Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna
Approx reading time: 2 minutes 40 seconds
I have just got home from the movies. I went to watch the new Karan Johar movie… Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna… and right now, the only word that I can think of to describe this movie is WOW!!!
It was amazing… Breathtaking awesome… heartwrenchingly romantic… truly serendipituous… (and the soundtrack is just wonderful)
Shah Rukh looked as gorgeous as ever, Rani more beautiful than I’ve ever seen, Preity was spunky, sexy and her usual vibrant self, Abishek was scruffy and cool and Amitabh was as brilliant as ever. I wonderful special appearance by Arjun Rampal completed this amazingly talented cast, and the results were mind-blowing… I recommend this movie to every single person. Whether you are a Bollywood fan or have seen one, this is Definitely the movie of the decade, not to be missed… (and zee, you Have got to watch it, I will personally take you if need be !!!)
The storyline is one that hasn’t been explored before, but is truthful, honest and hurtful at times, but as Bollywood is know to be, a happy ending is always in sight. There is a scene in the beginning, were Rani is about to get married, but she is unsure whether it is the right guy and she is sitting in her garden while the guests are all waiting for her, and SRK is also there, waiting for his mum who is in the wedding-house.. and they get chatting, and she asks him whether he is happily married or not.. He replies and asks her why is she questing her decision at this point and she says that she is afraid that she may not be in love with her husband to be..
He then says: (not the exact words) “you are at a crossroad, with two choices: 1) go inside, get married and be happy with your husband who has always been your friend…
(since friends make the best spouses) or 2) walk away and hope that one day you might find the elusive true-love that everyone searches for.. She then asks him: what if I meet my soul-mate after I get married and to that he replies: you only fine love if you are looking for it so if you don’t search for it, it wont find you and you can be content with the life that you create…
And I guess that is the truth. Compromise is what makes/breaks a marriage. Having gone to the movies with my sister and sister-in law and a friend, there were two of them, who are married , and then two of us that are single, and it was amazing how our feelings about the movie differed. Sister + SIL felt that there should have been more emphasis on salvaging the marriage, while Friend and I felt that true love was meant to be persuaded. (I’m not going to give the story away)
But, the main question is: do you meet someone, feel that you could live with them and grow to love them ( which I don’t personally think is always possible, cause love is not like a fungus that can just sprout up anyway/anywhere/anyhow.. another subject to be dealt with in future) and get married with the fear that you may lose out or do you take a step back, stop and wait, regardless of how long one might have to wait, hoping that your soul-mate may find you and for true love to find its way to your heart???

you wAiT.. by allll means you wait for that total soul consuming divinely inspired state of being! when we realise that life isnt a space of some 75 years! and that you'r preparing for EterNity, then time has no bounds and you make no compromises on what ur prepared to give to life and what you expect in return!!! the chain of life forms a continuum - every beautiful person u meet along the way is ur stepping stone invitation to grOw into the person that your soul mate seeks! and vice versa..you can choose to compromise and stop at some point (and even find happiness) or you can bravely trudge onward.. Trusting in the Guidance of the One Beloved.
i hope seeing this movie doesnt make me sad tho :P
oh and i love the LOve is Not a fUngus bit :)) rolling stones gather love all around them i say!!
i just opened your blog...saw the title of your new post....and went right to comments.....
i prefer to watch the movie first....and then read the reviews later :))...... make sense na?
fida . . .
kimya: i love what said about the soul mate and I agree that i meet the person that you are meant to be with, once you have become the person that you are meant to be.. watch the movie, although you will cry, you wont be sad, and then you can tell me what you thought about the storyline.. since there are alot of mixed feelings on this one..
Fida: sorry if i upset, but read the post, its not a review, and i did not give the story away.. Hope you enjoy the movie when you do watch it.. SRK looks awesome!!!
i go with Kimya on this one.
that's what i wonder...oh and where does takdeer comes into effect with regards to marriage?
it confuses the hell out of me.
i just don't know anymore.
but then again, looking at what your sister in law and sister are talking about, it makes a lot of sense.
they are more experienced than us unmarried people and so they understand what is going on.
they know what is at stake and what to look at and how to sort out problems.
they understand that it's not just love that gets you by..it's a whole lot more.
it's something my married sister was explaining to me earlier...now that i think about it...
sometimes i think we're too busy looking at the romantic aspect of a relationship to think about the reality of a situation.
or perhaps i'm just wrong and i don't know what i'm talking about ;)
hmmm, that is actually very good advice. i cant believe i just said that!
but bottom-line - how long is the movie?!
OMG.. I have just been dumbfounded.. did ZEE just enquire about a Bollywood movie? I think that I have been trying to convice you to watch them for at least 4 yeasr now Zee, but, seriously, this is one U have GOt to watch... its awesome!!!
Fatima: the takdeer thing is also confusing me recently... gonna have an entire post dedicated to it soon..
ps: i just watched K.A.N.K last nite.. sunday 27th. im on analysis overloAD rite now, but as soon as i sort all the theories out in my head in neat little files.. i be back to this discussion
