Love Breakups Zindagi - Notepad

Love Breakups Zindagi

wogma rating: Watch when on TV (?)
quick review: Love Breakups Zindagi is a very sedate kind of a relationships film. It is a casual and everyday-like take on the subject but it also turns out to be long-drawn and boring. Not worth a trip to the theaters for the one or two insightful things it has to say about romantic relationships.

This page has additional observations, other than the ones noted in the main review.

Plot Summary

Girl (Dia Mirza) meets boy (Zayed Khan). Only problem is girl has already met another boy and boy has already met another girl. Now what?

What Worked

  • Naina's (Dia Mirza) disappointment when she finds out her boyfriend is showing up.
  • I liked the fact that the choreography in the sangeet dance wasn't professional. Gave the wedding a very homely feel.
  • Dia Mirza outfit in the dance mentioned above.
  • The breakups are handled by characters in a very mature fashion.

What did not

Note: This section simply lists the things that I did not like in this movie. This is not the overall impression about this movie. Please read the full review here

  • "main se meena se na saaki se" was cute for a bit, but the entire song?! Goodness no!
  • How come ALL people who have come for a wedding have appropriate white clothes for a funeral?!
  • There is no high point or conflict in the film.
  • Ritu's side story.
  • Boman Irani's character.
  • Riteish Deshmkh's character.
  • Shah Rukh Khanbeing himself.
  • Shah Rukh Khan handing away gyaan on relationships.
  • The "do it for biji" spiel in the end!

Sunil Deepak:

While reading the review I was remembering a Brazilian writer from my creative writing classes.

"Art has to seem life-like but it should be without the boring parts of real life, that is the skill of the writer", she used to repeat.
