Rab ne banaya di Jodi !!

Filed under: Movies

 

Hello, Punjab Power, Lighting up your life ji !! emoticon [U gotto see the movie for this]

Well, Rab ne banaya Di jodi, is a fantabulous movie, to say the least. For the first time, I liked, no wait, I loved Shah Rukh in a movie and of course I loved the movie too. May be I enjoyed this movies so much, I have no knowledge about the movie before I watched, I mean the star-cast, I dont know its King Khans movie, also review etc.,

The movie starts with a tragic story but, then falls into very smooth and original comedy, with in the story itself, {I mean, no third person as comedian and not with a completely separate track from story line, for comedy}, which is a rare thing to find in any known recent flicks. I was so impressed by the way they presented it. Every comedy scene was dealt with such a perfection, its really amazing. It was handled with so ease. They are just classic jokes with no double meaning dialogues or no rude sarcasm or no criticizing, its more like old time Jandhyala movies in Telugu. The comedy was so natural that the audience reacted so great in the theater [where I watched it, Cineplex Odeon - Yonge-Sheppard, Toronto]. I for the first time felt like, that the whole theater full of people, of all kinds, ages, enjoyed the funny scenes.

Shah Rukh was great as both an ultra - modern [country-side modern :P ] hep[Raj] and a simple, sweet introvert person[Suri]. He dealt with both these characters with so ease, of course, he has to, he is fkin King Khan for Gods sake. After, Chek De, this movie tops his performance, in recent years. He is so hilarious, in the scenes esp, in Suri’s Role.

Anushka a new actor though, performed very well beside the King Khan, with such an ease. She acted [shd I say lived in the movie, too much hunh ??] as a beautiful, country side Wanna-be-urban-posh girl. The on-screen chemistry is what I liked the most between the two lead roles. Of course, Shah Rukh has out ran her in every scene, but for a newbie, still a good performance. For heroine lovers, she is cute and homely and certainly you wont find her hot, because of the role she played. She is 24 and definitely doesnt look 30, as my colleagues described. [I cant believe one of them thinks she is not good beside shah rukh in the movie, I mean just, HOW RUDE !!]

You gotto watch this movie twice, go to your local screening today, ok! may be I am demanding too much, atleast watch it this week end, its always, better late than never. To Genre freaks, I catogorize it as Romantic-Comedy, but, it got the sentimental touch that we Indians want, of course :) and I give 4.75/5

This movie has created a wonderful memory for me, in a theater :) .

Note : This is not a review for the movie, its just what I felt.

Note 2: It topped my top hindi romantic-comedy list beating Jab-we-met.

Note 3: Enlighten your family’s evening with this wonderful movie.

Bye… oops, wait you always have to say,

hum hain raahi pyaar ke…phir milenge….chalte chalte
