Adi Ne Bana Di Jodi

The movie title is picked up from an old Amitabh-Shashi
starrer called ‘Suhaag’ which had the song ‘Teri Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’,
so this is the second movie-title picked from a Shashi Kapoor movie;
earlier one being DDLJ. Anyways, that’s not what the post is about.
Previously, it was suspected that the movie is on the lines of My Fair
Lady. But neither the promo nor the dual role of SRK suggests that.
Moreover, the plot of a rustic village girl being transitioned into a
hi-fi society girl and/or impersonating has been done to death in
movies like Raja Jani, Khel, MKTA etc
Anyways, I just got this mail that gives out a brief storyline of the
movie. And though I would like to believe that the movie does not have
such a theme, you never know. Adi can do anything. Let me first give a
bird’s eye view of the story.
So, SRK a simpleton is married off to a much younger woman. He has a
small time job and lives an ordinary life, but his nubile wife wants
some action in her life, some enthusiasm and a break from this normal
routine. Here in comes the dance portion. There is a dance contest
titled ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ being aired [Nach Baliye types] and his
wife wants to take part in it. SRK overhears this small
aspiration/wish of hers and realises that he has kind of tied down her
life and feels he should try and fulfil her wishes. Yeah, enter SRK
genX with hairs all gelled and tight t-shirt. How he enters the scene
and the contest with her is to be watched out. He pairs-up with her
and probably goes on to win the contest. Even if they don’t win the
contest, he definitely wins her over in the last reel of the movie
when she realises that he is her good-old-hubby.
This premise sounds pretty good and we can fairly fit in Shaimak
Davar’s association, dance theme, SRK dual role and of course Big B’s
guest appearance as one of the judges. But if we can recall, this
theme was a side-track in the movie ‘Aaja Nachle’, where Vinay Pathak
redeems himself through the theatre/dance sequence and his wife finds
new respect and love for him.
Anyways, I just hope there is more to the movie than this. But having
seen Adi’s movies, all of which have wafer thin plots, this is quite
possible. The screenplay has to be strong to pull of such a lame theme
and the dialogues have to be crisp.
Lets wait and watch, just a month to go before this year-end release.
Keeping my fingers crossed that Adi has made a good ‘Jodi’

kya surendra sahni ke roop mein king khan sahi lagenge?
aur agar sahi lag gaye to srk fans ko bhi janchenge?
waise bhi srk ne jab jab moonchh lagayi,film box office par PAHELI ho gayi.
loading...
Dekhenge kya hota hai aage,.
Promo me to Moonchhe zoot lag rahi thi,.
aajkal SRK ji bahot “Earnest” lag rahe hai,..
loading...
yaar, i am quite confident ki aisa hi koi andu pandu script hoga. The trailer has a scene where he is putting a teeka and she puts colour on his face. i guess the story is that SRK knows this girl from his neighbourhood or that he goes to a marriage and ends up marrying her because the original dulha walks away. Or she runs away from home during her shaadi and he hides her. He then brings her to his home, where he stays alone. He makes an effort to be nice to her and she gently reciprocates. Slowly they fall in love. then someone passes a snide remark and he takes it upon himself to become a cool dude.
Whatever be the story, i have a feeling ki isme amitabh bachchan will make a special appearance.
Chandni chowk to china will kick its ass.

yaar wasie bhi ye public hai sab jante hai,
time change ho raha hai, ab usmain Shahrukh ho ya amit ji
agar script perfect hai to movie chalege warna wahi haal hoga jaisey BOOTHNATH film ka hua tha !!

just got my hands on the sound track.. and here is my verdict… DISSAPPOINTING… I mean really.. they havent learnt anything..
track one.. haule haule.. is monotone and monologue.. sukhvinder should bring his old variation he sounds same in all the songs he sings these days.. daler mehndi would have done better job..
track two.. tujh mein rab dikhta hai.. typical yashraj number.. .will be forgotten as soon as movie will disappear from theater
track three: dance pe chance.. really where was the need to revive flop track of tashan.. dil dance mare..
track four : phir milenge chalet chalte is funny medley of old song and has serious hangover of Om shanti om.. .o boy.. gimme break…
track five : female version of tujh mein rab dikhta hai.. nothing better here..
track six : remix version of dance pe chance.. phewww…
seriously… just listen to Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye… and have fun..
my rating 1/5 ..
loading...
Oops for spelling Disappointing incorrectly..
loading...
what one can expect from adi and shahrukh combo…they want to win audience…but it seems impossible…lets hope for good…

@badmaash the music of oye lucky is really sad too…its ok if you did not like RNBDJ but no way is the music of oye lucky any better than that…actually its quite worse.

