Good review meetu. You are perenially favorite among us as the place to go to before shelling out the exobitant rs. 150 a head movie ticket. You save us time money and a lot of frayed tempers.
The story sounds quite exciting and different. I think i'll go and check the movie out.
lol yashraj films are nonsensical taking ppl for granted
[...] Meetu,without giving the movie away [...]
I had absolutely zero expectations from this film even though it boasts of an Aditya Chopra-SRK combination so I didn't come out too disappointed. The whole concept behind the movie is good - where beauty is only skin deep and its the heart of a person that truly matters but it has been stretched so endlessly that towards the end of the film especially the last half hour you feel like tearing your hair out and praying for the movie to finish. Not being a very big fan of SRK I was disarmed by his rather charming performance spot on as Surinder but completely over the top as a stereotypical Raj. Not his best but up there with Swades and Chak De India. Anushka is very average - she has the required innocence but Deepika she is not. She is awkward in many of the key scenes in the movie that required someone with a bit more experience. However with a bit more polish she will go far. Vinay Pathak is good but not been utilised properly. The music is average. Overall its a must for SRK fans - he is good in an otherwise very very average film that could have been a masterpiece if not lost in translation.
This movie is crap. Even Lucky Oye Oye Lucky was much better in terms of logic and overall flow. Reviewer seems to be a 'Upper Class, Super Star loving Puppet'. I used to come to this website because of its RSS feed, but reviews here are not consistent at all.
Nothing much to say....I guess a more suitable tag line would have been "Its same old story with chopra's every jodi"
Thanks Silvan. The applause sounded about the same :) I saw it in E-square a local multiplex in Pune.
Thanks for the trust, MovieBhakt.
:) Sudhir Nair. What do you mean by "i can’t fathom the bit about the heroine not knowing the difference between the two guys in her life"
Ruchi, at your service ma'am! :D Believe me, the pleasure is mine.
Movie Buff, the concept is interesting indeed - Love after marriage in an arranged marriage set-up. Do let us know what you think.
Thanks for putting your thoughts down here, Jay
Now, where did you get that from, Prabhash? I can't handle Shah Rukh doing those weird things in the name of acting.
Ashwini, I thought the story was a little different, in the sense that it explored the relationship in terms of love and romance after marriage.
OH ..HO .. it is simply at torcher ..starts with good note but carries with loads of weight on it! it is not movable neither the character ,except the simple SRK character ,the other one is simply the worst .His wife cannot recognise ,his hubby as she is not able to sport a mousatche ..Alas! a simply -utterly no-sense movie .What is the point the director wanted to proove ..god knows..
the movie has the concept of developing love, which is the case in most of the arrange marriages. no one could have pulled this off besides shah rukh. now come on people you cant always have a movie which is dealing with real life and situations. this is defenatly a worth watch movie once. now if you still cant take this movie, i would say go watch LIFE IN A METRO and see how filty the real life sinario is. I am sure some uncles must be already looking at themselves in the mirror.
its just a movie just enjoy it people.
sanjeev.
Now, where did you get that from, Prabhash? I can’t handle Shah Rukh doing those weird things in the name of acting.
exactly man same here
i agree with sanjeev
comon guys it was a gr8 movie i hav seen after jaane tu yaa jaane na
i m nt sure if ppl r nw thnking only by there realistic minds ignoring they hav heart inside...yea i agree on sm part which r hypothetical e.g new make over n his wife cannot recoginze him bt still u cant throw such stones on this movie n d beautiful concept it carries
You ppl cant see d essence of love shown beautifully by srk n he is d best fr it
1 more thing...sm ppl dint lik its sngs either...well i can only say tht "Those ears which r deaf hearing Rockon's sngs everyday can neither hear these type of soft muzic n smooth lyrics
For me movie realy deserves 4/5
Star Wars - In a glaxy millions of light years away…. so real man
Independence day - steeped in reality man …
Face off - wow its really really real..
Armageddon … lets all go and ride the comet
superman — hey hey hey i just saw him fly overhead
ET - smile!
Hobbits are my next door neighbours and the dark knight just ate my dinner.
whatever this firangi craps all over the place i will lick it lick it so real so reeaaal .. i will lick the firang reality kicka$$
get a life man and enjoy the movie. Its the best feel good movie ever! a real novelty of fantastical proportions.
cant beleive such a rubbish movies could be produced by this director. pakka bakwaas. time waste movie. just stay away. looks like shahrukh concentrating on his business and performing movies just for the sake of doing it. take my review seriously or waste your time.
who says this is how love unfolds in arrange marraige?ask ur parents guys,they will tell u better story.and we cant blame these idiots for misconcepting arrange marraige,as they are not "used" to it.hahaha..
anyway worst movie of the year..SRK sit back home,,when cinema is leaping ahead in such a dramatic way worldwide,what rubbish these yrf are making,,?SRK u please quit demolarising our cinema.
a shear nonsense, stupid story,yakkk acting by the newcomer,i will give 1/5....( 1 point for the scooter of srk ,,i liked it )
now waiting desperately for ghajini(though its copy of memento.u see we realy think original ,isnt it?)
prashant believe it or not, there are a few arranged-marriage couples I know who have had similar feelings about the spouse immediately after the wedding. Obviously, not to the extremes of one changing avatar and the other being a big enough fool to not recognize, but I'm talking about the awkwardness, the missing element of romance, etc.

I liked the movie. But i guess i'll give it a 3
I thought this was the remake film of "Shall we dance" english movie.can u try to do anything new.
I saw a Hindi film after many months and I liked it very much. Excellect for those who wants to know what is true love in marriage.
the story has one point and one point alone. be very careful which hair style you choose and what shirts you wear. great educational film. must see.
I liked the movie. But i guess i'll give it a 3
Hmm...imagine ji the difference lack of moushtaches and psychedelic clothes make. no one can recognise ya in themji...not even ur own wifeji
I am from Malaysia. I love this movie. Watched it more than 10 times. I don't know where is the beauty of the film except the love concept of a man. It juz like other Hindi films. But I notice smthg here...... the movie show the real love of a man to his loved one. SRK is the best actor ever.This film is not his best shot as other films. But all of you have to know, no one else can play a role of a man who badly in love with a lady , in a positive way and can touch all women's heart with his acting. only SRK can do it. I really appreciate this film for the actors, actresses, scripts,beautiful song anD dancing. LOVE CAN'T BE MEASURED BY APPEARANCE. THAT IS TRUE. THANK FOR ALL WHO MADE THIS FILM SUCCEEDED.
I usually like Meetu's reviews. But must say was surprised to see that she thinks "Rab ne bana di jodi" is a must watch on DVD. I thot Jodha Akbar was way more sane than this one! And Meetu did not like Jodha Akbar...
DIS IS VRY VERY BEST MOVIE BY SRK,,DID U THINK IN DIS FILM SRK LOOK LIKE DDLJ RAJ..I LOVE DIS MOVIE..AGAIN AND AGAIN I KEEP SEEING DIS IN FUTURE..SRK ROCKS..LOVE U BHAI..NEW CONCEPT OF DIS FILM IS EXCEPTIONAL
