Love Aaj Kal – The Movie Review
Geniuses dont do different things…they just do things differently!
Imtiaz Ali, in that manner, will classify as a genius. A story that has been beaten to death in Indian Cinema…and yet this dude decides to pick it up…and handle in possibly the most simplistic and elegant manner. Juxtapose it against what we always hear from our parents – humaare zamaane mein aisa hota tha…!
Then – Boy sees girl…decides to marry her. This birth…and all others that shall follow. He wins her heart…fights the word…and eventually makes her his! This is when he has never they have never exchanged words…when they have not spent time together. Its all driven by the concept of love!
Now – Boy and girl meet…move in together…sleep around…have an awesome life…booze…parties…work…the works! And then the fear of a long distance relationship looms large on them. So they simply decide to break up! This is when they have spent 2 years together…are possibly best friends with the other person…and love each other a lot! Its all driven by the concept of practicality!
Imitiaz proposes that while the foundation of Now & Then are different…whats identical is how love remains the same through the ages. And he couldnt he more correct!
Jai (Saif) and Meera (Deepika) are a happy couple…and (like all other modern couples) are practical. So, while they have had an awesome 2 years together, they decide to call off their relationship when Meera decides to move back to India (from London). The sequence when Saif suggests that they should is one of the moments that make the movie memorable!
They continue to be in touch…continue to share their lives…their inhibitions…and underneath their fears of finding someone else soon. They eventually do…
All this while Veer Singh (Rishi Kapoor in a fantastic performance again), a friend of Jai, narrates a parallel story of Harleen Kaur (who is this stunning girl!) and his. Which ofcourse Jai finds straight out of mythology! He cant believe the shit young Veer (played by Saif in a surdy role!) went through to be with Harleen…!
Saif realizes his love for Meera…goes down to India to meet Meera…and on the day of her wedding (to Rahul Khanna who is kind of wasted in the movie) proposes to her in possibly the best manner ever seen in Indian cinema! But too late. Meera marries…
What follows…is a beautiful rendition of love…in Imtiaz’s language. The scene towards the end when Meera breaks down as she is approached by Jai after a long wait…is emotions at its best. One can easily identify with the character and the sense of relief she experiences.
The best moment for me during the movie is the transformation of Jai within just one song…! A story that others will make an entire movie on…Imtiaz handles it in 5 minutes with absolute perfection! Brilliant.
I think the risk of playing Saif as young Jai plays off well…even though it might leave some pop corn crunching audiences confused…so focus on the movie.
The music grows on you…! Pritam (atleast as of this morning, though am sure that 102.6 FM will soon figure out) has not been inspired by anyone…and the songs are rather nice. Dooriyaan is the best!
and hey…I think Deepika can act. I think…maybe…just maybe…i am beginning to like her! And saif…while he has streaks of Hum Tum…is adorable and simply the best for this role…(though i am always left with the feeling that Aamir will do more justice…in almost any movie i watch..except for the ones in which SRK plays the lead actress..err…actor!)
Love Aaj Kal is a must watch…! Go today…

EDIT: This has got to be the biggest surprise of the movie!!
4-year-old singer on America’s Got Talent
Whats with these talent shows that gets me to write about them all the while. I guess out of all the facebook links i have shared, 60% of them were for the Bing Photo contest (where i posted a Taj Mahal photo in the contest which had summer as the theme…!!! hahha…imagine…they asking me…so tell us Mr. warikoo…where the f*** so you see the connection….ummmm…ummm…it was summer when i clicked it!)
and the rest would be these videos of Paul Pots, Susan Boyle and Anu Malik…(ok…not the last one…but the video is worth it)
check this GEM…yet again…
there are some things that the brain cannot handle
HOW SMART IS YOUR RIGHT FOOT?
This takes 2 seconds. I could not believe this! It is from a Physiotherapist… This will boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but you can’t. It’s pre-programmed in your brain!
1. Without anyone watching you (they will think you are GOOFY!!) and while sitting at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number ‘6’ in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction. And there’s nothing you can do about it!

why do men like breasts and why do women work…
Amit Varma pointed me to this great piece of analysis, in his blog entry. Well…he didnt point ME to it…but it just sounded cool…as if we are like chuddi buddies…(but hey…he does listen to me!)
so…inspired by the analysis, i thought of doing so at my own level. The results are fascinating..to say the least
Communications in the consulting world…follows what we call the Pyramis Principle. You start with the conclusion (your company is f***ked)…and then proceed with why you say so. So..here are the conclusions
1. Women truly think that men are horny, deceitful bastards (which…might be true!)…who can only think of sex, multiple partners and the next episode of baywatch (or now…big boss uncensored)
2. Men are just pissed off with the fact that women are mean, all they know is to cry, be crazy…and why the hell do they always have a headache…!
and here is the dope (am just using the number of google results as an indication…)
1. Why do men like breasts
Honestly…its a question am sure a lot of men have also asked…and after 5 seconds of thinking on the same reacted to themselves…wtf am i doing thinking about this…(ofcourse…i am assuming that most of these pages are targetted at women…again most of them gullible and potential buyers of breast enhancement techniques!)
