First and foremost Javed saabs shayari saves zindagi na milegi dobara from becoming another one of the "kya patha kal ho na ho" ilk and transforms it into a celebration of life!!!
Three friends on a road trip to enjoy life does sound a bit like dil chahta hain but Zoya adds her own essence and serves a completely different dish.But you do feel that Saif Akshay and Aamir were much more cheerful and dynamic compared to Hrithik farhan and abhay.Not taking anything away from them;they have done sincere and pleasing work and keeps you occupied,especially Farhan who retains a smile on your lips throughout the movie.Hrithik (no matter how many times one says this)looks stunnin.He is the only person who looks as good as the spanish panorama.Yes his acting looks artificial and lacks depth at crucial junctures but we forgive him for he has pleased our eyes like no other.Katrina has a role which suits her perfectly(meaning a role in which she has to look good and smile ,acting is not mandatory)Kalki delivers the portrayal of a possessive and capricious girl with ease. She might not be pretty but there is something agreeable in her appearance.
Its zoya who runs the movie giving each character the time and space required to grow, not getting obsessed with katrina or hrithik, ably assisted by her fathers poetry and good cinematography. But the music is a big let down, it is uninspiring and bland. Shankar ehsaan loy have lost it , its been ages since we heard a mitwa from them.
The movie urges you to swim like a fish ,fly like a bird and run like a beast.The endin leaves you with a thirst for life.Suddenly bollywood cinema is alive and kicking!!!
swim like a fish ,fly like a bird and run like a beast
