goo.....light up your lives....

Rating: 10/10 (12 December 2008)

One thing is for sure..If you don't enter into a theater showing Rab Ne Banadi Jodi expecting another Raj Malhotra or Raj Aryan, then trust me ,you will surely take home with you, Mr.Surinder Suri of Punjab Power. Suri is someone whom we come across everyday in our lives.He is there in every bus, he is there in every office building and he is there in every by lane of India and he is the most boring person in the world. Surely,its the realness of Suri's character that brings a smile on one's face.Trousers with tucked in shirts and sneakersMy God, I meet such people twice everyday.
There is no point giving any synopsis of RNBDJ so I will jump directly to the views Rab Ne Banadi Jodi , honestly is damn good illogical cinema at its best with a touch of magnificent subtlety.Its a laughathon but behind this super funny film,there is a masterly screenplay ,where the movie reels fly off with one comic situation after the other, but then in the end when we are at the closing stages, we end up realizing that this film is not about Mr.Suri's unintentional buffoonery instead its about the God that resides in him..And trust me, that God is one funny bloke..
Newbie Anushka is a stunner and she plays the role of a one helluva confused girl, extremely well. You can hate her for the decisions she takes in one scene and you certainly want to give her a hug ,for the next step which she takes, and this is what her role demands.. For a newbie, she has done a fabulous job.
Vinay Pathak as the ever helpful barber friend is funny and I hope to see him more with Shah Rukh in future films. The two share great comic chemistry.
The songs are all very good .Haule Haule is a cool crowd pleasure whereas Tujhmein rab dikhta has been shot really well..Dance pe chance flaunts Anushka's dancing capabilities but one big disappointment was the Phir milenge song.I loved this song the most on audio but the picturization was a bit too bland. None of the girls looked good except Lara. I was really expecting another Deewange.I remember this kind of song way back in the early 90's in Salman Khan's Patthar ke Phool..Wish Shah Rukh gave us something like that but then it ain't too bad either The story is actually a one page story and it is indeed commendable that they have stretched it past 2.5 hrs without boring us even once. RNBDJ is a compilation of many old Hindi films like Golmal, Hum dilde chuke sanam and Aaja Nachle but what makes this movie spectacular is Shah Rukh Khan.He is good as Raj but it is his rocking ,shocking ,fantabulous Suri ,who will be remembered for a long time.. Shah Rukh is ageing and it is visible and thank god, he is choosing the perfect roles.Its impossible to think of anybody else as Suri. Shah Rukh is there in almost every scene of the film and I can surely say that he has made this wonderful movie rock big time.
Suri might be lighting up Punjab but SRK had indeed lit up Rabne Bandi Jodi with his magical performance..
8.5 out of 10..
