RAB NE BANA DI JODI

The movie title is picked up from an old Amitabh-Shashistarrer called ‘Suhaag’ which had the song ‘Teri Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’,so this is the second movie-title picked from a Shashi Kapoor movie;earlier one being DDLJ. Anyways, that’s not what the post is about.Previously, it was suspected that the movie is on the lines of My FairLady.But neither the promo nor the dual role of SRK suggests that.Moreover, the plot of a ahi-fi society girl and/or impersonating has been done to death inmovies like Raja Jani, Khel, MKTA etcAnyways, I just got this mail that gives out a brief storyline of them.
ovieLet me first give abird’s eye view of the story.So, SRK a simpleton is married off to a much younger woman. He has asmall time job and lives an ordinary life, but his nubile wife wantssome action in her life, some enthusiasm and a break from this normalroutine. Here in comes the dance portion. There is a dance contesttitled ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ being aired [Nach Baliye types] and hiswife wants to take part in it. SRK overhears this smallaspiration/wish of hers and realises that he has kind of tied down herlife and feels he should try and fulfil her wishes. Yeah, enter SRKgenX with hairs all gelled and tight t-shirt.
How he enters the sceneand the contest with her is to be watched out. He pairs-up with herand probably goes on to win the contest. Even if they don’t win thecontest, he definitely wins her over in the last reel of the moviewhen she realises that he is her good-old-hubby.This premise sounds pretty good and we can fairly fit in ShaimakDavar’s association, dance theme, SRK dual role and of course Big B’sguest appearance as one of the judges. But if we can recall, thistheme was a side-track in the movie ‘Aaja Nachle’, where Vinay Pathakredeems himself through the theatre/dance sequence and his wife findsnew respect and love for him.Anyways, I just hope there is more to the movie than this. But havingseen Adi’s movies, all of which have wafer thin plots, this is

Ghajini

Story Of Ghajini
StorySanjay Ramasamy (aamir khan), a rich industrialist was in love with a model cum activist Kalpana (Asin Thottumkal). Kalpana accidentally came to know of a gang of child kidnappers during her activist work. To silence her permanently, Lakshman (Mohit ahlawat) “deletes her”, i.e. she is killed in the presence of Sanjay, and Sanjay is hit on his hHe clearly remembers what happened prior to his being hit on the head. But subsequent events remain in his memory for 15 minutes only. Sanjay becomes a patient of memory loss; still,

He wants to seek revenge for the death of Kalpana. He tries remembering things by tattooing all over his body and by taking instant photos. He appears really ferocious and scary. Sanjay makes several attempts to take revenge on the murderers even after his continuous failures.He makes repeated attempts to kill the villain just like Ghajini’s repeated attempts, hence the name of the movie. One would have heard of persons losing senses totally or partially, but it is really rare to hear about a person losing his senses every fifteen minutes which is clearly and beautifully presented in this movie. His story comes to light when a police officer (Riaz Khan) reads his diary. Dr. Chitra(Jiah Khan) , who is a medical student, is interested in doing a case study on Sanjay.
