Jokes about teachers. Fights over girlfriends. Silly word games. Bare chests. Rippling muscles. Streaked hair. Sigh. Glossy looking and beautifully written. I must confess by the time I finished watching Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara I was convinced that no one can make a bromance as beautifully as a woman
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara Movie Online
The film is gentle, taking time out to look at horses running in the meadows, feel the wind the air, swim with the fish underwater. All that male beauty may be a little manipulative and the plot is a little contrived--three adventure sports to test your courage--but the story keeps you engaged.
A meditative take on growing up, becoming a man, taking responsibility for one's actions, it has the courage to go for long periods with no dialogue. A scene where Hrithik Roshan does a Finding Nemo and another where the boys discover the joys of sky diving is all about just being. Seizing the moment. Living for the day. Yes, yes, cliches all, but shot with such sisterly care that the boys flourish in the female gaze.
The other buddy (Farhan Akhtar) is a closeted poet, and an advertising copywriter by day – "creative type", as it were. He's in his early 30s – like his best friends. Between these "three musketeers" plays out a picture that instantly takes you back to the said lead actor's own stunning directorial debut. Comparisons, even allusions to a possible sequel, are inevitable.
It's been exactly ten years since fall, 2001, when Farhan's Dil Chahta Hai, a game-changer for Hindi films, brought to us the rich, carefree, well-kept metro-sexual man of the urban Indian multiplex. The film also coincided with ten years of an open economy that, among other things, eventually split India's cinema audiences into (metropolitan, mall-rat) "classes", and (unwashed, single-screen) "masses". Dil Chahta Hai, in trade journalese, debatable as these terms may be, was a film for the "classes". Probably, so is this.
Character traits of three thick friends there, could be somewhat swapped with the smartly cast actors here too. Well, more or less. There's the intense guy (Hrithik, for Akshaye Khanna's role); the goofy, hen-pecked one (Abhay, for Saif Ali Khan's character); and the compulsively flirtatious (Farhan, for Aamir Khan's part). What's important is that you love this film for about the same reasons you adored the light, breezy Dil Chahta Hai.
They say that it should have been thoroughly enjoyable, but instead, it turns out to be a tad boring and uninspiring in the end.
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is a great name that Zoya, a daughter of top class poet like Jawed Akhtar. But some critics pan her for the sort of monotony that crept in the film through the end.
The film is patterned on very popular theme that is common in Bollywood films. It revolves around three very rich pals that include Kabir, Imran and Arjun. The three go on a long holiday before the marriage of a friend Kabir.
They take off to Spain and begin an adventurous excrusion that include their instructor Laila. But this part of the film is devoid of any chemistry between the three actors who try to look like school going boys. And sadly in their thirties they don’t look like one.
