I wonder what prompted Yash Raj Films to release ‘Rab Ne...’ in December. This one is a core Diwali film. If they would have released it in the festive season, the hype and response to this would have been unprecedented. It is a very good film, if not excellent. Also, it is way ahead of the likes of ‘Golmaal Returns’ or for that matter even Fashion. As a movie buff, I watched both the films then but I know that if only ‘Rab Ne...’ would have released then, I would seen this one first. I have freaked out earlier on ‘DDLJ’ and though I wasn't too fond of ‘Mohabbatein’, this one is leagues ahead.

Puhleeze, stop giving me 'gyaan' about this 'ordinary' v/s 'extraordinary' sh%^ that is being thrust by the film's PR machinery. At the end of the day, it is yet another regular feel good entertainer. I didn't quite feast on the entire concept of the film. I mean at the end of the day, all this entire make over thing and all is truly filmy. Real life mein aisa kuch possible nahi hota! And this is where the basic pretext of the film, i.e. it being about a common man, goes for a toss. I saw it a time pass flick with no expectations and on those grounds, I was okay about the entire affair.

After all the terror attack depression, I had to watch something on the big screen. I am a movie buff and was waiting to catch ‘Rab Ne...’. Last few weeks have been particularly bad since there wasn't anything good to watch at multiplexes. ‘Rab Ne....’ has been quite an entertaining watch and the experience was enhanced since I went out with a bunch of 9 odd colleagues. There were a couple of them who aren't really the film buffs but we coaxed them into watching the film. Overall we had a great experience since there were number of 'taali-maar' moments, the kind that kept us all making most of the noise in the auditorium.
