Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008)

Hindi Movie.

RAB NE BANA DI JODI is only the third film directed by Aditya Chopra, who also helmed MOHABBATEIN (2000) and DILWALE DULHANIA LE JAYENGE, a 1995 film that has become a touchstone for generations of Bollywood fans. The not-so-secret weapon Chopra has relied on for all three films is superstar Shahrukh Khan, whose physical grace and charm seem boundless and whose irrepressible desire to make audiences love him will surely be requited again in RAB NE BANA DI JODI. Khan plays Surinder, a good-hearted engineer with uncool glasses and an unfortunate moustache, recently married to Taani (newcomer Anushka Sharma, in a ni...

cely nuanced performance). They barely know each other. Taani, depressed over the sudden deaths of her first fiance and her father, insists that she can never love Surinder. Surinder's fumbling, besotted tenderness is endearing as he marches to his cubicle conspicuously bearing the lunch prepared by his new wife; Shahrukh's effortless comic timing also makes the engineer's unrequited adoration hilarious. When Taani decides to enter a dance contest, Surinder invents a secret identity, Raj, and becomes her partner. Raj, a flirtatious hipster in entertainingly appalling t-shirts, is a familiar Shahrukh goofball (even his name is an homage to Shahrukh's DDLJ character) who cheerfully takes smackdowns as he learns to dance.

Of course, Chopra gives Shahrukh plenty of room to show off how well he actually can move. When Taani falls asleep in the movies, a terrific song-and-dance dream sequence riffs on some of Bollywood's greatest oldies, with Shahrukh in musical segments that recall yesteryear hits of Raj, Shammi, and Rishi Kapoor and move from 1950s sepia-tone to retina-burning 1970s technicolor. Taani may need more time to appreciate Surinder as the hero of her dreams, but viewers will quickly recognize the old Aditya Chopra-Shahrukh Khan magic.

Writer/director Aditya Chopra proves that love knows no distinction in this colorful romance concerning an average, kindhearted Punjab Power employee who enters into a glorious romance with a vivacious and beautiful young artist. To look at Surinder Sahni (Shahrukh Khan), one might presume that the honest, hard-working man has led a mundane, loveless life. Perhaps that was so, until recently. When Surinder meets the fun loving Taani (Anushka Sharma), the sparks begin to fly and the two polar opposites find themselves drawn together by fate. But while the road to romance isn't always easy, for every teardrop shed ...

Surinder Sahni (Sarukh Khan) is een simpele maar eerlijke man die werkt voor Punjabi Power. Zijn oninteressante, alledaagse bestaan straalt een en al saaiheid uit. Wat een verschil met de vrolijke en grappige Taani (Anushka Sharma), die het leven ziet als een blanco doek waarop ze haar eigen creaties en kleuren kan tonen. De twee zijn absolute tegenpolen, maar de liefde kent geen onderscheid. En zo kan het gebeuren dat Surinder smoorverliefd wordt op Taani. Er volgt een ervaring vol met blijdschap, gelach, pijn, verdriet, tranen, muziek en heel wat liefde. Een ervaring die ons laat geloven dat er altijd wel een b...
