All of us have small movies in our lives. Those movies may be a romantic movie, or a action movie, or even a thriller, and all of us feel very, very happy and enthralled when the type of adventure that we had in our real life comes onto the big screen. Profession movies are always interesting. People who are in that profile can take some time to laugh at themselves and the others get an insight into their lives. And when the profile that is being shown is the thankless, frustrating and very abused salesmanship, one should be ready for a interesting fare.

Plot:

The movie tells us about Harpeet Singh Bedi, who is basically a person who just scrapes past his examinations and finally lands a job in a computer selling agency.While the premise of the movie is a computer selling agency, it is more closer towards the atmosphere and environment in a DSA - A direct selling agency. Direct selling agencies can be considered to be mercenaries who are sent by the company to go where they don't want to caught dead, doing deeds that they do not want any liability for, and basically some fall guys who can go down and get dirty.

Well, to put it mildly, consciences and morals are lampooned away somewhere in the thirst for monthly budgets, monthly targets and other aspects that take more importance. Put a morally upright like Harpeet Singh Bedi in such a scenario and all you have to do is to wait for the volcano to explode.

The script and the storyline may seem a bit weak, and the incidents in the movie may feel to be completely implausible. But take it from a person who has worked in the sales line for two years and in a DSA for eight months, what is shown in the movie is just the tip of the iceberg.

Ranbir Kapoor continues his  romance with the camera for the benefit of the audience. Everything about this guy is star material, the way he emotes, the way he acts, the way he reacts, his timing, comic timing, everything. Ranir Kapoor is the full package. The highpoint of course is the reaction that Harpeet Singh gives when he comes across a situation that he is not comfortable with, or something that he did not believe would be happening to him. That expression is worth a thousand words.

The Yash Raj Camp has succeeded in introducing an array of new, excellent actors to the mainstream cinema, and that can he taken into consideration to forgive them for Dil Bole Hadippa.

The climax of the movie may seem a bit stale and tame for for the front seaters. But look at the movie in perspective and you will understand that you liked this climax better than any over the top climax that is so common in Bollywood movies. Get this movie for Ranbir Kapoor, if nobody else.
