Rab Ne bana Di Jodi, but hamara kya ?? Hum ne koi gunaah kia hai jo aisi filmein dekhne ko mil rahi hain humein ??
Rab Ne Zaroor banayi Jodi, but Yeh Jodi ek Bachchi aur Ek Budhdhe ki hai.
Anyways. I ll date back to 1997, it was a sunday and I walked into the ShingaR Cinema in Shamrala Road of Ludhaiana, only to listen to a yearning Rahul whining Maya, Maya and Maya all the time. The After effect of Rahul's war cry, rather love cry Maya was so painful that I left the cinema half way, headed to Sachdeva Medicos and got a strip of Asprin and walked home. I Pledged, I ll not watch a Shahrukh Khan movie in a thratre for sometime now, unless its a non - romantic, mushy, cheesy affair. I have sustained it till date, but happened to fall for RNBDJ and got hold of a P-DVD of the same.
The Movie starts with a Father and his daughter getting off the train, oops its the husband and the wife. Don't know why but the Mohalla walah's follow them up to thier house until Mr. Surinder Saini, lovingly called Surri, shuts the door on thier face. He gets nostalgic and then we the poor audience, get to know that ohh the nice man, took the word of the dying father of Taani and married her. Miss Taani gleefully tells him that she wont be able to give him love, which Saini accepts saying " Maine aaj tak kisi LADIES se pyaar hi nahi kiya, meri ko kisi LADIES ke saath dosti bhi nahi hai. SRK stamps it yet again that he is GAY.
Ok now, Mr Saini, has an ever romantic guy, the JAT RAJ in him and with the help of his friend bobby he discovers him, in order to impress miss Taani and become her Dance partner for a competition she was about to participate in. :) So Dance pe chance mil jaaye. :) Wonderfully executed logic and a good lesson taught to all we married men that change ur hair style and wear clothes which would have been fitting u at the age of 14, and there is no way ur wife would recognize u. Good, I might try it out someday.
Ok Now mr Raj has entered and the film reaches an all time high of succeeding in irritating the fcuk out of people. I got a chance to get up and take a sutta break, after all hum hain raahi pyaar ke fir milenge chalte chalte, in my balcony where in the usual exchange of affection with my dog happened, making me realise that some things ( my dog, kaaloo ) give me so much of happiness while a so called actor like Shahrukh is yet again giving me pain. Conclusion - Dogs are better than SRK.
Anyways, its been 15 mins and now I got back to the movie, So Mr Raj arranged for the whole of punjab to get lightened up by then in the form of I love you just to express his love to Taani. Taani is confused, awww so not seen before in a YRF flick, and asks Raj to go away. Slowly she realises that Raj is the one for her, runs away to him leaving Surri ( which off course is Raj ). The lovers confess and decide to run away just after the dance competition is over.
But no ji, Taani partner ji happens to go to Golden Temple with Suri Ji aka Raj Partner endressed as Suri ji and finds her rab in the face of Suri ji, mast hai na ji, so not predictable na ji, wow ji. And yeah and pointed out earlier, She went with her husband so off course when she opens her eyes will see him, no one else, hai na Ji ...
Anyways, she again tells of Raj off and hence Raj doesnt come for the competition and Suri turns up in the 11th hour and dances with Taani ji and then Taani ji realises that Raj Partner and Suri Ji are the same and she has finally found her Rab, which rubbed us the wrong way.
No Scene in the movie is convincing and there is nothing in the movie which makes u feel good. God Know what is making SRK fans feel that its a feel good film. Technically this movie is worse than Yuvvraaj and Drona.
Aditya Chopra fails to impress yet again, and surprisingly Jaidip too. See this is the difference between a logically thinking director like Shimit Amin and a director who concentrates only for the AWWW factors of the audience. Aditya Chopra needs to hibernate yet again and this time permanently.
Performaces are laughable: Shahrukh is niether convincing as Surinder nor as Raj. As surinder his attempts to impress his wife wouldnt have even impressed a low class. His facial expressions were forces and did not come naturally to him come what may. As Raj he was doubly irritating, SRK as Raj in RNBDJ made Hritrhik in MPKDH look like Al Pacino. A Strictly below standard performance by SRK. 1.5/5
Anushka Sharma definitely looks good but can someone tell her that tragic dialouges arent delivered with a smile on the face all the time. Taani isnt the character which will do any good to Anushka's career going ahead. 3/5
Vinay Pathak was the sore thumb in the movie and I felt really angry on him for selecting such a d grade role. He is a great actor and he shouldnt sign these kind of films. Enough Said.
There are no other characters in the movie.
Music - is average to below average. No song has an ever lasting effect in it.
Overall - At the end of the movie, I felt as if I was a hostage at Taj for 3 days and finally some farishta has helped me out and saved me from terrorists like srk, anushka and aditya chopra. and the movie which never looked like is gonna end, finally ended.
A movie which will be forcefully liked by SRK fans and genuinely disliked by general cine-goers.
Rating - 0.5 out of 5.
