Befikre
Befikre (transl. Carefree) is a 2016 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy film written, directed, and produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films. It stars Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor as two commitment-phobic individuals who enter into a casual relationship and eventually confront their feelings for each other. Set and shot extensively in Paris, the film explores themes of modern romance and emotional vulnerability.
Principal photography took place over 50 days in Paris and Mumbai, with cinematography by Kaname Onoyama. The soundtrack was composed by Vishal–Shekhar, while Mikey McCleary provided the background score. This marked Chopra's fourth directorial venture and his first not to feature Shah Rukh Khan.
Released theatrically on 9 December 2016, Befikre received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics, who praised its visuals and music but criticized its screenplay and character development. Despite the reception, the film performed moderately well at the box office, grossing ₹103.15 crore (US$13 million) worldwide.
In Paris, Dharam Gulati, a stand-up comedian from New Delhi, and Shyra Gill, a Paris-born Indian tourist guide, experience a breakup following a heated argument. Shyra returns to her parents' home under the condition that her relationship with Dharam is not discussed. Dharam processes the separation through his comedic performances.
Their relationship began when Dharam arrived in Paris and was introduced to Shyra at a party through a friend. Their dynamic involved playful dares, including one that led Dharam to slap a police officer. They entered a live-in relationship, but frequent arguments and personality clashes led to their eventual separation.
In the aftermath, Dharam and Shyra reconnect and agree to remain friends. They commemorate their breakup with a symbolic padlock on the Pont des Arts and vow not to fall in love with each other again. Shyra begins dating Aney, an investment banker, while Dharam starts a relationship with Christine, a French model. When Aney proposes marriage, Shyra consults Dharam, who, concealing his feelings, advises her to accept.
As preparations for their respective weddings progress, lingering emotions between Dharam and Shyra resurface. A confrontation during a pre-wedding event leads Dharam to admit he is not ready to marry Christine and still has feelings for Shyra. On the day of the weddings, both call off their ceremonies. Dharam challenges Shyra to marry him instead, and she accepts.
Befikre was announced by Yash Raj Films in September 2015 as the return of Aditya Chopra to directing after a seven-year hiatus following Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008). Intended as a departure from Chopra's earlier romantic dramas, the film was conceived as a light-hearted love story rooted in contemporary urban culture. The project was positioned as a youthful romance set against a European backdrop, with Chopra taking inspiration from modern-day dating dynamics.