Whatever I had seen of movie on youtube, to be honest the movie looks a refreshing change for the usual YRF capers, though frankly they have gone overboard for the simpleton look of SRK, I mean it kind of looks forced, the whole spectacles and moustache look screams to be noticed. Look! Look! he is middle class, he is simple, they could have done that without going over the top, had they restrained themselves a bit. I haven’t really listened to all songs, but I’ve heard Haule Haule, and Sukhvinder has nailed that song, he has beautifully sung it, the lyrics are a bit too simple in my honest opinion(for the particular song!), so I’m really looking forward to this movie, but if this is the plot of the movie as given in this post, then I guess I should be miles away from the theatre hall. For me, the premise is not at all interesting, though it is grossly unfair to judge a movie barely by reading its plot synopsis, because all said and done, it is the execution that matters at the end of the day. Although, this plot synopsis dampens my spirit a wee bit, am still looking forward to this movie. Atleast for Adi’s sake, if not for anyone else.
loading...
I have no expectations from this one…though I must admit there was a time (during 2003-2005) I used to look forward to every Yash Raj film.But now I really dont know what they are doing.Heard they are also doing a film where Rani Mukherjee is playing cricket!!!God save us.
loading...
@ajay b’taj: army was another movie where he had a moustache and the movie flopped
its not just the moochh, whenever he has tried a change of image, the movie has not done well. sample this:
paheli – cultural flop
swades – rural flop
asoka – collosal flop
1 2 ka 4 – judicial flop
har dil jo pyar karega – mental flop [though in guest app]
josh – jovial flop
hey ram – hisotrical flop
and many more.
probably the junta wants to see him only as raj/rahul. or maybe he is comfy doing only raj/rahul. whenever he attempts anything out of his comfy zone, he screws it up big time. will post an article on this soon
loading...
one thing thats sad about aditya chopra is that he has the money the fucking money to transform indian cinema
he still goes for formulaic “commercial” bullshit which doesent make any money or doesent earn any praise from the critics
3 cheers for UTV
loading...
hey vivek….just because he has the money it does not give you or me or the audience or film critics the right to decide how he spends it. they can just reject what is given to them, not decide what gets made in the first place. However incase, if overtime adi Chopras film’s continue to not do well then at some point he may change his strategy….that does not seem likely. In a way Yashraj films are the equivalent of hollywood summer blockbusters and the money spent on those films is never intended to transform cinema, so relax and enjoy or stay away…
loading...
The letter could be a viral campaign. Initially it was publicized that the script was closely guarded and now to have people fwd’ ing emails and SMS about the movie. Similar to how RGV used to do sometime ago.
@Crazyrals, eagerly waiting for that article of yours. Great observation I must say.
And I so agree with UTV going so well with their strategy. More power to them!
loading...
Youve Hit it right,I saw some stills, and youre right when it comes to the storyline,thanks, and yeah YRF needs to open up,As Vivek said 3 Cheers For UTV Spotboy!
loading...
Looks like the Nach Baliye angle is kinda true. Just got a movie stills and there we have a very ‘yo’ and ‘hip’ SRK dancing onstage with the heroine with the audience in the background. few others too indicate the story that you’ve mentioned here crazyrals.
loading...
Looks like a marketing strategy by Yashraj films to promote the movie, they are just giving some hints so that we all discuss and create enough publicity to watch it…kudos to Adi
loading...
@crazyrals, i think the Sports dint flop (chak De)
loading...
just take a chill pill… dnt forget this is KING KHAN!!!He will make impossible possible…and wl mk us woo for himself….okkay????
after seeing d film we all wl say…wah!rab ne jodi banaya bhi to kya banaya!wah!
loading...
Noo Prashant N..Such publicity would be stupid and of no use,considering its a YRF Film,they dont need their film to be talked about!
loading...
@Prashant N : chak de was not as big a hit as his other raj/rahul movies. moreoever, he did not have an image change; he just sported a stubble and mumbled lines, eating half of them. no wonder ppl came back again just to hear those mumbled words which did not easily come out. he looked grave, but he did not act grave. he was SRK all the way, with the lisp in the talk and nod of the head. chak de is an over-rated movie, and u can see right through it was hollow.
by the way, RNBDJ has a dancing couple just below the title of the movie; have u observed tat ???
loading...
I personally Chak De was way too overrated.
And sadly, the plot synopsis of Rab de.. suggests the girl falls in love with new look SRK throughout the compeition, not realising even once that he is actually her hubby. I mean, give me a big break! I thought love was only blind, but if this is what they show in the movie, love would be blind,dumb,lame and Yashraj.!
loading...
@Jehan
Yeah its YRF, but that would have been true 2-3 years back. Now they are struggling to keep the image of the production house after a series of flops and sever competition coming from other houses like UTV.
@Tanul – If the story is like girl falls in love without noticing that he is actually her hubby, then its a foolish gamble from adi…thodi toh akal hogi ladki main
@crazyrals – i would say it was not as bad as raj/rahul movies…i even liked swades…i think adi understood your point and dint keep the name of the main character as raj/rahul
loading...
