Let go of yourself - It's the perfect tag line for this movie. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is one of the few Bollywood movies which stays behind with you even after the movie is over.
Its basically a story of 3 longtime friends - Arjun(Hrithik Roshan), Imran(Farhan Akhtar) and Kabir(Abhay Deol). Kabir is getting married to Natasha(Kalki) and before marriage wants to go on a road trip to Spain with his best buddies, all in accordance with a pact which they had made a long time ago. Arjun is a stockbroker who is only interested in earning as much as he can till the age of 40 and then retire. Imran, being the joker of the pack, is a writer struggling hearts and hearts with a very important but unspoken thought. Katrina Kaif plays the role of Laila, who is their diving instructor in Spain and loves to live life to its fullest.
Spain has never been presented so beautifully. Some of the locales are truly breathtaking. The cinematography is bang on. In terms of performances, everybody chips in. If Hrithik Roshan can emote through his eyes, then Farhan Akhtar's one liners and comic timing is brilliant. Abhay Deol is his usual self, showing he can hold his own be it commercial cinema or offbeat cinema. Katrina Kaif, is a surprise. She is surprisingly good, and her chemistry with Hrithik Roshan is too die for. Kalki doesn't have much to do, but is good. But the real star of the movie is its screenplay and editing. The skydiving and underwater scenes are shot beautifully.
Zoya Akhtar is back in the director's seat after the critically acclaimed Luck By Chance. After watching this movie, you wonder why she doesn't make movies more often. The dialogs by Farhan Akhtar and the poems by Javed Akhtar deserve a special mention. The music by Shankar, Ehsaan & Loy is peppy. The songs Khwaabon ke parindey and Senorita however hog the limelight.
Simply put, ZNMD is a beautiful ride. Its by no means a Dil Chahata Hai or a Hangover, but it holds it's own special place.
