Z for Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

In today’s material world how many of us are lucky to have friendships lasting for decades? How many of us have that bond with our schoolmates or college mates?

 

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is a cult movie that initially felt like a simple movie of three friends going on a road trip but then, the complexity of the characters, the issues of the individuals playing the three main leads somehow could relate to the real-life problems. Anyone could relate to what the three individuals were going through in their life. It is not about going distant from a friend due to misunderstanding or failing in a matrimonial relation misinterpretation of events. It is much more than all of that.

 

Every individual has some kind of phobia or history, that sometimes no one shares. But when friends like Arjun, Imran, and Kabir meet, skeletons tumble out of the closet. 

 

The movie is also above conquering our fears and overcoming our shortcomings by facing them. I just loved that movie and watch it again and again and again. I loved the manner the three male leads, Hrithik Roshan Bobby Deol and Farhan Akhtar have played their characters with their natural acting. It is a film which one requires to reduce your stress. It is a lighthearted, refreshing movie which you can watch alone or maybe with your group of friends and which will make you smile throughout and make you forget your worries and be happy. 

 

And that’s a wrap for this month-long blog challenge. I would like to offer my gratitude to all who have read and commented on my posts, be assured will do the same for you in the coming months.

G for Guzaarish

          I watched Guzaarish (2010) firstly for one of my favorite actors Hrithik Roshan and secondly for the theme of the film; ‘Euthanasia or mercy killing’ as it is known.

         

Being a mother to special needs child, I know the difficulties faced in taking care of her single-handedly. But is euthanasia a solution to our problems? Well, it depends on the family and the patient’s condition. But is it ethical? 

 

When we see our loved one in pain, our heart bleeds but is this solution to put an end to our sufferings? Some may say yes while some may say it’s unethical. Some may say who are we to decide? It is God’s wish (read blessing as some people like to say). But is it a blessing for a mother to see her child suffering, not to mention the trauma and pain she is going through or vice versa, for a spouse to see his/her better half in a condition from where there is no return or hope?

 

Coming back to the movie, what I loved is the sizzling chemistry of Hrithik and Aishwarya, the songs, and the picturization among many others. Though the film had big actors and a director like Sanjay Leela Bansali it was not a big hit due to the topic on which it is made. But it does give you a peek into the life and mind of a quadriplegic, their challenges, the helplessness in their eyes (sometimes) which they face daily even to do a normal chore, a privilege which we normal people take for granted.

 

Do let me know what are your thoughts on this topic.
