“Bewafaa is a rip-off of B.R. Choprau0026#39;s classic Gumrah, and it is a great joke of a movie. The only good things about the film are the beautiful locations, the songs and… nothing else! The story is pathetic. It was just a misleading attempt to draw people to theaters. People may have thought theyu0026#39;d see an intense film about betrayal (Bewafaa – Unfaithful) in the light of such films as Murder. But this one is a slow, stretched, boring and flawed film with no story. So unrealistic that you feel it is actually for kids. I mean, Kareena wakes up at morning all made-up like a clown?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is a weak show. Not a single funny moment, no excitement, no love story, nothing. This is a collection of situations taken from different films, and itu0026#39;s incredibly dull. Just follow: she marries her late sisteru0026#39;s husband, cares for his children, soon her previous lover comes back out of nowhere, they hardly speak and someone decides to blackmail her for no reason?? Oh and there the melodrama only starts – a climax full of tears by all the cast members and a separation accompanied with a song… Old clichés, cheap dialogues and poor execution. At the end of the film, you sit, trying to understand what was it all about…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eKareena is lifeless and bland. You can tell her that her car is burning outside, and sheu0026#39;ll still have the same indifferent expression. Anil Kapoor and Akshay Kumar are the same – no impact, no character. Shamita Shetty is hot, Manoj Bajpai is annoying as never. Itu0026#39;s terrible to see such a great actor playing this silly over-the-top character and accepting any role in this film in the first place.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe filmu0026#39;s saving grace may lie in some of the songs, but Bewafaa is still one poor attempt and thatu0026#39;s simply because the director tried to take this immature script way too seriously.”
