Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008)

My all time favorite movie.. I watch this all the time, Its simply beautiful..

I didn't love this movie, but I'm frustrated at how most of the negative reviews are focused on the wife not recognising her husband. Have none of you seen Superman? In that, Lois Lane doesn't recognise that Clark Kent is Superman, and yet I doubt any of you would complain there. It is a trivial plot element that can be overlooked - and in the film's defence, they did try and justify it by making romance a bit magical (though probably didn't need to go that far).The film was sweet, colourful, and fun to watch. The music was great and the acting was decent. Having said that, I think there were some fundamental flaws in the films and tricks they missed:1. Why should the girl love Suri when he offers her none of the love and fun that Raj does? I don't understand why she is supposed to settle for the 'real' Suri when he is so boring. If Taani is supposed to compromise for her husband, should he not also become a bit more like Raj and meet her half way? It would have been great if he had started dressing a bit more fashionably for her even in his 'Suri' self. 2. We are told that Taani is a loyal and decent wife. Yet it is completely out of character for her to think about running away with another man. I was a bit disappointed that she didn't even tell Raj she was married and spent so much time with him outside home.3. A perfect twist to the film would be for Taani to have known all along - it would have been a nice way of showing that Taani did recognise his heart from the start but she also wanted to see how far Suri could go. But without this twist, the story was very predictable.These things make the film very frustrating for me. But at the same time, I don't want to fault it too much as I think it is still on the right path - I'm fed up of the show-offy 'Don's of Bollywood today. Romance is still where it's at.

cause it's a HUGE hole: amritsar is the heart of punjab. NO - repeat NO - married woman is going to be cruising about town on the back of a bike and spending the day and going out to dinner with a single man who is not related to her! they would have done better to locate the movie in mumbai - slightly more cosmopolitan - or even out of India altogether. New York, perhaps, or even London, England. heck, London, Ontario would've been a better choice.aside from the plot hole big enough to drive an Ice Road truck through, the movie is wonderful - tender and sweet.SRK does a lovely job of portraying a quiet, mild man driven to extremes by panic when his lovely wife tells him she must "kill the old taani" and become a new one in order to be his dutiful wife. he's a nerd - he knows he's a nerd - but he wants her to remain the carefree, vivacious, outspoken girl she was the day he fell in love with her, hence the creation of his alter-ego, "raj", a "cool", "macho" "dude" (who really isn't - *wince*).anushka sharma does a great job (esp for a debut!) but she's a bit "jennifer aniston" to me - there were times when i'm guessing she was supposed to look thoughtful or pensive but came across as calculating. but hey - who am i to judge?

Adi teaming up with SRK after a decade roused an worldwide interest. If not another DDLJ, the audience were expecting nothing less than "Mohabbatien". ۞ SRK:: As the la Amol Palekar, he delivers an honest performance. Sadly the same cannot be said when he puts on the mask of "Raj". As with the all the superstars, even SRK has got imprisoned in his caricature. On the same note, had the character of Surinder Sahni worked with the audience (and especially with his fans), RNBDJ would have paved way for a natural transformation for SRK to experiment with unconventional projects. ۞ Anushka Sharma:: Very strong screen presence and come across as a natural performer. Need to make a good choice to establish her standing in Bollywood. ۞ Vinay Pathak:: He is talented no doubt, however his delivery seemed to over-perfected and therefore doesn't come across as natural.Music by Salim-Suleiman is simple at its best and after a while grows on you. "Haule Haule" deserves a special mention.The disguise of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde probably invited flak like a swarm of bees. How on earth could Taaniji fail to identify her husband? Allow me to be devil's advocate - "because she is not supposed to" in the first place! The entire movie is based on this very presupposition. This apriorism is borrowed from "Satyam Shivam Sundaram" and interlaced with Yashraj sensibilities. Sight is greatest boon to bestowed to the human, but the very same can turn into a biggest curse by blinding the heart. Now go back and watch RNBDJ with fresh pair of eyes, you will see the underlying message from Aditya Chopra (and his master, Raj Kapoor).
