Man's greatness is not in never falling but rising every-time he falls

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara


A refreshingly neat movie.

Good films are like poetry. It is not correct to think that a good movie is an end result of a brilliant story. ZNMD is one of the simplest and neatest movies that i remember watching in recent times. There is enough comedy, but not the slapstick kind. There are intense and passionate moments but nothing is in excess. Its technically brilliant too. Editing (watch that fading light on Kalki's face when the bedlamp goes off),  cinematography (i wished there was more use of the base-light technique that PCSriram used to adopt) and BGS are perfect to a fault.  Farhan is a hidden talent. A must watch.

As coincidence would have it, I have been planning an exclusive and elaborate vacation in Spain next summer based on what i have been reading here or there.  And this film now defines how elaborate it should be.
