Movie Overview:

“Seize the day”, is the whole and soul of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. I was actually quite low on expectations with this movie. But this movie has turned out to be a vagabond of friendship, love, adventure, emotions and above all, LIFE.

I always believed that Farhan Akhtar is a good showman. Right from Rock On!!, Luck By Chance and the duh Kartik Calling Kartik. But this movie has proved it that he has all the elements that are needed in an actor. He can dance, can cry (can sing of course) and now, he can make you laugh. Abhay – Farhan – Hrithik are the three mesquiteers.

Zoya Akhtar is one more reason to watch this movie. The way she directed Luck By Chance was not all serendipitous, and she has proved it. ZNMD is all her baby. The male bonding penned and filmed by her is pleasant.

The Spanish locations are exotic. Dialogues (By Farhan Akhtar) are real and spontaneous. Movie runs with its own good slow pace, which is very much needed for the road movies.

Many scenes halt the heart and literally put you on an adventure mode.

Movie would have been a way better if songs were good. Editing needed a bit more stitch. I have no complaints regarding the length of the movie, as I can watch this Spanish odyssey for more than two hours with a tub of pop corn and a coke.

Overall, this road movie is a trip to remember.

Quick Review:

Cast:
Just perfect. Hrithik - Abhay - Farhan reminds you of Akshaye - Saif - Amir of Dil Chahta Hai (Nothing apart from these is similar in these two movies.) Kalki, as usual fits into her role. Katrina is good. Adriana Cabrol is noteworthy.

Story And Screenplay:
An ordinary story shot in an extra ordinary way. The usual story seems interesting as it is transfused in the form of a Road Movie. Reema Kagti has done a good job. Screenplay is good. Dialogues are very good.

Editing And Cinematography:
Editing is okay. Cinematography is exotic, stylish and vivacious. Scenes of under water diving, bull fights, tomatino festival, air diving all are very well shot.

Music And Background Score:
Music is strictly okay.Senorita is good. Khwabon Kay Parinday is soulful. Background score is apt, could have been better.

Direction:
I am a fan of Zoya Akhtar now, thats all.

Overall, A perfect movie to be on your DVD Collection!
