Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi - Sandeep's Review

Suraj Prabhakaran is Busy.... That can be another meaning to the title of this post. In any case, here is yet another movie review from our pappular... err. sorry.. popular Sandeep Kumar, The man with lot of girls following (or should i say following lot of girls!! :-D)... Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.. from S@ndy..

There was a time when audience were as innocent as cinema technique was primitive. Filmmakers relied on the audience's total suspension of disbelief as they drew them into an emotional web and kept them hooked till the end. When they came out they were all teary-eyed or goofy-grinned—slightly embarrassed at being so easily manipulated.

Get ready to experience another magic experience after 8 years from Aditya Chopra, Aditya who enthralled the masses with his captivating direction in the film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is back with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi after 8 years. This film is a beautiful romantic movie with Shahrukh Khan in the lead. Anushka Sharma is debuting in this film and is pairing with Shahrukh. This film is all set to mesmerize the audiences.

As the geeky, introverted minor bureaucrat Surinder Sahni, Khan gives an amazingly astute and well-observed performance (the right accent, even the right nerdy shoes), plus a lack of vanity, so that looking at him, nobody could tell that he is a major star.

All the songs have been picturised very well.Surendar Sahni character has been really well performed by shahrukh.

Tragic circumstance end up in his marriage to young Taani (Ansukha Sharma), who says right at the start that she will try to be a good wife, but won't be able to love him. The already besotted Surinder humbly accepts crumbs, because he feels he doesn't deserve any better. A dabba packed by her for his lunch is enough to send him into paroxysms of joy.

Taani wants to participate in a dance competition, and with the help of a flamboyant friend Bobby (Vinay Pathak), Surinder gets a makeover and turns himself into the crude, flirty Raj Kapoor, Taani's dance partner. Now comes the suspension of disbelief— with those eyes, that nose, those lips and that Adam's apple, she does not see that Surinder and Raj are the same man.
Surinder gets into the 'Golmaal'-like schizopherenic situation—boring Surinder by day and funky Raj by night.

Even with her resistance Taani falls in love with Raj—there is a cute dream sequence that pays tribute to the old stars and their songs.

Without really underlining it, Aditya Chopra (in the tradition of films like Love in Simla and Chhotisi Baat), makes a comment on the superficiality of judging people by their looks. But the film—with some excellent lines— keeps it simple, the story is just about these two very ordinary people and it takes some doing to convince an audience that Shah Rukh Khan is ordinary. The casting of a non-glamorous, pudgy-faced Anushka Sharma as Taani helps emphasize Chopra's point that even homely and plain people are deserving of great love—if God wills it.

scenes to watch out:-

" oye puutar jaakar poori movie dekh....sab scenes achhe hain.... :-) :-)"

"SANDEEP's VERDICT:-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) 5/5 *****"

"Genius film making from Aditya Chopra! Not everyone can handle this sort of theme - a story that seems to be walking on the edge throughout and comes out a winner.Understated acting from Shahrukh without giving in to histrionics matched scene to scene by the newcomer Anushka Sharma is the second hallmark of this film. History in the making - Anushka Sharma - another star is born!Class"

Thanx to suraj for letting me write here again in his blog....

Merry Holidays.....
