RNBDJ had enough hype aroused. Touted as the next biggie from Yash Raj Films camp, directed by Aditya Chopra (who makes a comeback after Mohabbatein) and presenting Shahrukh Khan along with their latest discovery Anushka Sharma.
The 'Chance Pe Dance' song fails miserably in trying to accomplish the feat of having beats, so irresistible that almost anyone is pulled to the dance floor. The item number 'Hum Hai Rahi Pyaar Ke' doesn't sound like an item number or interesting or ...anything. Salim Sulaiman need to take a cue from Vishal Shekhar's Deewangi from Om Shanti Om. Overall, the music is dull and boring. Read rediff's review of the movie's music here.
Besides, the production house left no stone unturned in their effort to get publicity. Have a dekko at the number of competitions that they launched pertaining to RNBDJ.
The movie managed to collect so much cash in it's first 10 days to be declared the biggest hit of 2008 so far. Read more here.
And after watching the movie, I would say that I tend to agree more with Raja Sen (for a change) than I do with Suparn Verma.
Story: Circumstances force Taani (Anushka Sharma) to marry Surinder Sani (Shahrukh Khan). Taani's fiance dies in a bus accident just before marriage. Taani's father dies of heart attack before requesting his favorite student Surinder to marry Taani. Taani doesn't love Surinder and makes it clear to him at the onset of their newly married life.
However, Surinder is head over heels in love with Taani and is hell bent on impressing her. Bobby (Vinay Pathak) succors Surinder in this and transforms Surinder into Raj. (It had to be Raj - after all, it's an Aditya Chopra movie, remember DDLJ, Mohabbatein.)
Another series of instances and Taani is left in a position to choose between Surinder and Raj. In a weak moment, she confesses her attraction towards Raj. However, all ends well.
The biggest ask from the movie is that of a tighter screenplay. Vinay Pathak marvels and actually steals limelight in quite a few scenes. Anushka is good, specially considering that she is a newcomer. No complaints in the cinematography department. Music plays a pivotal role in how well a choreographer can do. That can explain not a impression carving dance from Shiamak Davar and Vaibhavi Merchant.
One thing I would surely like to add is that the RNBDJ sumo scene is totally copied from Mr. & Mrs. Khiladi's sumo scene.
Last but not the least, the item number featured Kajol, Bipasha Basu, Lara Dutta, Preity Zinta and Rani Mukerji trying to imitate Nargis, Sadhana, Helen, Mumtaz and Neetu Singh. Bipasha and Preity couldn't do much justice, whereas Kajol, Lara and Rani did a job par excellence.
think M Rating: 2.5/5.0
