Surinder Sahni ne bana diya Hit!

Saw RBNBDJ today and came back totally impressed by the king khan's performance. In a weird manner he has acted his best as Surinder Sahni and also his worst as the
overthe top character raj who flirts with Tanni(anushka sharma in the movie)


Surinder's character played by the king khan is simply brilliant..he has done a class act in this one..He plays the part of the simple, frugal, loveless Suri to perfection.

You will love everything about this character-his hesitancy, his overtly simple clothes, his adoration for his new wife, his happiness at little joys like getting a tiffin from his wife

There was this little kid sitting next to me at the movies and he liked Suri's charcter so much so that whenever Raj was on screen, he would bellow, "But Mom suri kahan hai?"(mom,where is Suri?)..I think the whole audience was asking the same question whenever he wasnt on screen..For 'Surinder Sahni' Rab ne is a must watch...Just like Punjab Power he lights up the screen whenever he appears on it..

In the end, just one correction..the song in the movie should have beenhaule haule sabko 'surinder' se pyar ho jayaga..

P.S. On a side note I feel that Aditya Chopra has tailored the look and the role of Surinder based on himself. He is a lot like that character apparently in real life.

Surya and Jyothika-The reel to real life couple

Surya and Jyothika make such a cute couple. The adjoining picture shows what a happy family portrait they make.
I saw this pair together for the first time when I watched 'Kaaka Kaaka'. The movie was okay but what really stood out was the chemistry between the lead pair of Surya and Jyothika.
In that movie Jyothika goes all out to woo Surya who plays a honest-to-goodness cop, who tried his best not to fall for her. Of course the matters of the heart cause him to eventually capitulate.

Kaaka Kaaka starts off with my most favorite song "Oyire Oyire". It has an extremely infectious beat and of course Surya :) The movie also had the other really catchy song, 'Onra renda asagal' something like that which was used as the 'Zara zara ' track in the Hindi movie 'RHTDM'
I read somewhere the couple had a bit of a filmi love story with both sets of relations not agreeing(???) to the match. So they had to somehow over the years(5 yrs) convince their close relatives that they were pretty serious about each other.


Today they have a 1 year kid and it feels really good when such love stories culminate in marriage. Though it still beats me why Jyothika's parents or someone would have reservations to the prospect of such a good looking guy like Surya marrying their daughter..hmm..
