'Zindagi Na Milegi Doobara', A film that stays true to its name, robbed our hearts 9 years ago and is still not ready to give it back. Directed by Zoya Akhtar, this movie is so loved and so popular because of the message it conveys to the soul of its audience. No, nothing out of the box, a cliche message of "Live in the present" is beautifully conveyed in an applaudable manner to make our hearts feel for life.
Three friends, Arjun, Kabir and Imran played flawlessly by Abhay Deol, Hrithik Roshan and Farhan Akhtar, having common as well as not so common back stories, go on a trip to Spain and return with life exploding in every vein of their body. They meet Laila, played by Katrina Kaif, who is portrayed as a life sprinkling character in the entire movie, and end up being an inseparable part of her. The individual stories of each character, too play a crucial role in making this film what it is today.
This movie is evergreen and not a one time watch. As it speaks about the only purpose we have, to live, it teaches us to seize every moment and free ourselves from the clutches of future.
It tells us we must take out time to live because the unpredictability of having a tomorrow, it tries to pull us out of our self built prisons meant to serve a future we don't know we would stand in. Another soulful part of the movie that leave us intrigued is the song of this film. With 'Khawbo ke parinde' taking us high in the sky and making us fly with the our dreams, this song truly serves the purpose of the film and leaves us awestruck.
What I feel is, the movie has chosen adventure sports and different expensive ways to make our hearts crave for life, it somewhere failed to show the immense life packed in the most little joys awaiting to be unwrapped.
My ratings for the movie 3.9/5
