Bas Yun Hi is one more film about the restless generation X. It features everything from playing pranks to cracking jokes but what it lacks is the spirit. It is the story of three guys and their three girlfriends. Chef owner Kabir (Sameer Malhotra), stock broker Rohan (Rajiv Gopalakrishnan) and assistant director Aditya (Purab Kohli) are friends. Aditya decides to play a prank on Rohan and brings into the picture an actress, Veda (Nandita Das).

Aditya accidentally finds Rohan`s `kundli` and in it a description of the girl he is destined to marry. This description does not remotely resemble Tara, Rohan`s 
fiancée. He organizes for an accidental meeting between Rohan and Veda. What follows are a series of meetings between the two, which Aditya is filming. The jokes and pranks that comprise the drama are feeble and barely evoke laughter.

The weakest prank is the one which lasts for the longest time in the film. Therefore, the going-on, which are supposed to be funny, are actually quite silly and irritating. Dialogues, which should`ve been extremely witty, are commonplace except for a few places where they are good. Nandita Das is just about fair. She gets very little scope. Purab Kohli and Rajiv Gopalakrishnan are average. Sameer Malhotra, Sandhya Shetty, Tanishtha Chatterjee and Parmita Katkar lend very ordinary support.

Debutant director Raja Menon has not been able to do justice to the film, bogged down as he is by an insipid script. His handling of the subject is amateurish. Songs are of the kind that would appeal to the niche audience only. Song picturisations are ordinary. Photography and other technical aspects are average. On the whole, Bas Yun Hi neither entertains, nor enlightens, having neither class nor mass appeal. Its short running time will be another disadvantage.
