"We can celebrate our breakup."

There is the beauty of Indian cinema in the film Befikre director Aditya Chopra, which has its world premiere at the 13th Dubai International Film Festival.

It is a love story with many music, color, vibrancy, fantasy, dance, passion. The movie is above all lines, and without any shame to show the weaknesses and pains of falling in love, because love is beautiful and we have to show it shameless.

The small prologue is vibrant and exciting with no direct connection with the story but full of meaning for the exaltation of the theme.

Many couples kissing. They are of all types, genders, professions, anywhere: they kiss two people inside of two distinct cars, kissing two clowns, kissing two policemen, kissing in the bus stop, kissing two old couple, kissing two young couple, and of all races, ages, sizes possible.

And kissing two kids with balloon.

Then everything suddenly stops. A TV crashes on the sidewalk. A girl threw it from the window and is arguing with a boy. The camera enters the house. A couple is fighting. They are Shyra, a beautiful Indian girl, and Dharam, a boy, also Indian, in his underwear, and they are facing a furious quarrel.

Despite the couple's origins they are in Paris, France.

The two boys moved to Paris for some time.

What happened? Starts the flashback of how they became the relationship.

Shyra is a tour guide, parents have lived for years in Paris and have a restaurant.

Dharam has recently arrived in the French capital, has many good intentions, his favorite is to find so many beautiful girls. He works as a comic actor in a small theater.

Dhram is very amusing always full of exuberance.

The couple met in a party. For Shyra is only a one-night-stand therefore Dharam begins a courtship. Before was rejected, then she accepted up to live together.

He conquers her because he accepts absurd challenges. The first is very funny and - in very risky in current times - slapping a policeman and escape.

But they also want separate life, Dharam works at night and Shyra wakes up early.

They start to meet new people. Dharam has a date with easy girl, Shyra has a date with a charming banker, rich, with good job, polite

The two new couples will ask to marry simultaneously, and director alternately edits diversity among the various people. The banker is romantic and rent the Eiffel Tower, while the Dharam girl is engaged at the same time in a sensual belly dancing.

Then the story reaches its natural path. The moral is love will win always.

Love is like a dance, has to relax, and let no thoughts, move body.

It is the final passion dance between Dharam and Shyra, is more, like a sexual act, but anyone can understand the true meaning of love observing the sinuous movements of the couple.

Befikre is a Bollywood exported in Paris. It is a demonstration, the genre can hold up even outside the Indian environment.

The language is the same. The camera turns fast.

The actors Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor are very good. They dance like possessed, exaggerate gestures, moves, everything is deliciously. And contagious, because all around them, everyone dances. Even the final fight is a ballet.
