Alas! The pain of living through the ordeal known as unrequited love. It has often bewildered me how the human emotion of this hormonal reaction transforms an almost selfish act into something so mystical and apparently magical.
What brough on this stark realisation was the movie saawariya. I came to a really serious conclusion. Apparently unrequited love is really life's way of throwing a challenge your way. Its a blow meant to test your patience and bring you down. And as Ranbir rather eloquently puts it, there's only one way to make sure that this unfair unhappiness doesn't take over your life. That is- to smile. And fight.(in the movie)
Apparently: Agar aapko aapka pyar mile, Toh samjho ke Khuda aap par meherbaan ho gaya,
Aur agar aapko aapka pyaar nahin mile, Toh samjho ke Khuda aap se ek jaan hi gaya. (STrictly the dialogues of the movie saawariya. WARNING: UNACCOUNTABLE CONTENT. BLOG OWNER DOES NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY IF THE ABOVE WORDS DON'T HOLD TRUTH)
So here's my request to everyone, cause everyone has faced unrequited love atleast once in their lives- do not fear. Madhuri says that there is someone somewhere made for everyone. So hang in there.
My opinion, Ranbir and Sonam are both raw but I'm sure given some time both will emerge as good actors. Both have screen presence and an acute sense of camera. Rani is a delight to watch. She excels at even the small role given to her. A news channel asked me after I came out of the theatre if I would go watch the movie again, and I said maybe........(to be fair though I've never gone to watch a movie twice in a theatre.) So there you go, for those who are looking for an opinion of someone who isn't professionally reviewing the movie.
Here's wishing you all a very Happy Diwali. God bless!
