Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara - Movie Review

How often do we come across a movie that is crafted to perfection - every bit of it? How often do we come across a movie that makes us feel so good? How often do we come across a movie that inspires you to change?

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is one such rare occurance in the world of movies! What do you get to see in this movie? Life! Its a story of three friends who go on a road trip through Spain and each one has something in his agenda. The narration is simple, straight forward, witty and brillinat. The movie does not preach on how you should live but makes you realise what you've been missing in life.  

The starcast is perfect with each actor fitting in so well in their characters, one couldn't have asked for anything better. The performances, brilliant! One actor who steals the show right through the movie is Farhan Akthar, brilliant performance be it acting, singing, dancing or the dilogues he wrote! Katrina, looks ravishing and this is one of her best appearances. Farhan, Abhy, Hrithik, Katrina & Naseeruddin Shah look so natural in their characters that you never get a feeling that you are watching a movie. There is one more very interesting charachter called Bagwathi played by a new face, that one will sure have you in splits

:-D

The songs and the background score have complemented the movie very well. The songs blend in so well in the movie, so much so that people in the theatre sat and watchched the complete song that appears when the end credits roll. The movie makes you feel good and the background score enriches that experience. Check out for the background score during the sky diving sequence, bliss! Shankar Ehsaan Loy have always made brillinat music for Farhan Akthar and this time they have done it for Zoya Akthar too.

The photography is astounding! The camera work is very well done, probably one of the reasons you don't feel like you are watching a movie. The way the entire skydiving sequence has been covered is brilliant, we've nevver seen anything like this before! Carlos Catalan is the cinematographer, have not done much of mainstream cinema but has his creidts on a lot of short films.

The dilogues complements the characterisation, they are witty, well written and very well executed. Kudos to Farhan for the same. Phrases like "Arjun my buoy. Tum the is the uniform mein toh the mental lag rahe ho" and "Because only the Mr the Dubey can the talk like that." are already part of the day to day conversation for most of us. Javed Akthar has done what he is best at! The lyrics and the poems are simply superb.

I was not very impressed with Zoya Akthar's first movie Luck by Chance but man what a transformation Zoya has brougnt in since Luck by Chance! She's made this movie so well that it has pushed her brother's (Farhan Akthar's) 'Dil Chahta Hai' to second spot in my list of all time favourite movies. 

In a nut shell, the movie is astoundingly brilliant, refreshing, makes you feel good and gives you an enriching experience.

You only live once but you can definitely watch this movie howmany ever times you want.
