A lot has been said about the latest flick from the YRF camp - Jab Tak Hai Jaan...
Somehow I could not watch this movie while it was still in theatres so thought of making the most of my Sunday. I decided that I will not let the previously heard/ written review color my thoughts.
As I pen my thoughts, I must tell you in advance that what you would read next is not the so called critics review of the movie but how I related to it. I should have named this post after the movie but since I have already written one with that title, I decided to take one of my fav lines from one of the songs as the title.
JTHJ had many pleasant surprises for me. Be it the visual delight of London, picturesque Leh, my darling Royal Enfield, the lovely shayari, verbal notes that strike a chord somewhere, the haunting music, the wild dancing and above all a beautiful portrayal of one of the most important emotions that touches us throughout our lives.
Somewhere I related to it all. Many of the verbal notes felt as if they were meant for me, giving a sign... a hint and if not for anything else, they resonated the feelings that I experience at times.
Be it the nudge that SRK gives to Kat urging her to get to know the real her, or the moment when SRK challenges and fights with the One above for taking away Kat, or for the cynicism that encroaches upon SRK in the ten years that he spent apart from Kat, or the time when Anoushka realises that she is in love and says - "Meri to lag gai", or the moment when Rishi said- "I waited coz that was not the time for our love".
I simply loved the zest for life that SRK exhibited during his days in London. When I saw his brooding figure as Major Samar Anand, I so wanted to hug him and tell him that love will happen again and the fact that he needs to stop fighting the demons that had singed his past.
And how can I not mention my darling Royal Enfield. I simply could not take my eyes off the lovely beast and I so want to ride it again.
Only a crazy soul, a dervish( read wanderer) at heart would get to feel what this movie is about and I think I happen to be one of those. I loved and felt the moments that this movie had to offer. Critics be damned...
How do I feel?
"छल्ला तु सबदा ...छल्ला तेरा कोई नयी ...
छल्ला गली गली रुल्दा फिरे ..."
