Ok, I know I'm going a little overboard with the reviews of Shahrukh Khan's movies; but, I can't help it. I just enjoy them so much!!! The next one is a bit different. The sub-titles could have been improved; maybe it was just a lower budget movie. Nonetheless, I also enjoyed this one!
Rab ne bana di Jodi is the story of a common man's love story. Shahrukh Khan plays a common man and its amazing how well he acts in this movie. It is very difficult to recognize Shahrukh as the main character. He is so versatile that he can make the audience believe just about anything. He plays a nerd so well that we forget how handsome he is. How do we remember it is a character being played by Shahrukh Khan? because the character is so convincing and endearing. We care about him. The plot revolves around a marriage based upon a dying man's request. While Surinder (Shahrukh) loves Taani (Anushka Sharma), she does not love him and is miserable. Surinder wants her love and will do just about anything for her. He agrees to allow her to attend dance class. She meets an odd, energetic, outgoing young man (Surinder's newly created secret alter-ego, Raj) who becomes her dance partner. Eventually, of course, she falls for him. Will she remain true to her husband and marriage, or follow her heart?
Although a predictable story line, Shahrukh Khan's performance makes it worth it. Although the Raj character is ridiculous, there are moments of heart that endear him to you. Again, Shahrukh brings heart and humanity to the characters that he portrays. Surinder is reserved, stuffy, boring, yet we intuit the depth of emotion under the surface, thanks to Shahrukh's portrayal. This movie is worth seeing just to watch and analyze Shahrukh's acting skill.
