Different Worlds Apart

Watched Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi last night and loved it. As there is no chance the movie hitting our theatres anytime at all and with the official DVD still to be released I d/led a really bad screen rip but OMG! it was worth it.
I can't wait to watch it on DVD :)

So what did I love?
- SRK makes Suri so ordinary looking with his 80s wire glasses and mustachio, the trousers and those white long-arm shirts. He is adorkable and boring and yet so dependable. He is loved by his friends and colleagues and I just LOVE him. Not because he is SRK in guise but because he is such a nice and calm man. He is steeped in tradition and yet in so many ways he is such a modern man, a man with respect towards women and an innate goodness. In his not so handsome looking ways he is a true hero, sensitive, dorky and just lovable.

- Anushka Sharma as Taani. She is weak, yet strong, traditional, yet modern and I like that she - even though she had told Suri that she cannot love him - still has enough feeling of guilt, to care about him.

- Bobby!! A fashion-challenged, motorriding hairdresser - what is not to love? Bestr friend of Suri who is the voice of reason to Raj.

- the music ... oh I love all the songs and the picturizations. Wonderfully done and just fit. For a couple of movies now I mostly waited through/ffw through the songs as they came on so sudden, didn't fit at all and left me feeling like they were put in at random times and not helping the overall plot at all.

- the dream sequence with Kajol and SRK dancing ... YES!!! Even though SRK can make any female lead sizzling hot and create the perfect jodi, Kajol and Sharukh are still my favourite pairing. There is a sense of carefree friendship, of respect and just enough mirth and taking the mickey out of each other that translate to hot sizzling chemistry on screen. *sigh*

All in all a very happy, happy movie, with the right mix of feminism (SRK I love you for that, esp. as a male, Muslim Indian), comedy and Angst.

As for my health ... still coughing and sneezing ... I guess I have to cancel my tandem with Yuriko tomorrow :( I hate that. I really do.
