If you own a production house and its your first movie from the production house, even closer relatives(here Bebo) have already declared the movie big blockbuster. Then you are the only person to be seen in very scene of the movie. Very common feature for all the Khans(Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan and this one too).
Saif Ali Khan gives you glimpses of very character he has played earlier. Without giving away much of the suspense, his acting and expression as an actor are much better in the Saradarji character -
Veer than the ultra-modern dude - Jai. He can not speak Punjabi as the younger Veer to save life(literally). That's brings to a similar point when ever Deepika(Meera) speaks in English it is perfect; when ever she speaks in Hindi, immaterial in London or Delhi she has a very heavy Marathi accent. Interestingly, she has one or two lines of really intense emotional dialogues where then we start to burst out laughing.
Most of the times Jai has been talking monologues even though the other character is in front of him and he just cant stop talking, but at the same time, he says what he wants to say but cant believe that he actually said that. Then he goes back on what he said and knows for a fact there will always be a chance. Confused, go watch the movie - it is interesting enough to be entertained, feel good about it and then forget about it.
Rishi Kapoor, (the elder Veer) in the movie. He never surprises me with his performance. He has the maturity and and he has the right attitude, right expressions, the right dialogues, the right accent of the Punjabi where ever emphasis is required. He is the right person best suited for this role. no questions here at all.
Rahul Khanna, I just feel bad for him that he does not get the girl cause he did not produce the movie. Once he starts producing the movie, he will get the girl at the end of the movie.
The songs, being a Punjabi, I love the songs. Only wish he had used some of the old songs specially when the movie goes in flashback that would have been cooler. During the shaadi scenes he could have used the popular Punjabi shaadi songs. Anyway, the mix of the songs is also not
bad, would surely be playing for quiet sometime in discs for sure - twist and Aahun Aahun on the slower version Dooriyan is nice soothing moment song.
What I loved in the movie the similarities and parallel stories that are happening between 1965 and 2009, starting with structure similarity between Delhi and London and the emotional similarity between the couples. The Being Cyrus look of Saif Ali Khan, Saif Ali Khan having black coffee(me too switching to black coffee - Americano cause cheaper and gives a kick just with the aroma of coffee). Deepika looking pretty until she opens her mouth speak Hindi in Marathi accent. Rishi Kapoor totally awesome.
The other thing that I loved in the movie is that the movie would be liked by both elders as well as youngsters alike.
