Besharam is Ranbir's first tryst with an out-and-out masala film. A genre that's suddenly caught the fancy of every actor in tinsel town. But, unlike most masalathons, Besharam is no remake of a South Indian blockbuster. This one's more like the vintage masala films that we relished in the Bachchan era. The premise of the film is simplistic, but the real test lies in padding the screenplay with gags, punches and moments that would keep you completely enamored in those 2.20 hours. While ‘Beesharam’ does have moments that can be termed pleasurable, the consistency is clearly missing. These moments are sporadic, coming up intermittently, but what takes you by complete surprise is the crude humor that's integrated in the narrative. I mean, one doesn't mind the toilet humor as long as the situation warrants it, but it seems completely forced in this film. If we talk about the performance, then, it is up to Ranbir Kapoor to salvage the show and I must admit, the actor flaunts the attitude all through. He is simply brilliant. The corny lines he mouths, the flashy clothes he wears, the pelvic thrusts in the songs, it's a good departure from the kind of classy roles he has portrayed in the past. Pallavi Sharda looks completely misfit in this role and the pairing with Ranbir lacks the fizz. On the whole, this film proves the adage 'All that glitters is not gold' absolutely right. Unfortunately, this film is a huge disappointment!
