My favorite Bollywood film thus far, with the ever charismatic and charming Shahrukh Khan playing two roles (including a beta-male)! The respective two kinds of love are heartwarming and unabashed. Yet, in a way that is uniquely Asian in its selflessness. In the end, what makes this film so meaningful to me though is its take on what true love is (God style).

Vivacious, beautiful Taani (Anushka Sharma) suffers a catastrophe on the eve of her wedding, and at her father's request, she marries his trusted student Suri (Shah Rukh Khan). Serious, nerdy Suri fell in love with her at first sight, but Taani tells him she'll never be able to love him, nor be happy and light-hearted again. Suri takes on the role of a fun-loving Raj in her dancing class, hoping to make her laugh again, and hoping to use Raj to help Taani fall in love with Suri. Things don't work as Suri had hoped, and he sees his chance of happiness with Taani become slim.In this romantic drama, Khan plays an average man as Suri, and brash and loud as Raj, neither the handsome or charming character that is his usual role. This he does surprisingly well. Sharma, in her first role, was excellent, and fully believable in her emotions. While the songs and choreography were average, the cinematography, locations, and sets were lovely. I was conflicted as to the credibility of Taani's reaction to the truth, but otherwise found this to be a sweet and enjoyable film with a beautiful message, celebrating unselfish love.

I didn't love this movie, but I'm frustrated at how most of the negative reviews are focused on the wife not recognising her husband. Have none of you seen Superman? In that, Lois Lane doesn't recognise that Clark Kent is Superman, and yet I doubt any of you would complain there. It is a trivial plot element that can be overlooked - and in the film's defence, they did try and justify it by making romance a bit magical (though probably didn't need to go that far).The film was sweet, colourful, and fun to watch. The music was great and the acting was decent. Having said that, I think there were some fundamental flaws in the films and tricks they missed:1. Why should the girl love Suri when he offers her none of the love and fun that Raj does? I don't understand why she is supposed to settle for the 'real' Suri when he is so boring. If Taani is supposed to compromise for her husband, should he not also become a bit more like Raj and meet her half way? It would have been great if he had started dressing a bit more fashionably for her even in his 'Suri' self. 2. We are told that Taani is a loyal and decent wife. Yet it is completely out of character for her to think about running away with another man. I was a bit disappointed that she didn't even tell Raj she was married and spent so much time with him outside home.3. A perfect twist to the film would be for Taani to have known all along - it would have been a nice way of showing that Taani did recognise his heart from the start but she also wanted to see how far Suri could go. But without this twist, the story was very predictable.These things make the film very frustrating for me. But at the same time, I don't want to fault it too much as I think it is still on the right path - I'm fed up of the show-offy 'Don's of Bollywood today. Romance is still where it's at.

I get that many ppl are big SRK fans but that doesn't mean u like every movie he features in. This is one of the most terribly scripted movies i have ever seen. In fact i don't know why did they even take up this story in the first place.So i ask you RNBDJ fans , What is the story of this movie ? How in hell can't the wife recognize SRK in a mustache ? Was she high or something ? People who enjoyed this movie are either blind SRK fans or have never seen movies which actually make sense.The funny part is that at the end, the director tries to put in a tragedy. Please explain to me where the tragedy is and where the spark is at the end.If such a story can make a viewer emotional, i think either the makers of this movie or the viewers who actually got emotional need serious medical help.
