How Extra-ordinary an ordinary story could be !

Rating: 9/10 (14 December 2008)

Before going to theaters, there has been rumour that I heard about this movie that it seems long ans stretched. Critics has given one of the worse review to this movie. But I still took a chance to watch this movie. This movie isn't telling a story about a rich, poor, or some type of thug falling into love. This movie is about an unattractive sophisticated guy falling in love with beautiful modern girl. This is not it. There are more secrets to this movie once you start watching it. Even though I am not SRK's fan, I personally found this one better. There has been comparison with this movie to Ghajini or recalling of Chopra films such as Mohabbatein and Dilwalein Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. The story on which this movie is based on has no kind of similarity with above movie stated. This movie deserved to be watched and then commented. The first hour is about how Suri Sahni(SRK) and Taani(Anushka Sharma) got married though it's just a compromise. But slowly slowly the are working out on their relation although she has made herself clear about can't fall in love with him. Till the song " Haule Haule" finishes story seems bit slow, but then Taani request him of being part for dance competition. Suri agrees to her since he wants to see her smile. He changes his get up and goes to see her dancing. But due to a mis-understanding, he somehow gets involved in dance competition and co-incidentally also becomes her dance partner. He named himself as Raj. She couldn't recognize him so he keep acting like Raj. He also acts so flirty with her. Although She hates him, he still doesn't really change that much. But slowly she starts to get along with him now on. The second hour starts up with dance practice and Suri giving her excuse for not being home on time by saying her that he will be doing over time. Through all these Suri is being supported by his friend Bobby(Vinay Pathak) who contributes for the proceedings. He is worth watching and shares good part with Suri. He also creates few comical moments in the film. Since Taani is spending enough time with Raj and they do starts closer day by day. She starts to feel for him. Thats where the entire story takes different turn. Suri was set out to write his own love story, but it's going in different way. He decides not to tell her anything and leave everything on her to choose where Raj or Suri. Although Bobby tries to convince him to confess in front of her, he denies .
It was hard since Suri is less talking, always into work, and not much in contact with her. On the other side Raj is close to her in the third hour. Without spoiling your fun for watching this movie , in last I would like to conclude that even climax is amazing. Watching this movie was not only different experience, but also this movie is an example of fine class cinema. As far as music is concerned, it's not like previous movies of YRF movies. It's simply good. There is a song where Kajol, Preeti Zinta, Raani, Bipasha, and Lara Dutta is performing with SRK. SRK is soul of the movie and plays his characters well. Anushka never makes you feel like its her first time on screen. She is confident enough and likable. Vinay Pathak will be praised for his work on this movie. I don't think Aditya Chopra has made mistake making this movie.
