How she does not allow him to consummate the marriage forms the crux of the tale.ĭirector Agnidev Chatterjee's oeuvre seems to be mounted on an outdated and perfunctory script packed with high-handed dialogues mouthed by Babloo's dad (Rajesh Sharma) and frivolous ones by Chotu and Babloo's uncle (Manoj Joshi). A few months later, at his cousin's wedding, he chances upon Swati (Tejashri Pradhan), an aspiring actress who takes advantage of Babloo's naivety and forces him to marry her. Once again, the heartbroken Babloo finds himself asserting that he is jinxed to remain a bachelor all his life. But a few days before the wedding, Avantika confesses to him that she is not interested in settling down with an unambitious man and requests him to call off the wedding. It does not take long for Babloo to fall head-over-heels with Avantika. Babloo agrees to marry her, despite her confession, after being convinced by his best friend Chotu (Aakash Dabhade) that having affairs is a norm in modern times. Very soon, the best matchmaker of Lucknow, Premanand Tiwari (Asrani), is roped in to find a perfect match for Babloo, who by now is tainted as the eternal bachelor.Īt 35 and under duress, Babloo is introduced to Avantika (Pooja Chopra), an ambitious young woman who confesses to him that she had five boyfriends in the past. A simpleton and a writer of sorts, Babloo in his endeavour to find "the perfect bride" has rejected many proposals. Set in Lucknow, 'Babloo Bachelor' is the story of Ranvijay aka Babloo, a zamindar's son who basks in his father's glory. Nevertheless, it is executed with earnestness. 'Babloo Bachelor' is a simple romantic drama with a hackneyed premise.
