Wonderful Movie

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Say what you want about the story of the film. And yes, I know a missing moustache doesn't suddenly make a man unrecognisable. But fact is that Shah Rukh Khan so lovingly portrays Suri that you immediately become fond of this endearing, shy, compassionate, insecure, reserved, and helplessly romantic man. The way he looks at his wife when she laughes about a stupid movie or the way he carries the bright yellow thermos to work is unbeatable.Yes, Shah Rukh Khan's acting can be over the top, especially for us Europeans. But in recent years he has over and over again managed to shine playing a diverse array of characters. The way he made me fall in love with Suri has made this film absolutely worth watching.

My favorite Bollywood film thus far, with the ever charismatic and charming Shahrukh Khan playing two roles (including a beta-male)! The respective two kinds of love are heartwarming and unabashed. Yet, in a way that is uniquely Asian in its selflessness. In the end, what makes this film so meaningful to me though is its take on what true love is (God style).

Vivacious, beautiful Taani (Anushka Sharma) suffers a catastrophe on the eve of her wedding, and at her father's request, she marries his trusted student Suri (Shah Rukh Khan). Serious, nerdy Suri fell in love with her at first sight, but Taani tells him she'll never be able to love him, nor be happy and light-hearted again. Suri takes on the role of a fun-loving Raj in her dancing class, hoping to make her laugh again, and hoping to use Raj to help Taani fall in love with Suri. Things don't work as Suri had hoped, and he sees his chance of happiness with Taani become slim.In this romantic drama, Khan plays an average man as Suri, and brash and loud as Raj, neither the handsome or charming character that is his usual role. This he does surprisingly well. Sharma, in her first role, was excellent, and fully believable in her emotions. While the songs and choreography were average, the cinematography, locations, and sets were lovely. I was conflicted as to the credibility of Taani's reaction to the truth, but otherwise found this to be a sweet and enjoyable film with a beautiful message, celebrating unselfish love.

In America I am suffering. A lot of movies have lost that fun movie feeling. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is what movies used to be like in America. Fun, wonderful music, slightly absurd plot....and I loved it all.RNBDJ is full of wonderful characters, wonderful music, wonderful dance scenes...and the acting is very nice.The dual characters by SRK shows why he is one of the best actors in the world. If you are an American, this is a must watch as it has a nice 80's feel with a slight Indian twist.Give it a shot, do NOT be a snob. Ten out of Ten.
