A poorly tailored trailer does not begin to describe what is one couple's journey from the ordinary Jodi to extraordinary Jodi.
It's a Simple life story of a ordinary couple which goes from many ups and downs and finally typical Indian ending. What else one can need ?? My first impressions were, 'WOW, this Shahrukh guy has a tremendous screen presence (but, yikes, what a profile!)' and 'I love the old guy with the black hair' but still the potential of the character is very real with a touch of grass root and it's totally judged by king Khan. This is ShahRukh's best performance after "SWADES". "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" is a common man real life drama made into a modish glamorous movie. The film has a knowable love story made to look like an extraordinary film by Aditya Chopra as it comes with intense emotions, songs, dances, drama and succeeds in touching hearts of audiences. You enjoy, cry and have fun watching the film. Performance of Shahrukh is at its best and Anushka is made to match him.
Aditya Chopra writes and directs ably proving that his first movie "DDLJ" was no fluke . In fact "MOHABBATEIN" carries the same theme of love way ahead of "DDLJ" but in case of "RNBDJ" it's really disappointing. The dialogues are average but yes Shahrukh is surely over the top... but isn't that the reason why he is where he is today. no character has to justify their actions but for the fact that they are driven by their emotions... which is pretty common among common human beings..
The problem I have is with what exactly message the movie wants to spread? I feel that the movie is trying to say, love first other things later. Other things including personal relationships, office work and careers.
But to be honest, I didn't like this movie much, and after seeing about 100 Hindi films since then, I still don't like it much. It has some great songs that are almost completely destroyed by the ancient and I still can't sit through the endless love stories of the couple.
You don't have action thrills suspense but those going for Shahrukh Khan's film, can watch the movie. Since the film is coming with high expectations many won't find it up to their thoughts.
Overall, the story and the execution is a let down. The performances are decent and the movie sure has some light moments that would make you smile and laugh. The film fits all generations, families and ages and it can be expected to be a hit film. At the all important box-office, the opening has been surprisingly not upto expectations for such a huge film. It should pick up over the weekend. Going past the Week 1 figures of either Singh Is King or Om Shanti Om seems highly unlikely.

With Aditya Chopra Directing this Sharukh Khan starrer I obviously had huge expectations from this movie the first time its promo was aired...
The Music was marvelous. Great work by Salim-Sulaiman that made me more eager to watch the film. I remember that while I was lining up for the tickets, a friend of mine who was coming out after watching the movie said that it was absolutely pathetic. According to him, the entire movie was stupid because it was about a wife not recognizing his husband without a mustache & having a flick with him thinking it was some one else.....
his review did make sense & i was a bit demoralized coz I had just purchased the tickets. But when I did watch the movie, I realized ho beautiful it actually was...
The movie was not about a stupid wife not recognizing his husband without a mustache. In fact, though they were husband & wife the reason she could never figure out the difference between Raj & Suri was that she was never that close to Suri in the first place.
The message that the movie tries to convey that "If one has to love me then it's got to be the real me & not the person that I can pretend to be"
Sharukh's best work after Chak De India!!!!
God Bless the Makers of this Film!!!!!