2. Why do women work
this honestly seems to be a wtf…!! why in this world would someone be interested in this question anymore…so as to have 207 million results! i mean…balaji telefilms might have some 200 employees who potentially ask this questions everyday…cause thats what motivates them to portray their women in the way they do…! but 207 million results! wow!
3. Why does my husband look at other women
well…well…well…i will believe that this is a rhetoric…
4. Why does my wife not like me
hahaha…now we know where the previous question comes from…friggin men dont think their wife likes them…we poor souls are just hunting for potential other wives…who again will not like them…! wonderful…this means that we have to revise the business plan for secondshaadi.com…its much bigger dude…!
5. What are men thinking
i know the answer to this…i really do…! and its NOTHING…! most of the time…we men…are thinking…nothing..! we are just…walkin…hangin out…blank…staring at women…but still nothing…there are no thoughts…! i know its hard for women and einstein to accept this…but so be it…! we are also…not thinking…of what women are thinking…about what we are thinking…! we dont care…!
6. What are women good for
now…this is just so typical of us…and frankly its a mean question…! cmon dudes…i know they behave the way they do…and once they starts crying there is very little that men and shahrukh khan can do…but cmon…they deserve a lot more than 737 million results for such a question…!
7. Why are men better than women
now…its a fair assumption that its not women who are searching for this…! which makes this quite laughable…and narcissistic! why would a sane guy type search for “why are men better than women”…! and then to have 251 million results for the same!! its like aamir khan searching for “why is aamir khan the best” (which might have made sense had he actually suffered from the ghajini effect!)…or worst still…ankur warikoo searching for “ankur warikoo”…(which i admit i do…and hey…we ALL have done at some point of time…! incase you havent…do it…its friggin awesome..! unless ofcourse you are rohan chopra…an ex-colleague of mine…who figured that a porn story had the same name as the protagonist!)
8. Why are women better than men
Hah…! so women are guilty of the same crime..! but hey…before you really jump to that conclusion…the fact that there are only (only!) 65 million results for this…compared to 251 on the other side…it might imply that a lesser share of women are actually searching for this…! maybe they dont need the answer…they just know it..!
9. Why is my husband so mean and why is my wife so mean
both feel the same…cant really blame anyone…!
10. Am i in love
all said and done…the mean women and the bastard men…and the both politicians…”am i in love” generates an astounding 1 billion results…! thats an entire india finding an independent result for this query…! love finally conquers…!
google finally rests its case!!!
PS: the above are only the number of results that google furnishes. what will be even more interesting to actually see if people are searching for these…! basically…we have covered the supply side…but hey…the demand still remains..!
even more interesting…will be the actual content of the top results of the above…! i just went to the first link on “why men like breasts”…and didnt need to move ahead
life = risk
if you have never failed…you have never lived…!
couldnt agree more!
google also needs to advertise – for google.com
who would have thought…but this is true
this is an ad, from google…in a Nagpur Daily!
just goes to show how much MNCs have to change themselves…when they move to markets so very different from their own parent markets! reminds me of how India was the first country where McDonald’s started home delivery, and started a pure vegetarian outlet!
most individuals killed in a terrorist attack – Want to break that record?
by now all Indians are aware of the Guiness World Records. One, by virtue of the fantastic doordarshan programs that used to air in old times…when america still had white presidents…! two, because baba ramdev is the only living individual one earth to have found a cure for homosexuality…because of which he is oh so fit to be part of the esteemed records list…!
and as everyone knows….everything…and i mean…friggin EVERYTHING that has ever happened on this earth, including the first divorce ever (between Adam and Eve…what…you didnt know…screw you!!)…is part of the records list…
and so is 9/11…infamously though…for “Most Individuals Killed in a Terrorist Attack”…
well…and as every friggin records can be broken…and cmon…it should be…else whats the use of Mayawati increasing the spend on her statues each year…
…the guiness guys are inviting applications to break this record…
In short (basically, I am summarizing from all the crap i have written) – Guiness World Records wants people to attempt and break the record of “Most Individuals Killed In A Terrorist Attack”
