Not that the basic essence of love stories fade ever from a typical bollywood movie, but RAANJHANA is still way ahead.
Anand L Rai’s Raanjhanaa makes you feel devastated at first when you finish it watching, atleast it did this to me.
It left me with several questions which didn't really get much answers.
The story's plot is woven in Banaras. The colors of festivals, the purity of Ganga and midway flowing emotions of Dhanush aka Kundan are just a grace to watch. At first, I wasnot very sure why is Dhanush in the main lead. But, he just charmed me with those straight forward still funny dialogues.
The deep love which grows with time for Sonam aka Zoya from a muslim family.
The guy grows up waiting for his beloved.
But, the story is more than a love triangle. Bindiya and murari as lover and friend are worth praise.
Dialogues have definitely won my heart. Typical UP style..the auto rickshaws scene, drive on a scooter and some great conversations between Murari and Kundan.
"Pyar na hua, UPSC ka paper ho gya. Dus saal se clear hi ni ho raha."
There's that angle in the story where you realize how a certain person becomes your centre of attention and circumscribes your life. Kundan, in the first half, gives us the glimpse of an innocent lover. Zoya's light and funny reactions to Kundan's try to woe her.
But, there have been moments when Zoya has acted as a typical bitch using Kundan to mend ways.
Later, she expresses her love for Abhay to Dhanush.
Rage--yes Rage is the feeling. Abhay, as his earlier performances leaves an impression in the small role he has been given. Hindu and Muslim relations have been seen. It is still difficult to marry a person in different religion. You will also see the change in mindset. A girl who desires a man of her intellect and not any one from the crowd.
Later, in the second half, the story sheds it's charm of colors and goes into serious mode.
You can see Dhanush trying to do every thing possible for Zoya.
You will also see how he simply solves issues which could have gone into fights.
He proves the fact that only a common man can understand the problems of a common man.
He is adorable. I specially loved the fact that he did justice with Hindi which nobody else could do in their cameo into bollywood not even Katrina like people who claim to be celebraties.
Although, the ending leaves us thinking is it what love all about- sacrificing everything you have.
Dhanush has done justice to the innocence, anger and the love.
I, although, was very sad on the ending. And, believe me - It's one of the best endings I have seen ever.
The baggage of guilty burdens a heavy heart even more.
We love Dhanush, Sonam, Abhay and every one in the movie.
If you are movie freak, you will be left with questions for you to figure out.
Thoughts which will question the basic typical lover...the selfish girl/guy. They justified that everyone of us is flawed.
So, from now on, we love with calculations. Such practicality !!
Such apt heading from The Hindu-"Between the head and Heart."
The feelings are rightly described in:
Kaisi teri khudgarzi,na dhoop chune na chanv
Kaise teri khudgarji,kisi thaur tike na panv !!
Watch it to witness various shades of love and hatred.
Loved Dhanush, Sonam, music and everything!!
