Film Review - Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

Today has been a day of realisations and it ended on a positive note with a masterpiece called - Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara... I guess I loved it more coz I am at the crossroads in my life trying to figure what I need to do... 

Kudos to Zoya Akhtar for weaving a beautiful story with amazing photography and poetry by Javed Saab. The cherry of the cake is the son- Farhan Akhtar as the madcapper, funloving copywriter cum poet who steals the show against Hrithik and Abhay. 

A simple story of 3 friends who goes on a roadtrip to fullfill their pact made in college days reminds of the promises we all make. Each character is beautifully essayed not forgeting 'Bagwati' ;) 

The movie proved yet another point which a lot of filmmakers have forgotten and that is comedies can be clean and abuses need not be made into script but script can have abuses. It is so subtle that one does not realises and the moment passes. 

Music is different and very hummable. Senorita and Ik junoon rocked but Der lagi lekin maine jeena sikh liya stays on ur lips after the movie... 

Katrina pulls off as a mixed indian well but it seems she can't do anything else but that. Kalki as overbearing, possesive fiance is alright. The Ja Chudail song would suit her better, but just wouldn't go with the vintage hue of the movie. 

Spain and adventure sports are to die for.. So before I die one more thing added in my bucket list and which is Spain Roadtrip.. Kya pata Zindagi Na Mile Dobara...