“hey vivek….just because he has the money it does not give you or me or the audience or film critics the right to decide how he spends it”
did i say that even ? :S
loading...
@Vivek: Yes, it doesn’t give us any right to decide what he should do with it, the money that is. But, it really saddens me to see him squandring it away when the same money could be utilised to power many new ideas.!
loading...
I totally agree with whatever crazyrals has said. I am so glad to find somebody thinking like me. In fact, many PFC members seem to be thinking that way.
Not only ‘Chak de’ but everything that Shahurukh has done in past few years is unbearably overhyped. Within past one week I have read at least 6-7 full page interviews of him full of ‘gyaan’that nobody cares for. They have tried to clear him of controversies and portray him as a great person and a thinker which he actually isn’t.
Sample this. Interviewer in DNA writes, Shahrukh turned down a request from another journalist for an interview at 9.00 p.m. because that’s the time when he puts his children to sleep. Such a loving, caring family man!!!! Give me a break. A star can ask the scribe to interview him at any time of his choice. These days interviews are done on e-mail also. But then Shahrukh is so great na!!! He flew down to be with his wife when she was down with food poisoning. (Mid Day or Mirror)How cute!!
Point being, be prepared for a great amount of such bullshit in the form of interviews, features, trivia etc till RBDJ is released and duely declared hit right after the first show.
Thereafter, there will be reports convincing us that it’s a big hit and everybody has liked it. Enjoy!
loading...
do you all know that shahrukh does not talk to hindi media.for him media means mumbai press and channels.but this time he is in the mood of patch up.his interview in bombay times is a patch up exercise.unlike aamir he is insecure.
loading...
Really I was trying my very best not to voice my opinion on this article and the comments I have read so far but it is near impossible to read such bias and dislike.
You should re-name your forum – Let’s bash YRF. It would be a more appropriate name!
Come on – why such vitriol? Perhaps you should analyse and write detailed comments on films like Golmaal and it’s Return. Singh is Kinng, EMI and countless others. To those who are championing CCTC, I ask why? Will it be along the lines of SIK or SEI and therefore another cinematic perfection. Will it be another awe inspiring film by Akshay Kumar? Really I am most dissappointed by the contibutors on this forum.
If I may say so, the films you lot like are not THAT path-breaking or brilliant. They just cater (sometimes) for the slightly better educated and thinking Asian audience but still far removed from “Good Cinema”.
You lot are not purveyors of “good cinema” but a discontented and frustrated bunch of journalists and maybe directors who have not hit it big even though you claim to know what is good for”us the audience”. Luckily for us what you lot think does not effect the outcome of films in India.
I was compelled to write in as the mean spirit of this board is stifling. You should wait to see a film before you shred it to bits! But of course that is a foregone conclusion since your motto is to hate “all things YRF”.
loading...
@ sasha…..
ur comments are silly…..
if u love yashraj so much then y dont u write about the good aspects of their films urself…people who hate yashraj films are free to write so are people who love them……
people have preconceived notions abt RNBDJ because of the kind of movies they have made in the last three years……
tell me how many movies made by them qualify as good films….
chakde india/ kabul express …..
there is something called a search feature here ..try it….ull find pieces on them as well as Golmaal & SIK
if u say so that the films that we like are not path breaking , i say that films that u seem to like are piles of shit…..
write about those shit films u like…dont crib and slander…if u want urself to be taken seriously…
loading...
Oh and I should take YOU seriously! I don’t want to write about YRF. And who am I slandering may I ask?
I WANT to write about you lot at PFC. Look up articles yourself. You lot have nothing good to write about YRF and that is your perogative but at least wait for the release of the film. By the way, any bets that you are going to like it!
See I have no particular gripe about the comments by people like myself who react to your articles at PFC but I do have issues with people who hold themselves up as some sort of “conscience of the people” or “we know what is good and what is rubbish” article contributors.
Just because you lot are articulate in expressing your opinions doesn’t make them more compelling or justified! You are just as neurotic and agenda based as any other more “trashy site”. Is that slander? Why don’t you sue me!
loading...
seems to me that u have ur formed ur opinion of this place based on few articles and comments which criticize yashraj…..
u see people have a right to praise or criticize cinema of their choice …..well u can criticize their choices but not their right to choice……
shud someone take ur permission to write abt a film….
so what if its a yashraj film…
so wats if its not released…..
people can have preconceived notions about a film based on the look or the teasers of the film…
will u say the same thing if i change the movie here from RNBDJ to DeshDrohi and SRK to Kamal Khan….
loading...
Yes. I might not necessarily voice my discord about some other article I disagree with because in the main the most negativity is reserved for YRF – and that is why I write in.
Criticism is a good thing! But have you ever heard of constructive criticism? If the above comments by many high-lighted in blue are that, I shall beg your pardon!
loading...
I think Sasha is from YRF!

