SRK’s movie released and I had to go to see it , come what may. Got the tickets booked in advance on Saturday eve. A huge queue in front of the ticket counter told everything , of course people were dying to see this flick. Needless to say , the theatre was houseful .
Plot - Everyone knows about the plot by now , hence I wouldn’t be talking about it. I would like to say about how and what I felt during the movie and after it.
Movie started with a very calm , serene , holy and peaceful presentation , with a soft holy music in the background. Gave a very pleasing look and I kept appreciating YRF about their efforts. But the movie trails forward very very slowly , which makes it boring in the latter half and you want it to get over as soon as possible.
Its a very simple love story which tries to leave a mark on our hearts . About a guy who is deeply in love and his efforts to make his wife happy and basically , HIS’ , is worth appreciating. Atleast the way he tries to make her fall in love with him showed his true love for him.
Some moments from this film leave a lasting impression. The scene on the dining table with the rose, the score of "Haule Haule" being played intermittently at regular intervalsfor little happiness’ of Suri, the Holi scene, the "Yellow Tiffin Box", the Biryanithing are few of them. You would feel for Taania to love Suri and not run away with Raj. And finally Suri’s happiness in Raj’s tears were worth watching.
Actors-
Shar Rukh Khan ( Surinder Sahni) - Well , he is able to play his magic in his own way. Adi has always been famous for giving larger than life movies , king size palaces and branded clothings. This is way different and SRK has just played the simplicity he had in Swades , just this time , he looks a bit mature and old to dance around with a teenager girl. Thats why I liked the dance sequence at the end , where he plays his real age and not a forced macho. It is fully logical to show that the movie was made for. SRK has his fans from all the agegroups. So , his fans might be a bit disappointed this time , coz after an year , we expected a lot lot more. His spikey look is for sure not good for him. But all in all , good job there SRK. After all it needs guts to play such a different role. I am sure you would have charged Adi with two hero’s money ;)
Anushka Sharma ( Taani) - Well , the most simple girl for this role to say so. She couldnt have been asked for more. She is naturally beautiful and her no- makeup or less- makeup tells so , so less that even her acnes were visible at some places. Nice dress designing for her , she looked like a typical punjabi girl for sure. She looks promising and dedicated and has way more to go.
Vinay Pathak (Balwinder Khosla / Bobby ) - Just this week I saw his Dasvidaniya and what a complete turn of roles. Its a unique role I agree but one thing is for sure , he is a versatile actor and is perfect for commercial and non-commercial cinema. Good going and ofcourse , he looks much better with that loss of weight.
Music- Songs are nice and good to see. The dance sequences in the movie are good and peppy and that multicasted song ( Chalte chalte mix) is also good . However one song which is to remember is "Tujhme rab dikhta hai ", I loved it.
I agree the movie has loads of loopholes but still since its an SRK movie and that too under YRF banner , people can not and will not miss it .
Overall , a disappointing movie , could have been better . But despite all this , I wouldn’t be able to say "Dont Go For It ", rather its atleast worth watching once.
