It was just another movie
for Deepika Padukone. With several hits under her armpit, she is on cloud nine
these days. Her recently released 'Piku' did very well at the box office.
However the situation was critical for Ranbir Kapoor. With a lukewarm responses
to his last three movies- Besharam, Roy, Bombay Velvet (the ultimate debacle),
this one was very important for his career graph. And indeed the movie can be
termed as 'Above Average'. The movie saw Imtiaz Ali (the one behind Jab We Met,
Highway, Love aaj kal) and Ranbir Kapoor collaborate for the second time after
Rockstar- the movie which proved that Ranbir is not just any star kid, who is
born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Imtiaz is famous for a particular genre
only, but you can always see a gigantic difference between his movies. His art
of story telling is different from others. This one is different too.
The movie
has a tagline too-"Why always the same story". And yes, the story is
different, though the genre remains the same. The story has three different
versions of Ranbir- One as a small kid who is crazy about hearing a story.
Second as a twenty something year old, who is not at all interested in
engineering but has to do it. (Same as me !!). Third- as a person who is a
manager in a particular company and functions like a robot. The monotonous
schedule goes on and on and he is not really living a life. However in the end
he listen to his heart and works for a field in which he was an A
plus-Story-telling. Indeed the movie teaches us about some of the concepts of
Rat Race. Everyone is just running in the competition and we don't even know
why. The one who wins the race remains a rat and the same applies for the last
one also. But life is not only about being in the race, it is much more that.
So listen to your heart and follow your dreams otherwise a 'guilt' factor will
haunt you forever.
The movie
also has some great dialogues and nice songs too. 'Matargashti' by Mohit Chauhan
(who took singing to a new level in Rockstar) is my personal favourite. All in
all it was a fantastic movie with epic performances by both Ranbir and
Deepika.