Rab ne is an absolutely entertaining film. Have no doubts about that...
But before I go on to review the film, I would like to say a thing or two about the so called professional reviewers of our online media. Each genre and each storyline will have a different yardstick depending on what the film is setting out to achieve. Don't go looking for logic and 'intelligence' in a film when its primary motive is to make people laugh and have a good time.
And I will host a grand party the day rediff ditches Mr.raja sen.
That aside, Rab ne is a film which will make you feel good and happy and Shahrukh absolutely deserves credit for this. His performance as Mr.Surinder is an absolute delight to watch and the mannerisms will leave you in splits of laughter. And then, the performance as Raj is the icing on the cake.I wont say anything more about this as it will spoil the experience for you.
Shahrukh Khan, take a bow.This is amongst your best performances to date.
The new face of the film, Anushka deserves special mention for the way she acted and carried off the role of Taani. There is innocence,charm,a certain vulnerability and tenderness in the character but at the same time she can be quite a force to reckon with if provoked. And Anushka lived in the role. For a debutant, its amazing.
Vinay pathak as usual was his excellent self as the best friend of Shahrukh and their moments on screen are truly rib tickling.
'Haule Haule' song is very good and so is the background score. It adds weight to the film and to the comedy. All the other songs are pretty decent.
The way the city of Amritsar was shown is also very nice and the rich production values of yashraj films is clearly visible in each and every frame.
And finally, for the director. Welcome back Mr. Aditya. We missed you and we hope that you make movies a little more often than you do.
Maybe, the ending could have been handled slightly better but then its not a major gripe. Some parts of the story may defy conventional logic like the way Shahrukh manages to juggle his different 'careers'. But as I said earlier,these kinds of films are not about logic or intelligence.They are about making you laugh and have a good time and in that Rab ne is eminently successful.
All in all, Rab ne is a very feel good film that you can go out and watch with your whole family. 100% Paisa Vasool film

I was having a bad day when I was watching this movie, and I am glad that I saw this movie.
OK, the story is outdated.I mean at this era of live-in relationships and people hating the idea of marriage, this movie is about a married middle class couple. And many people do criticize the part where Shahrukh acts like two different personalities and his own wife doesn't recognize him while only his spectacles and mustache are missing and anyone can easily figure out that both are one and the same. ( When I first read the plot overview of the movie, I seriously laughed)
Well the most obvious explanation would be that Indian audience ( not all,but most of them) would not like idea of an Indian wife having an extra-marital affair especially when the movie is set in a place which is trademark of Indian culture. I do accept that Yash Raj have produced many movies like Salaam Namaste ( portraying live-in relationship) but that story wasn't set in India. It is OK to not respect your culture if you are not in India. :p
So Adi made his wife love the same person with a different personality which people will easily accept (though now we people are having difficulty in accepting it) Next negative of the movie would be its length and slow pace of the movie. But i really was glad that the movie lasted for long. :)
The movie is too predictable but actually that adds as the positive point for the movie, as somewhere in your mind you want that to happen and when it happens, you are glad that it happened. The movie has many outdated and clichéd dialogues which remind you of the Bollywood movies of the 80s, but Shahrukh's dialogue delivery just makes it seem alright ! :)
Well now the acting department. Shahrukh Khan did it again. well, I personally had this feeling that SRK normally overacts in movies directed by the chopras and johars. But this is an exception. He really did it well especially in the role of Surinder Sahni. He made everyone smile, laugh and cry. He really makes you feel for his character.
Anushka Sharma did an appreciable job doing all the justice to her role. And do watch out for Vinay Pathak!! His presence does really rock the screen.
The dialogues are smart and funny though it gets every clichéd at many parts. The music is average but the background score does deserve an appreciation.
I really guarantee you that it is a kind of movie where you will be smiling while tears roll down your cheeks!
I was really happy to see all the people in the cinema sit though the end-credits ( which is really a special part of the movie)
Its outdated typical bollywood movie, and I really hated the plot of the movie initially but now that i have watched it, I cant help but say, that is one of the sweet romantic movies Bollywood has ever delivered to us.
Its of course not an extraordinary movie, but the director has really turned a very ordinary story into a very sweet romantic movie full of heart, which is definitely worth a second watch ! :)

This storyline is nice, so is the idea. But there are some ignorable flaws in the direction like when Shahrukh brings his bride home and lifts the suitcase, one can easily tell that it is an empty one. But then again they have paid so much attention to details, like the usage of 'yellow' color in every possible way. The chemistry between the lead pair is good nothing over the top. Shahrukh's character is extremely sweet and lovable.
My suggestions: 1. Watch this movie when you are feeling hopelessly romantic. 2. Don't watch it keeping DDLJ in mind, DDLJ is beyond comparison.
