Also, the repetitive scenes just don't add to the momentum of the love story that expends itself in the first few frames. It's these two major absurdities - the moustache-as-disguise and the miraculous divine revelation at the end - that turn this film into a drama that's completely out-of-sync with contemporary Bollywood. Sahni is married, no? And she needs to live happily ever after with Mr Sahni, no? So, she prays to God and God settles her quandary. Mrs Sahni does point an admonishing finger at him each time he tries to cheaply flirt with her, but soon, she's hopelessly in love with him after he lights up the city with his love missive. So, we see her mild-mannered, hopelessly in love husband repeatedly entering his best buddy's (Vinay Pathak) saloon, shedding his greasy look, his horn-rimmed glasses and donning the roadside romeo avtar of Raj, the Jat. Hey, is that really possible? Try putting a moustache on the person you live with and see if you don't recognise him!īut Mrs Sahni fails to realise the man she shares her silent dinners with, after marrying him because dad dies, and the man who she jives with on the dance floor is one and the same. A journey that makes us believe that there is an extraordinary love story in every ordinary jodi.Also, it seems odd that the romance which begins on a promising note, peters off into a long drawn story that limits itself to primarily two scenes: the stark dining room of the newly married Mr and Mrs Sahni (Shah Rukh and Anoushka) and the dance school, where a bored Mrs Sahni falls in love with the husband she doesn't recognise, only because he doesn't sport a moustache, wears gaudy tees, flashy glares and gelled hair. What follows is a journey filled with laughter, tears, joy, pain, music, dance and a lot of love.

This is what happened to Surinder Sahni (Shah Rukh Khan) - a simple, clean hearted, honest man working for Punjab Power, leading a humdrum life, when he meets his total opposite and finds love in the flamboyant, fun-loving, vivacious - Taani (Anushka Sharma) for whom the whole world is her canvas and she paints her own life with the colours of rainbow all until unforeseen circumstances changes it all and brings them together. It can happen to anyone and once it does it engulfs us into it completely and gives us those miraculous experiences that only love can yield.

Maybe not! How can an ordinary man have a breathtaking, goose flesh igniting, awe inspiring love story of all things to tell?īut guess what - love does not differentiate between the ordinary and exceptional, the uninteresting and interesting, the unattractive and attractive. Have you ever stopped to think if the most ordinary, uninteresting, unobtrusive man you might see on the road or around you might have a love story to tell?
