Verdict: Great!
"K" Rating: 3.4
Watch: Theater
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (Zindagi...)is Fresh, Fun, Full of witty one-liners, has relate-able characters and situations which add to the "realism" of the film.Zoya Akhtar and Reema Katgi have breathed a fresh air to the age old "sseize the moment" philosophy via this movie.
It tells the story of three best friends on a bachelor trip across Spain, fulfilling a pact they had made long ago of each selecting an adventure sport and participating in it together. Friends on a journey of a lifetime with the stunning backdrop of Spain - find themselves and each other whilst letting go makes a rejuvenating watch. However on the downside, Zindagi.. misses out on the depth of characters as portrayed in its close relative Dil Chahta Hai. Nonetheless it has its own free spirited character, with the meandering pace of a road/travelogue movie.
Farhan Akhtar,Hrithik Roshan and Abhay Deol - all are in full form, lighting the screen with their hot bodies, wit and on screen camaraderie. Katrina Kaif adds charm to her role but has little scope to perform.Kalki Koechlin befits her rule superbly and plays it to the hilt.Naseeruddin and Deepti Naval are a welcome delight onscreen.
Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy have done it again by accentuating the film with noteworthy music. "Ik Junon" is a memorable track along with "Senorita" sung by all 3 protagonists. Farhan's poetry adds depth of thought and soul to this flick.
Business wise it will do well in multiplex screens. It caters to the educated youth of today with urban sensibilities.To truly experience and savor Zindagi... catch it while it is running in a theater near you!
