Yeh Jawani , Hai Dewani

We have seen a million "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara"s by now.. We just dont realize it . Thats all . The only thing that was good about ZNMD was that it was so bloody chilled out yaar. No one gave a damn about anything in the middle of having fun, except Kat and Hrithik who had to sort of make it work since they had 5 days to fall in love and all that.  I digress.  Point being.

Yeh Jawani Hai Dewani tries to do a ZNMD and flops big time. Let me tell you why.

1. Trekking the peak is not an easy thing .Especially if you are not wearing enough thermal wear , and if you are drinking for the first time, especially if you are this nerdy girl who never seems to have done anything adventurous ever. Umm. ok . I will let this go on a technicality that she does look smoking toned (this part comes later in the movie , so i kind of post processed my thoughts here).

2. This movie is not about life and having fun or dreams. Sometimes its just a chronological narration of how cool Deepika Padukone becomes cooler and cooler , decides to lose more and more clothing , and probably is the hottest female doctor , with her own clinic, and is pure 100% desi , and still manages to dance with probably the most awkward Indian looking dress ever ( Bikini sari , i like to call it woot?). Not that m against women doing all that you know .But come on ! Nerd, Doctor, Indian Values , and then this horror ? And why do cool women have to expose everything ? Kya bakwas ! (please do not try to conclude that the converse is true. Mildly dressed women can be cool ;))

3. Seriously did not get the point behind the story. So , this woman who is in love with this man , splits up , and after 8 years of what seems to be proper separation ( he asks her if shes married , has a baccha/bacchan and all ..) , they just get back aise hi ? Just like that ? Man i wish life were that easy ! Jealous of this guy yaar , seriously.

4. Ranbir Kapoor in normal life would have ended up a villian here , accd to THIS story. A man who runs after his career for 8 years , doesnt call his closest friends mroe than 20 times..The only thing that keeps this a good happy ending film is the fact that he has angels for friends. Now , if we assume that everyone in the movie is like Ranbir Kapoor , this movie would have made a little more sense to a lot of us. This movie twists reality while making it look like its all OK. Sorry man,  cant buy this .
