“Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara” truely runs on its title. This is Zoya Akhtar’s second film after “Luck By Chance” and truly she has improved on that. It is not that I had not liked Luck By Chance. It was a good movie but a unique concept and it was really difficult to identify with it. May be the reason being that we all claim to know our luck and claim to even wear our luck but in fact are constantly in search of our luck.
ZNMD is the simple fun loving story of three school time friends on an adventurous holiday and in due course find a new meaning to their lives. Seems to be a very simple narrative. Isn’t it? Yes, it is simple and very easy going, but it doesn’t mean that the substance is missing. It is so that always we don’t need a very dramatic twist or a mind blowing incident to make a great story. This movie teaches you the real meaning of the word important. What do we perceive of this word “important”? Something big, significant or may be noticeable. There is the catch. In order to look for something bigger we neglect the small simple things in life that may also be of equal importance.
I found each and every scene of the film properly placed in its groove of the whole narrative. You get to know, in fact understand the emptiness in Farhan’s life. The reason for the coldness between Hritik and Farhan. Also the reason for the lack of chemistry between Abhay and Kalki. Zoya has played with our imagination by first letting us witness the difference before putting forward the explanations it in the narrative. This way we can identify with the characters, their reactions and their actions.
The whole movie is picturesque and Spain looks inviting. The spontaneity in the dialogue delivery sounds it more real. All the actors have performed to the best of their ability and I would specially like to mention that Katrina has come a long way in terms of acting. Naseeruddin Shah and Dipti Nawal made an impact in whatever few minutes of screen presence they got. I will share the scene that portrays the strength of Naseer in terms of acting.
The much talked about kiss in the movie.
The fabulous song “Sanorita”. You will love it. All the three have proved that they can seriously sing.
How can I not discuss about the heart of the film – friendship? It has the flavour of “ Dil Chahta Hai” but we won’t mind it. There were three college friends who move on with their lives and here are friends who are meeting after moving on with their own separate lives and explore their lost friendship and camaraderie. You can say that it is the continuation of “Dil Chahta Hai”.
A must watch film for sure.
