Ya I know ,u wrote..<BR/><BR/>I want to tell u why I did't like it... it's not about Suri.. it's Raaj...<BR/><BR/>I like SRK as millions out there .... well that is of course as he has<BR/>something, some charm in his personality may be ... but about Rab<BR/>ne... it isn't about him... it's about the movie... the girl to top<BR/>all... agreed people do stupid things in love... but the girl wasn't<BR/>in love .. and Suri disguised as Raj.. didn't do any.... why would the<BR/>girl fall in love with such a repulsive character in the first place,<BR/>and agree to ELOPE with him...? the girl also showed her disgust in<BR/>the beginning, but once the lights of the city go off and on<BR/>.....whooo!! she is in love.... Am also not considering the fact that<BR/>very conveniently Suri's friend recognises him in Raj's get up and the<BR/>girl doesn't.. forget it.. See... I had a very dear friend who was a<BR/>wacko, doing all weird thing... to the extent of wearing red jeans...<BR/>and yellow t shirt ... Kolkata is not Mumbai and in 90s things looked<BR/>ridiculous... still his friends,us...we loved his wackiness ...but we<BR/>knew him so well... but there was no build up to love Raj..for the<BR/>audience Raaj was Suri.. so it didn't matter.. but I was watching<BR/>through Taani's eyes... for me Suri and Raaj were different people...<BR/>I couldn't like Raaj... for me Suri was considerate... well<BR/>mannered... boring may be but responsible.. and took care of Taani<BR/>well..She just asked for money once for her dance class and he gave<BR/>her immediately. What did Raaj do..? switch off on?................<BR/>well whatever...<BR/><BR/>Didn't like SRK's pout as well...<BR/><BR/>this is some never ending topic... <BR/>I want to watch Memento.. still haven't seen ghajani.....<BR/><BR/>And I wrote back:<BR/><BR/>Yes, I know what you say is right. Sometimes you just like films, because you are in the right mood for them. And you are not analyzing. I agree, that Raj is totally idiotic, and one can see no reason to engage with him. In fact, he is utterly forgettable. But he is Suri's idea of what Taani may like. And for a brief moment, maybe Taani gets carried away. Like any of us may do. Get excited with the thought of a man she chooses, and not one who circumstances have forced her into marrying. It's just that thought, until you realize that no, it cannot be enough. And she realizes that too.<BR/><BR/>Also, didn't you love Taani's Dhoom fight on the motorbike? I also liked the fact that Taani's character was given no justification, Suri didn't expect her to feel repentant about the fact that she fell in love with someone else, etc.<BR/><BR/>Yes, that SRK pursing his lips was a bit too much. Yet, I know people who do make facial gestures like that, specially as they grow older.<BR/><BR/>Are you seriously going to go and watch 'Ghajini'?Bannohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03855784743978203037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10318523.post-18993324934658647492009-01-16T13:01:00.000+05:302009-01-16T13:01:00.000+05:30Shankari, Thanks.

I liked the idealism of the film, cal lme a sucker, it had the same qualities as DDLJ in that sense..not until your father says yes..no matter what. I did get a tad irritated with Bobby at some points but took it all for my fave SRK..I love him. He's just a good man, the way he treats everyone with such humility and love is a very endearing quality..good soul.
