God has His ways , but this strange ....

I am incorrigible : each time i publish a post , i "pledge " that i would keep this space dirty with my scribblings .......
This is my third post in 4 months or so ....
Need i say more ...
Anyways , for starters Happy New Year !!! Sincerely hoping that this year would turn dreams to reality and sweat to success .....
Well , as it happens , after a long time i watched a lot of movies ......( was busy with "friends " before this time ) , one of which deserves a mention ( not that it was the best movie i saw around this time but just that it had stirred a lot of attention and a lot of "hysteria" ) .
Rab ( God) ne bana di jodi can easily qualify as the most "miraculous " love story of our times ...
Romantic plots are SRK's forte and the machoistic phrases of proclaiming himself as "The King " that he dishes out every now and then , are heard only because of the sensisitive and sweet portrayal of "the champion of love " . Most of love stories that can be envisaged in an Indian prospective should have been "Been There , Done That " kind of stuff for him ...
But , this movie defies logic and the domain of love . It has been criticised enough for the wife not being able to recognize her hubby sans his moustache ( Aamir , dont you think you can "work out " a script that focuses on this "disabled recognition memory " disease for your next movie ??) and i am all praise for the critics ( Masand and TOI ) for this .
But mind you ,she also can give serious competion to unicellulars if it comes to intelligence . She dint realiase that it could only be his "punjab power " husband who can make the city lights go on and off to display " I LOVE YOU " all across Amritsar and not the "cannot ride scooty" garage owner Raj ..
But , all this amounts to nothing , for there is divine intervention . The non heroic , not "common man" ( common man arenot that dumb, watch slumdog if you dont trust me ) , suddenly has sun shining behind him in the backdrop of The Golden Temple and Anushka suddenly sees "Rab " in him . I really thought i had a bad cd and had missed about 20 mins of the movie when i saw the sudden transformation in Anushka .
But , then I hear on the MTVs and all , that girls are "crazy " about Suri 's character all over the "world " ......and then i was a believer ....
Just kidding :) ....
The movie had good songs .... ummm
Cant think of more positive points ( i suffer from this "mental inablility to see the positives of SRK's movies " syndrome .... ) .
But the director , he gave us great love stories like DDLJ , if he can see "Rab" we must be a believer ( Did somebody say he is divorced ???) .
Anyways , keypads were never that mighty enough that they can shake SRK's popularity and this one boasts of "God" involved ...
May this year bring more power to "the keyboard " and better films than Rab Ne ...

Cheers ....
