Ultimately, the core of this film is it's message: that there is nothing stronger in this world than unconditional love, and, for a die hard romantic like me, there's nothing better. Be it the scene on the dining table with the rose, the Biryani meal and the consequent self-conversation afterwards, the changing room dialogue, the celebratory dance at the salon, each left a lasting impression on me.

He had some great dialogues to boast of and was a good match for SRK's Suri - the two share great comic chemistry resulting in plenty of fantastic situational comedy.Ĭharacterizations aside, what I truly loved about this film were the little moments. What to say about Vinay Pathak? His portrayal of the loud-mouthed and agreeable Bobby was believable. While she doesn't appear to possess someone like Deepika's megawatt glamor, she fills the girl-next-door requirements of this film admirably, while singing, dancing and emoting like a filmi veteran. I am blown away by the professionalism and artistry of recent first-time leading ladies. His mannerisms are distinctively and uniquely Surinder Sahni.Īnushka Sharma (Taani ji), gives an amazing debutante performance.

I think Shah Rukh shows his seasoned talent by being able to portray two such very different characters, and when I watch Suri especially I don't see SRK at all. Sigh!) and his melodramatic dialogues, because underneath it all was still our sweet Suri. I loved Raj for his exaggerated facial expressions, his flashy and too tight clothes (which were also at times a little to small exposing a little bit of skin. Raj, on the other hand, was a hilarious and spot on portrayal of someone who tries to be what he thinks is cool, resulting in a total over the top characterization. Even behind the glasses and moustache (which, let's be honest, what was the big deal really with the look? It's not like he hasn't changed his appearance for films before - Paheli, Hey Ram, Chak De!), there was a sincerity to Suri's character that appealed to even the most hard-hearted I'm sure. Surinder Sahni was a refreshing and sympathetic character. That was a first for me.) Even with all it's questionable theories and overacting, I love everything about this film.įor me, there's nothing better than to watch Shah Rukh work his cinematic magic. For me it will, without a doubt, always be special for the simple reason it was the first, and so far the only, Hindi film I've seen in a theatre (interesting side note: I was told by the ticket counter lady that the tickets were non-refundable as I purchased them. I think this is a movie that you either love or hate, without much room for middle ground. The stakes were definitely high when Rab ne Bana Di Jodi was announced, but I knew I would love it, even before I saw it. Yash Raj Films, Aditya Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan.
