Movie Review: Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl

Another of those one time watches... with it's pluses and many minuses.
Ricky is an accomplished con man who picks on vulnerable girls (his current score is 31) to loot them of their money (and even if they fall in love with him, he doesn't take advantage of them!) - posing as a guy with huge ancestral property and selling it off to the girl's builder father (victim #1, Parineeti Chopra as the quintessential Punjabi koodi Dimple from Delhi), promising to deliver high quality zari worked cloth (victim #2, Aditi Sharma as the shy and quiet Saira from Lucknow), and selling a fake Hussain to a large corporate (victim #3, Dipannita Sharma as the sauve Raina from Mumbai)...

When the three girls get together, they track him in Goa, and decide to hit back with a con of their own - using the very sexy and persuasive Ishika (Anushka Sharma), who poses as multi-millionnaire NRI's daughter Ishika Patel, looking to invest millions in a chain of restaurants. The plan is to hook him, seduce him to invest money in Ishika's "venture", and recover the money.

Things turn interesting when Ishika falls for him.. but is it yet another master con? Will Ishika's love turn him, or will Ishika and Ricky double con the 3 girls?

Ranveer Singh carries over from Band Baaja, and show a lot of abs, but I am not his biggest fan. Anushka is already getting typecast, but looks great, and has one of the boldest bikini scenes by any Bollywood A list actress, looking smouldering hot! Dipannita and Aditi are good, but the surprise package is Parineeti (heard she's Piggy Chop's cousin..). She has some of the best dialogues, and her Punjabi koodi act is very genuine and endearing.

Not a bad option for the weekend...
