Finally we got the tickets for the much hyped movie. SRK and Aditya Chopra combination after 8 years...SRK's movie after one year...etc had become the cliche' topics of discussion for the month.

'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' was supposed to break the "Raj" mania which had gripped the industry after DDLJ. If we consider this as the sole aim of the movie, then I would say the movie was par excellence. It did not just break the "Raj" mania but it made people loathe Raj and like Suri.Though the second half was a bit repetitive and lacked originality (as most of the sequences and dialogues were from old YRF) , Suri was good enough to keep you glued to the screen for 2 hrs and 45 mins.

Another thing which this movie boasts of is its relevance in real life. The movie was supposed to show what happens with most of us. How many of us would agree that we wont recognize our spouse if he/she changes hair style and dresses..? Not many I guess. But still the movie is said to be very close to real life. It is true that outer appearance does not matter but is it acceptable that even communication does not matter much? Each one of us loves some person very dearly and all of us want to be loved. I am sure almost all of you will agree that expression of this love also matters equally. But Suri believes the other way round. As per him, his wife should understand his love even without him saying anything. That is only possible if there's a very good understanding between them and this is only possible if he communicates this to her.

And even in real life, all of us do want some excitement and colors in life. We cannot live with a strict routine life, dressing exactly the same way everyday, speaking to others only for some work and that too timidly, talking in a few words which do not even qualify as a full sentence, not taking our eyes off the plates even once while having dinner (that too when your spouse is having dinner with you)!!! All such Suris in real life have to change at some point of the time or other and if they don't then, their only companions at the end are their monotonous daily tasks.

The end of the movie shows Suri changing to a more colorful person, a more outgoing person and a more expressive person. The last 5 mins (star cast part) is undoubtedly the best and most enjoyable part of the movie!!!
