Revealing mistakes: Raj Kapoor (Sharukh Khan) proposes to Taani (Anushka Sharma) by means of electricity lighted in such a way that it looks like I LOVE YOU when viewed from top. But electricity supplied to the public is supplied in series, not in parallel. moreQuotes:
Surinder Sahni: I don't know what love is. Until now, I've never had good luck and have fallen in love with any of the ladies. I don't even know any ladies, forget about, falling in love with one. moreSoundtrack:

I saw Dark Knight recently, and as much as I loved it, I was saddened that it could be light years before an Indian movie could reach that standard, story telling wise. Then comes along 'Rab ne bana di jodi'. As much as I like properly made, not trying-hard-to-be-cool Hollywood movies, it rarely ever fills the part of my heart which is purely Indian. Even for perhaps my favorite movie of all time (Batman Begins+Dark Knight), I kill myself a little to truly enjoy it.
Rab ne bana di jodi follows slightly in the vein of Swades, a movie I loved but a dud at the box office, perhaps for its slow pace.
I will try to go about the review without giving away anything that might spoil this wonderful movie for you. The first half of the movie has a fair dosage of comedy, while the second has practically no entertainment(comedic or any kind of a breather) whatsoever and I'm incredibly grateful for it. The only way you can enjoy this movie is by completely immersing yourselves into the characters of Shahrukh(Suri) and Anushka(Tana). I was among the 2 of our group of 10 who liked the movie. Having discussed the movie with those who didn't like the movie, with the benefit of hindsight, I would like to give you a couple of pointers to enjoy the movie. First off, Suri is in NO WAY JUDGING Taani's character by doing what he does to make her happy, but doing it for her sake alone. Secondly, the reasons for him continuing to do what he does are exemplarily well put and explained, if you can bear with the nuances of the characters. Thirdly be patient and try not to be critical, at least in the first viewing. Finally, don't be bogged down by the moustache/hair thingy, as Suri plays it really well, with the true personality shining through, throughout. So it is not unrealistic or impractical at all. I tried to leave it as vague as possible, and if it sounds like gibberish, plz be PATIENT and give the movie the benefit of the doubt, at least while seeing it.
Every character and every relationship arc is flourishingly ended leaving you extremely satisfied.
TODAY, I wish I could type this review, and everything else in Hindi.
