Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi :: Reviewed
THE PLOT –
The story is set in modern day Punjab (India), more specifically in Amritsar.
Surinder Sahni (Shahrukh Khan), who works for Punjab Power, gets married to Taani (Anushka Sharma) in very Bollywood-like circumstances. The simple and soft spoken Surinder is then told by Taani that she wouldn’t be able to love Surinder all her life.
Enter Raj Kapoor (Shahrukh Khan), who takes Taani out of her shell and brings fresh colors into her life.
Will Taani choose Raj’s love over Surinder’s dedication?
It’s all there for you to find out.
THE CAST –
Aditya Chopra comes back after almost eight years with this directorial venture and with a surprisingly small budget and starcast.
Shahrukh Khan, Anushka Sharma and Vinay Pathak are perhaps the only full-time characters in the plot.
As for their acts, they all come up trumps. Anushka Sharma is exceptional on debut (much better than Asin in Ghajini – as will shortly be reviewed) and Shahrukh Khan is superb in his portrayal of Surinder Sahni, a character very much like yester year’s Amol Paleker –kind-of-roles.
THE MUSIC –
Very hummable and in-sync music by Salim-Suleiman. The duo seem to have started off from where they left off in Chak De India. They do not disappoint with any of the scores and come up trumps in the overall score. Tujhme Rab Dikhta Hai and Haule Haule have already become very popular on the charts. Dance Pe Chance was pretty apt for the sequences. However, Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte was the ace of the album and full justice to the song was done while shooting the same. Almost time that folks like the much-over-hyped A.R.Rehman took a leaf out of their notebook.
THE VERDICT –
A family movie plus an entertainer with that feel-good touch. If you have loved SRK over the years, you will not be disappointed with this one. On hindsight, I did ‘review’ this one in the fullest sense – yes, saw it twice on the big screen before writing this.
THE SCORE –
8.00 / 10.00 (Revised)

I think u hav covered more or less everything in the reviews..pretty discretely written taking care of all the aspects..but I still feel ‘Rab ne’ ka rating should be more than 8.5-9
And why do u compare Asin with Anushka ? Yar both are debutantes, gimme them some time before judging them as actors..
Even I agree somewhat to having a higher rating for the movie but perhaps this is from the perspective of the unbiased critic in me.
And yes, Anushka is great but given the fact that Asin has done films already, she was a disappointment.
good one!!!
I suggest u watch movies first day first show n enlighten us with the review so that we are in better option rather than burning out pockets n of course sour taste in mouth too ;)….
and plssssssssss……Asin cant be judged right now…..dude check out her movies in south…shes’ the most sought after heroine there..well look at it this way…y wud a director cast a fresher against Amir?look at another angle..the perfectionist Amir…wud he go for a heroine no skills!
Your comments were very heartening
As for Asin, well have checked out her portfolio down south and because of the same could not digest the role she did in the movie.
Anushka though, was a completely fresh whiff of perfume .!
Nay….. This movie deserves atleast 8.5 . Well directed with awesome soundtracks. Anushka did full justice to Taani ji . I wish if I can dance like her
And you have put your thoughts in a very professional manner. Kudos to you
I am looking forward to CC2C - review.
