Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu: EMAET



"Paniyon k jaisi hain yeh muskane , behne de
 Labjon main btana hai ni zaroori, rehne de"

It has been really long since Rockstar released and none other movie caught the attention.
But, just one fine morning EMAET's promo glued the eyes to the television set. And, probably from that very time, I wanted to watch the movie.





On the other hand, the tragedy of life is that nobody was ready to watch it with me because of a trillion reasons.
And, the one reason for the same was not liking the reviews.

So, finally I watched it alone. Forgot the world for a few hours. Even forgot that I have things to complete and just quit from another tiring/terrible day at work.
Just for that last line, I hope only my dear ones follow this blog. Sometimes, I think even they don't. lol.
Anyways, for the movie- I certainly loved it and probably was not criticizing the movie for the very first time.

One fine morning, you are born in a perfectly disciplined family where in your early age you have been taught to dress perfectly, return on time from that 1hour you are given to play with your friends.
 Rahul's case was probably worse than mine. :)
Although, there are scenes where you know things are exaggerated. We are used to these vulgar jokes in Karan Johar's movies.

Geet from Jab We Met has been the most charming Bollywood character ever. I have always loved the pace, the dialogues, the sincerity with the role.Also, not to forget the silent and shy lover -Shahid Kapoor who adds the beauty in the movie.
You might not find Geet in Riana but you can actually fall for Kareena Kapoor. She's actually pretty.


For Imran- I have never felt he acts. This has began from Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na..to I hate Love Stories.,.and even in EMAET.
Probably, he speaks much fewer dialogues face to face. Probably, he likes the narration. Although, I am completely comfortable with it.But, In EMAET, he actually does justice to the role. From that Mumma's boy to a perfect friend cum lover, he is just worthy of another applause.Those few scenes- where Imran says-I still think, one fine morning everything will be understood..and you can actually find yourself relating to him.

A disciplined guy -after losing his job + Girlfriend meets this Messy Riana who is just too irritating.
But, that Sunshine Girl role completely suits Kareena. And, to be honest, Kareena actually does that to the big screen. She's loud rather very loud but you will love the witty replies she gives Imran.That one girl, who when enters everything is glowing,shining and is beautiful.
Although Auntyji was the most irritating song I ever heard. After watching it in the movie, the perception changed. I actually love the song.
Coming to the music, EMAET title track transacts you to a Party mode.
Gubbare might sound idiotic at first- but as usual-listen to the lyrics and you will eventually like it.That's actually a beautiful track.

For "Aahatein", it had been my favorite even before the movie released. The music, the lyrics and just the feel of it.

For "Kar chalna shuru.." I would just say:
There might be real life situations where you end up falling in love with your best friend without even knowing the consequence. Although most bollywood movies have followed the same theme but had a happy ending.
But, I loved the open ending. Sometimes, it's how it happens in the real world too. You don't know how to react to that one person you have believed for so long.
You don't know how to face that one person with whom you can discuss your long list of crushes, your likes and dislikes.You don't know how to bring things back to the same level where they were without changing that loud conversation you used to have, wherein you can call a friend at any time without even thinking.
Probably, if you end up falling in love with your best buddy and find that the same feelings are not reciprocated- I, particularly feel that you should be thankful to God that it was your friend as someday in the long time to come-"Your friendship will always overcome love." And if are lucky enough, you might get your lover as your friend. :D

And,for Imran- he's cute. And, looks great from complete jerk to welcoming his new life with zest.
As sung-"Aee..dil tujhe pta hai,
yeh lamhe aur kya hain"
Also, the way Kareena has dealt with such a critical situation is appreciable.

EMAET was not about - two entirely different people meeting and parting away. It was just a reminder of although how much you care for someone you love, your friendship can save the memories.  Probably, that affection would last long, maybe forever. But, sometimes,it's not about getting the person to walk along with you. Sometimes, it just walking happily on different paths-yet loving that one person you can't be with.
I am really not sure why people said it's a waste of time.
I simply loved it.
Despite the exaggeration, the loud comedy - I just loved the ending and here comes:-




"Jo hua hai woh hota  hai,
Jo  hona hai woh hona hai.
Kar chalna shuru tu,
Mud k na dekh tu,
Jaise hai sahi hai,
Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu."

Seems like you like Irfan so much that you went to see this movie all alone. That's great. However even i liked the trailer of movie very much but after hearing such bad mouth publicity of it, i rather skipped the idea. But i really liked the funda you explained in your blog. However these situations are very difficult to face and i really wish that no one may this situation in his life. In the end, for you, great review.. it was nice and enjoying reading it :)

Well,Thanks for the read. Although, I am not an Imran fan, but you can definitely call me the Jab we Met wali Kareena's fan :D
And, though bad reviews definitely make it difficult to go for a movie. And, the problem here is that Bollywood has never really appreciated open endings.
And,yes- real life situations are actually difficult when you ought to choose and probably I choose the friendship.
:)

Akki said...

Probably you choose the friendship, but its not easy (can't say on which part - of boy or of girl)
Talking on commercial aspects, ofcourse bollywood must avoid such endings, our society is not accepting that and the movie gone flop!!

Chitranshi said...

Well, I just meant I understood the ending. In real life, it will differ from person to person.And, for movies- even Bodyguard was not flop.
To be honest, even if movie makes a million , in Bollywood you really cant be sure of it.

Akki said...

Bodyguard was a hit yaar and Agneepath too. However i really didn't like ending of it. But still 2 so so close friends who had a great chemistry, must get married if everything is OK, I personally even may don't like such endings!!

Chitranshi said...

There are times when you know that even though the person is your great friend...but it may not be right to marry him/her. And, if you feel it won't work..u cant get ruining each other's life. It's not liking/disliking. It's just another fact. Not every feeling is mutual.

Akki said...

Hhmmm let's talk this way, what do you think, what could have happened if they would get married? Don't you think they will live happily always (in this movie case)?

Chitranshi said...

dear, movies are just another fiction..i assume so as I firmly believe in love stories.
But, may be you didnt get the theme still...When you will, you wont ask me that question.

Chitranshi said...

And, yes there's nothing like happily ever after...to be practical enuf :P

Akki said...

Dear i have personally lost one of my very close friend. I can feel the pain. That's y my heart is not ready to accept such endings :(

Chitranshi said...

dats what I said...sometimes we need to understand, it mite take time..and anyways..nothing lasts forever..be happy.!!
Thnx 4 the read.
