Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi Film Review
December 15 2008 03:10 PST
Critic: Phylis J. Iqbal
The Story:
The story is of a methodical, lonely man named Surinder Sahni who works for an electric company named Punjab Power. By luck he finds himself married to a vivacious woman named Taani. Having recently lost her father and the man she was suppose to marry, Tanni is overcome with sadness and tells Surinder that she will never be able to love him. The generally reserved man takes on an alter ego called Raj, in hopes of simultaneously pulling his wife out of sadness and getting her to fall in love with him through a dance competition. By the end he has more or less attained his goal at the cost of what he truly wants.
Characters:
Shahrukh Khan as Surinder - Nerdy and reserved man who works for an electric company and ends up going to great lengths to make his new wife fall in love with him!
Anushka Sharma as Taani - A beautiful, energetic woman who has just entered a marriage with a man she is not in love with and the death of her father and the man she was suppose to marry has left her full of sorrow.
Vinay Pathak as Balwinder Khosla "Bobby" - The best friend of Surinder, Bobby is the hair dresser who helps transform Surinder into his alter ego Raj. He is immediately fun and makes everyone laugh effortlessly.

Shahrukh Khan as Surinder
Anushka Sharma as Taani

Crew:
Distributor: Yash Raj Films
Production House: Yash Raj Films
Director: Aditya Chopra
Story & Screenplay: Aditya Chopra
Choreography: Shiamak Daver, Ahmed Khan, and Sulaiman Merchant
Costumes: Aki Narula
Make-Up: Mickey Contractor
Lyrics: Salim Merchant, Sulaiman Merchant
Music Director: Salim Merchant, Sulaiman Merchant
What Works:
The films cinematography is amazing , Aditya Chopra did an amazing job taking the filmgoer into new worlds and the entire movie is an exceptionally well filmed movie. The costumes are also very nicely done as well as the dancing which has to be good as the movie's story includes a dance competition in it.
What Doesn't Work:
For all of the talent of the actors, including the newest addition, Anushka Sharma bring, the storyline has something lacking. The story is definitely the biggest problem of the entire film, although there are many parts that draw you in whether it's through the tragedy or through the laughter, much of it seems to drag on.
The Soundtrack:
The film's soundtrack has a lot to offer to the listener. Saliem and Sulaiman Merchant do a fantastic job, especially with the film's cameo appearance song "Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte". The other song I especially enjoyed was "Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta Hai" as its slightly cheesy, but a romantic love song.
Slated Or Rated?
Definitely Rated! This movie has its moments where the story seems to be lacking, but the strength of the characters and the light-hearted moments that make you laugh make this one to check out. Whether you take your family or take a date, by the end, this movie is sure to bring a smile to everyone's face!
Rating: 4 out of 5
