Aditya Chopra was back with his love triangle featuring Raj , Mr Suri and his wife (I neither remember her reel nor real name). The much awaited movie of the year finally released but it was a lackadaisical attempt. The director was not able to use his magical wand on people as he did in his last two directed movie in terms of business/popularity.
Usually I keep myself safe from watching such mainstream movies and enjoy some off- beat movies but as it was much talked and Shahrukh really influence a common man (I have seen people emulating his reel role in real life and end up in stalemate situation.) that made me to see it.
Back to movie…
The Raj is again in lime light for his cupid act, but it is first time Raj got defeated from common men. The film starts with Shahrukh in his old scooter which reminds me of Swades. His transformation to Raj reminds me pre-intermission Shahrukh for KKHHai. The song with multiple heroines is OSO reminder. Some of the Raj PJs reminds me of Salman of Hello Brother. Some of the stunts which do not go with the mood of the film were useless and unnecessarily copied. The scene of golden temple is so common but first thought came into my mind was RDBasanti. The way of proposal by illuminating Amritsar was earthly version of Kyon Ho Gaya Na (Vivek/Aish). The fight with SUMO was similar to Akshay’s encounter with these Japanese creatures in Mr & Mrs Khiladi which was justifiable but for Mr. Suri it was a fluke. The heroine eventually falling in love with her Husband and does not elope was Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam concept.
The good thing is in this era of aam aadmi where this middle class rules Mr. Suri strengthen them. Shahrukh himself admits that 99.9% of men are like Mr.Suri (though I don’t agree with his % but I could understand his message). Second best thing was ‘Haule Haule ‘which was the main attraction and currently my favorite which again turned out to be plagiarism. Another catching line was “tujhme rab dikhta hai” which I could understand only after watching movie which puzzled me earlier in people’s orkut caption.The last but not the least it boosts the arrange marriage.
Overall good attempt which was njoyed by a section of society and as far as brand Shahrukh goes he is still King Khan. Long live Shahrukh.
