I shall admit I have a thing for soppy-romantic-chick flick sort
of movies. This is precisely one of them. But a little off the conventional
norms of love. Its not the usual boy meets girl, girl meets boy, drama, love
and happily ever after thing. You would disagree at this point and say what is
so different between this and any other KJO/Chopra romance. Well, I think, the
difference is in that one particular thought that Deepika Padukone aka Neha has
in the film. That Bunny (Ranbir) wants to succeed, do things (Main udna chahta
hoon, daudna chahta hoon, girna bhi chahta hoon ... bus rukna nahi chahta) and
she will let him. And no heartbreak, lambi judai sort of thing. She moves on.
That is what I liked…
Then you have the usual clichés of “if you love something
set it free blah blah blah”… But it’s all right. They do get together etc but
probably as more “mature individuals” than those who are shown in the first
half. Not bad!
My favorite “character” was, without a doubt, Aditi. Such a
fun, hippie girl. Tomboy from outside, madly in love with Avi from the inside.
And just brilliantly funny. Her comic timing was amazing.
Music and style gets the maximum points. Pritam is the
winner. We now have a new holi number “Balam Pichkari”, a new wedding-sangeet sort
of thing with “Dilliwali Girlfriend” and “Batamaeez Dil” is going to be on the
charts for a while. Ghagra was, definitely, best pictured but I guess that has
more to do with Madhuri Dixit. You will NOT look at anybody else with her on
screen. But my personal favorite is Kabira, can't stop humming the damn thing for weeks now!
Deepika Padukone has outdone herself (again) with the
styling. Whether it was the girl-next-door-pain-jane look or the super sizzling hot Indian wedding avtar, she nailed it.Clothes were just the sort that needs to be in every girl’s wardrobe.
Although the concept of short skirts and cotton t-shirts in snow is suicidal
but hey as long as it looks good on screen, who cares…
Overall, I would recommend this to the all the teenaged
youngsters on today. Its not a breath of fresh air (maybe Kalki is) but it is a
nice thing to watch with friends and laugh about. And then probably hope for a
similar lifestyle (not happening!)
