What happens
Bewakoofiyaan (transl. Stupidities) is a 2014 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy film directed by Nupur Asthana, written by Habib Faisal, and produced by Aditya Chopra under the Yash Raj Films banner. The film stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Sonam Kapoor in lead roles, with Rishi Kapoor in a pivotal supporting role. Set against the backdrop of post-recession urban India, the narrative explores the dynamics of love, ambition, and economic instability through the story of Mohit and Mayera, a young couple navigating the challenges of unemployment and disapproving parents. The film marked Asthana’s first theatrical release and reunited her with screenwriter Faisal after their work on the television series Mahi Way (2010). Principal photography took place in Delhi and Gurgaon, with cinematography by Neha Parti Matiyani. The music was composed by Raghu Dixit, with lyrics by Anvita Dutt. Released theatrically on 14 March 2014, Bewakoofiyaan received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its performances and contemporary setting but criticized its screenplay and narrative execution. The film emerged as a commercial failure, grossing ₹22.2 crore (US$2.7 million) worldwide against a reported budget of ₹22 crore. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
