsight gives us enlightenment that we didn’t have, when we were at the moment.
In Nitya Mehra’s “Baar Baar Dekho”, a young man on the cusp of a brand-new life gets a flash into his future, presenting him a differently impossible opportunity to go back and forth in time to mend up the misconceptions that we all seem to make in our relations.

The Film begins with two kids being displayed: a girl in England and a boy in India. Then, followed by the low-key singing sounds of Jasleen Royal and Prateek Kuhad, we’re given a whistle-stop journey of Jai and Diya’s youth and adolescence. We see them growing up, become buddies, support each other, fall in love. By the point the song is over, they’re mounted up and in a relationship.
Jay Varma (Sidharth Malhotra), the maths professor has the gift of time flying, that wondrous thing which he can use to execute everything right between him and lady love Diya Kapoor (Katrina Kaif). What can go wrong with that most entertaining assumption, even if we’ve seen related stuff in About Time and The Time Traveller’s Spouse?
“I don’t understand anything that I cannot calculate,” he explains the iPad-wielding priest who is governing their marriage.
On the eve of their big Dday, Jay finds himself downing a pitcher of champagne after a huge showdown with Diya, where she warns to leave him. He passes out and time flies by where he finds himself on his honeymoon.
A day later, his first baby is about to be born. The next time he awakens, that child is 16 years of age, the life is full of holograms obvious and he and Diya are at junctures in their wedding.
The producers Karan Johar and Farhan Akhtar seem to have completed. the movie in a delightful manner. In the film, gorgeous and attractive characters have a trivial blip in their lives and as goes they live happily ever after. Which is not to say it’s a bad thing.
“Baar Baar Dekho”, for the most part, doesn’t slow down its movement and is peppered with extravagant sets and attractive locations. It’s easy on the eyes and that makes it comfortable to see.
