Adi Ne Bana Di Jodi...!!!

Since the day I saw trailers being aired, I started counting days. Fever simply grew and my anticipation was running wild. We were expecting an opulent saga drawn in love. Eight years gap added on to our conviction. I behaved with audacity in putting up a blog dedicated especially to Mr. Adi’s earlier flicks.
Music was good. I liked it. But sadly, from the start itself, I just liked it. It wasn’t the stuff I expected lacking that versatility and soul. I didn’t have any options rather than being optimistic about the whole thing and hence I just gave the feeling a passé holding on to hope that it has got to be the movie which will be the real trick. What with the music? But what a disappointment it was. It was real looser. I liked the way it started and everything I saw; I felt it certainly will stand up to my expectations. It was moving fast, scenes had that extra magic specially added, and I felt that I was in for something quite different. Another thirty minutes and the real drama started. They expected me to believe that a man with trimmed hairs and moustache can pass on that easily as a separate existence itself. They expected me to believe that a girl, all set to marry her love, doesn’t even care to think of him once after his death. They expected me to forget that here is a lady who has just suffered a loss which sums up her father too. They expected me to believe that god certainly exits in a form in that someone special and that can happen like the way it happened out there…..close your eyes, pray to god and ask him to show you the same…and ooppss!!!….just open up and see that someone in front. They expected me to believe that love happened for the leading lady without a hint for us as to how it happened and that to an extent that she agrees to flee. They expected me to believe that the other SRK was real cool(he seemed more pathetic and boring than Suri itself…with all those put ons…hope the spiky look could have all been that is needed…….at least I felt so). I must say that my expectations from the movie were killed due to so many expectations that the movie maker had from the viewers.
Critics said that the movie was contrived. I go by the same. It doesn’t look like an honest effort at all except for the start. The lead actors were awesome in their acts but still, the poor scripting and the second supposed to be cool spiky SRK……ah….I just can’t express what I went through whenever I used to hear “Taani partner”…..on screen. It was an experience which will certainly be hard to forget. Might be true that some of the greatest of movies you love were never made, they just happened. Just that they happened twice with Mr. Adi and I mistook it for something called talent. I just pray….that if ever again Adi comes up with another release……..may god give me the power too, to withstand the movie all through coz the way he have started putting things on screen, he has become a real killer of time, expectations and presentation.
