Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
Starring Farhan Akhtar, Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol, Katrina Kaif, Kalki Koechlin;
Directed by Zoya Akhtar, Farhan Akhtar's sister, penned by Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti, music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. Previously titled as 'Running with the Bulls'.
This is the first movie by Zoya Akhtar, released in 2011, and quiet good I must say.
The movie is all about rich guys, how miserable they are with all the ENORMOUS wealth they have, how unhappy they are that they have yet to fulfill their 'to-do list'. How this movie is based solely on the riches, and how normal or middle-class people should only watch this movie and only dreaming about having such a life, or even any experience.
Well about the movie, it is about 3 friends, more like 'Dil Chahta Hai', or '3 Idiots' in this league. It is not a new concept though. Besides the concept being a bit like 'The Bucket-List', the movie has a stand of its own. What makes it interesting though is they way theses old recycled concepts have been written, created, shot and directed. Acting credentials are superb, the way the movie has been photographed, the picturesque beauty, the sceneries, etc. provide an engaging experience. Another yet never before concept of friendship, being in relation, marriage, work, balancing everything, has been handled graciously by the director. Overall, even though the movie has a great line-up of credits, it rests entirely on the shoulders of Zoya Akhtar, the director.
The music is what escalates this movie to another level, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy have done an awesome job with the music here. 'Der Lagi Lekin' is a great track and my fav from this movie. The soundtracks have a fresh and new feel to them. It is quiet different from the typical music heard around and about. It's a good film to watch with your old pals basically, as anyone can connect with the limitations to enjoyment, work, relations, and compare individual experiences.
Watched this movie thrice, but not a time more. Its not something you will always go for. But you sure as hell, don't wanna miss this one.
