I seriously am not a fan of Srk's films except someHis films mostly are too sugarcoated, larger then life.etcThis film is just a routine story and nothing great In fact SAATHIYA had a similar story which also had Rani in the same role but that is betterThis is just an ordinary film with ordinary stuffOf course Srk fans will find it greatIt has SRK doing his usual comedy, romance, dance everything he has done before Even an airport sceneDirection by Aziz Mirza is ordinary Music is goodSRK does his usual stuff, Rani is as usual but looks gorgeous Jas Arora is okay Satish Shah and rest are okay
... View MorePriya's (Rani Muherjee) performance as a controlling, dominating, "Nit picking" "Neat freak" wife was excellent +! Raj's(Shahrukh Khan)performance as a hard worker, responsible, faithful and romantic husband was Outstanding! Music, songs and dances were beautiful, lively and sexy. They looked like a lovely couple. They loved each other very much and were faithful to each other but it appeared that there were personality conflicts, and family class differences between them because Priya was from a upper class family and Raj was from a middle class family. According to Priya's family, Sameer was the ideal husband for pry, but Priya chose Raj as her husband.Priya's aunt interfered in Priya's and Raj's marriage. She did not approve Priya's new friends whom she had met through Raj. She also did not approve Priya's life style and believed Priya was not leading a life style that her family had dreamed and had hoped for her.Raj was positively proud of his hard work and his accomplishments as a business man. Knowing that how Priya's family felt about him, he felt inferior when he was around Priya's family especially aroungd Aunt Anna and Sameer as Sameer was the person Priya's parents had chosen for her as an ideal husband.Priya did not compliment Raj in a party that was hosted by Sameer although she complimented Sameer. Feeling inferior and insecure, Raj had to ask a waiter about his suit and Watch while Priya was dancing with Sameer.At home, Priya refused to eat dinner after Raj had complimented her cooking. She also refused to hug him after he had brought her flowers and vegetables and had washed the dishes after coming home working all day while Priya was a home maker.Raj ran into financial difficulties with his business. He did not approach his father asking for help. He did not go to her relatives or friends asking for help. Priya did not approach her father for help. She did not go to her relatives and friends either. She went to Smaeer asking for help. He gave her 2.5 million rupees as a favior. Priya falsified to Raj about where she received the funds. When Raj had found out about from whom she got the money from, the hell broke loose. Later, Sameer made it look like only a loan.Although Priya had admitted to Sameer it was wrong for her to accept money from Sameer, she never appolagized to Raj for accepting the money.No one in the world is perfect. There are no perfect marriages in the whole world. Raj took all the blames. He fell on his keens and publicly appoligized to Priya, Aunt Anna and Sameer for every problems in their marriage.Raj is a hard worker, family type of person, he loved Priya very very much and was a faithful husband to her.After considering the type of person Raj is and if some like Raj was to be my husband, I would have eaten my dinner with him. I would have greeted him at the door with a hug or kiss when he had arrived with vegetables and flowers. I would not have nagged him every night about petty things until he had exploded. As a home maker, I would have put away his shoes and would have hung up his jacket after he had returned home from a hard day of work. I would have appoligized for being a nagging wife. I would have apolagized for requesting and accepting money from Sameer because it takes at least two to tangle
... View MoreTo provide the other perspective on the film, it was still a hit. Probably the 1st good hit of Dreamz Unlimited, but definitely not Aziz Mirza's first with Shah Rukh Khan. The film is a feel-good film, that tried to tackle the usual problems of married life, but in a light manner. Yes, at the end of it, you kind of feel cheated, because you feel the problems have not been addressed properly, let alone been solved in the story, but you also leave with the feeling that you've laughed at the stupid jokes for the last 2-3 hrs... You remember Shah Rukh stupidly trying to persuade Rani to accept him, or stupidly trying to butter her up when she is angry after the wedding. And most of all, it's appealing because, as SRK himself says, it's him a role that's not larger than life. It's not superhuman Devdas or Asoka. It's stupid Shah Rukh as we've seen him in down-to-earth films like Raju Ban gaga gentleman, Yes Boss, or even Dilwale dulhanya, kuch kuch, and dil to pagal. It's a character that could be us...
... View MorePotential Spoiler alert -- if you don't want to know what Shah Rukh Khan wears in the movie don't read any further!This movie is a vehicle for Shah Rukh and he lives up to the demand in spades! He is fantastic as Raj -- the most believable person he has played to date. Although it is possible to see that he is in pain during some of the dance number, he more than lives up to the challenge of his suffering. He has become a man rather than the boy that he played in his previous movies. Together with this maturity come the problems of adulthood and his character deals with them in a sincere and realistic fashion. Rani is an admirable foil to his shining star and in my view he is so luminary that he outshines/obliterates everyone else in the movie! If you like Shah Rukh (and I think it is clear that I do), go immediately to see this movie. A final opinion is that it was great to see this movie in the movie theatre -- a huge Shah Rukh is breathtaking! The man looks fantastic in whatever he wears -- watch out for his kurta, the Greek embroidered shirt and can he wear a pair of jeans!
