To say Shahid Kapoor is the next big thing is not unreal if you watch "Badmash & Co." Yash Raj Films finally allows a director P Shetty to pursue script with conviction - financial chicanery, family values and friendship with a rags-to-riches redux allows many variations and range of emotions to portray for Shahid aided by glamour from Anushka Sharma. Locations enhance the story rather than distract and absence of violence make it breezy and largely cheerful fare. Movie is just a bit long because there's no twist in the tail but the charm is a straight-forward screenplay that entertains.
