Steineded How sad is this?

Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Gypsi Bates Vivacious, beautiful Taani (Anushka Sharma) suffers a catastrophe on the eve of her wedding, and at her father's request, she marries his trusted student Suri (Shah Rukh Khan). Serious, nerdy Suri fell in love with her at first sight, but Taani tells him she'll never be able to love him, nor be happy and light-hearted again. Suri takes on the role of a fun-loving Raj in her dancing class, hoping to make her laugh again, and hoping to use Raj to help Taani fall in love with Suri. Things don't work as Suri had hoped, and he sees his chance of happiness with Taani become slim.In this romantic drama, Khan plays an average man as Suri, and brash and loud as Raj, neither the handsome or charming character that is his usual role. This he does surprisingly well. Sharma, in her first role, was excellent, and fully believable in her emotions. While the songs and choreography were average, the cinematography, locations, and sets were lovely. I was conflicted as to the credibility of Taani's reaction to the truth, but otherwise found this to be a sweet and enjoyable film with a beautiful message, celebrating unselfish love.

MartinHafer "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" is an enjoyable film, though I have to admit that the story is awfully silly and make this a rather silly Shah Rukh Khan outing.When the story begins, Surinder (Khan) has just gotten married through a traditional arranged marriage. The problem is that his wife, Taani (Anushka Sharma) is much, much younger and Surinder is a bit of a dork. So, instead of celebrating their marriage and both being happy, the marriage is in trouble. Surinder sees his wife as perfect and unapproachable and Taani seems to give very little emotionally to the marriage. In fact, I wanted to slap Taani repeatedly and yell at her "He's your husband...love him with all you have!". Later in the film, Taani decides to take a dance class. While there may be dance classes like this in India, it took me by surprise, as they seemed to be dancing much like you'd expect in a Bollywood film. However, her new partner is an odd guy...brash, full of life and conceited. Well, this Raj is actually Surinder in disguise...and Taani believes these are two different guys. When this happened, the film lost me and I almost turned it off. After all, aside from shaving off the mustache and blow drying the hair and changing clothes, they BOTH looked exactly like Shah Rukh Khan!! I assume the Indian audiences just suspended disbelief...but I kept thinking Taani was really stupid for not seeing that they were the same guy!!! And later, when Surinder works hard (finally) to win her over, she is pretty awful about this.Despite my MANY reservations, the film does work overall for three reasons. First, the acting is quite nice...and you cannot blame the actors for the dopey story elements. Second, the music is great. Third, the ending is so sweet that I ALMOST forgot how dopey the story had been! Worth seeing but inconsequential as well.

samantha904 The movie evoked a lot of emotions because both of the main characters, Taani and Suri were well developed and characters you can feel much sympathy for. They are both lost and alone in their own ways, and I kept thinking 'But they don't have to be lost and alone...if only they would talk, if only they didn't remain so silent with each other, they could help each other not be so lost, so alone in their marriage.' Maybe that's what the message was supposed to be. That said I loved the soundtrack, the dancing was great, even if the character of Raj was an over-the-top kind of fool. Raj's character did provide some comic relief from the overwhelming sadness of Taani who lost both her father and her fiancé the day of her planned wedding and then married Suri which was her dying father's last wish, and the equally sad state of Suri who loves Taani but is too quiet, too reserved to tell her he loves her since he first saw her and does not want her to change, that he wants her to be happy, but she's too blinded by her sadness and loss to see the subtle ways he does try to show his love, in fact she doesn't really see him at all. She does see Raj, but only because he is so "in your face", he forces her to see him, to spend time with him, to get to know him, and she has no idea he is actually her husband in disguise. Unfortunately Suri's alter-ego of Raj is such a persistent clown at trying to win over Taani, that Suri fades even more in to the shadows in Taani's eyes.

timesquare66 This movie was the one of the lamest bollywood stories ever. Srk nerdy look with mustache was just OK and normal average shy man in the streets but his cocky makeover is annoying(He overacts).Anuksha Sharma was the only good thing about this movie and of course songs which were better than OK but not that good as srk's earlier movies.Did this movie become a hit because of the songs or srks overacting, i don't know.Anuksha looks pretty in yellow. The pani puri eating scene was the only scene I liked.
