The story is simple but the end, when it unravels, will have you believing in love even more.
The performances are just perfect for their parts. Rajat Kapoor persuasively plays the glib-tongued flirt. Vinay Pathak shows spontaneity in his comic timing and gets the best lines. For a pleasant change, Dalip Tahil breaks his stereotype to play a light-hearted character. So is the case with Navneet Nishan who thankfully doesn’t ham and is likeable as the ignoramus high-society woman. It’s good to know the charming Anu Menon beyond her Lola Kutty image. Iravati Harshe is flawless. Neha Dhupia is decent. Ranvir Shorey and Makrand Deshpande are merely used as complimentary add-ons.
Though not as exceptionally hilarious as Bheja Fry or as deeply poignant as Dasvidaniya, Raat Gayi Baat Gayi (from the Rajat Kapoor – Vinay Pathak camp) is entertaining in its own small-n-smart way.
Raat Gayi Baat Gayi is not everyone’s cup of tea – rather glass of wine. But then again it’s not targeted towards teetotalers of cinema. This one night stand is worth indulging for some wild-wacky-wicked fun.
