Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi..

Indian movies run on star power. This is no exception. SRK power guides the movie right from word GO to ENOUGH!

Watchable for all the fans of SRK (me included), but bearable for others. Not worth spending 180 bucks in PVR/Inox. Better spend that watching Gajini.

Songs are a drab. Both Haule Haule and Dance Pe Chance were so badly picturized that I had a hard time believing human were involved in their choreography.

Cannot summarize better than this-
"Destiny plays a cruel joke on an extremely enthusiastic young girl Taani (Anushka) as she loses her fiancé and his family in a road accident on the eve of her marriage. Her father, a retired professor, on his death bed requests her to marry his old favorite student, Surinder Shahani (SRK). Taani obeys his last wish and thus begins the start of this extraordinary love story between an otherwise ordinary jodi".

Mix this with dance, music, hip hop gyrations and 'love wins over lust' idea.. and you have a Bollywood hit in the making.

Shah Rukh Khan (as has become his vogue) is simply superb throughout the movie; first as the shy Suri and then the flamboyant, full of energy, Raj. Anushka does well through the film and hard to believe its her first film. She will be more than just another pretty face in Bollywood in time to come.

All in all a movie showing reportaire of SRK skills from the Chopra stable. Most memorable line in the film- 'KUCH RISHTE HUM KHUD CHUNTE HAIN KUCHH RABJI HAMARE LIYE CHUNTE HAIN'

So.. lemme sign off with Phir milenge.. chalte chalte...!

Ciao till next time...Harsha