Ahhhhh, how did you guess?
loading...
Sasha you made my day, your sense of humor rocks.
loading...
Well it was difficult – not as difficult as guessing a YRF ka story – but I pulled it off!
:P
@ Topic -
I think this Story was publised in Mid-day and then adi called up Mid-day dudes and #$#%$% it was off their site in seconds!
I think the title of the story was : Revealed
loading...
Sasha….I feel that your opinion here seems quite impulsive.
Check this post and the comments therein…might give you some room to change your opinion
http://passionforcinema.com/can-aditya-chopra-pull-it-off/
loading...
@Sasha: equal opportunity does not mean you run someone down because you dont like what they say.. it means that you have an equal voice. PFC gives you that opportunity.PFC is a forum for cinema. Good, bad or ugly – as long as you like it and it affects you..please write about it.
This is not a question about “YOU lot”… if you go thru the articles you will find heartwarming articles about magical films like Gunda. You will find articles about people who loved K3G, DDLJ, Golmaal returns, etc. You will also find articles about black friday, wednesday, kubrick, bergman, fellini and sanajy bhansali…
“Just because you lot are articulate in expressing your opinions doesn’t make them more compelling or justified! You are just as neurotic and agenda based as any other more “trashy site”. Is that slander? “…. well that is the best part of democracy…everyone has a voice and the people on this site respect it… if you have something to say then say it but please do no stand and point fingers and others who do so… If you feel PFC is “like any other trashy site” then I would love to see the site… I am proud of what PFC stands for… it stands for the voice of the individual.. it stands for a platform for all movie lovers… nothing personal… and nothing wrong in liking YRF, lots of us here do so… I adore his films… but that doesnt mean that all his films are classics…
loading...
sasha,
this is not YRF bashing. this is just expressing an opinion or rather bringing forth the way vested interests work. what do you have to say about some so called critics and journalists who constantly run down some personalities and their films? What about their mean spirit? If a film is good we will like it. We don’t have hidden agendas. What we hate is the undue hype and a relentless effort to make something ’special’ and ‘great’ when it is actally not.
loading...
@Sophocles: Everybody has the right to express their point of view. It is just the denigrating tone that I object to. It is as if, after a spat of perhaps not very inspiring films, people have decided that “nothing good” will ever come out of that production house – which is not very fair – is it?
Contrary to some opinion, I HAVE read other articles. I may not have agreed with them all but at least they give some sort of respect to the subject matter whilst at the same time being critical.
A lot of the comments about YRF that I read are plain and simply aggressive towards them – laughing at them almost. If that is what people want to do then forgive me for not being able to distinguish between them and the people who comment on places like Rediff (of course they do it without the swear words and ultra bad language).
It is not that I “love” YRF, it is just that I pick up on the contempt with which they are held here and I find myself wanting to defend them because THEY don’t make SUCH terrible films!
loading...
talk about rab ne bana di jodi…forget sasha.let him write or comment…we must continue our discussion on rnbdj,adi,srk and yashraj…
loading...
@sasha: i seriously feel tat u r barking up the wrong tree. nowhere in my post have i written anything derogatory abt yrf/adi/srk.
on the contrary, we r all hoping tat adi rekindles the magic of ddlj once again; but we r apprehensive tat he cud be heading for a disaster with such a thin storyline etc.
by the way, the ‘haule haule’ song is catching up haule-haule
i for one, m a big fan of yrf movies, pre-2006 and i think they lost it after the new found success went to their head.

Are bhai logon tumhare paas kuch waan nahi hai kya yeahi sab likhte rahte ho kya.Yeah movies kuch dene wali nahi hai bhai logon yeah SRK khudh kama raha hai aur tum log yeah sab likh padh kar apna time waste kar rahe ho,you also make your life good and make money and for that you dont need to see any SRK movie.
loading...
alright!!! for years i tried to understand what ticks behind the immense popularity of SRK. to be perfectly honest, being overseas and completely out of touch from hindi movies for the longest of times, i had a bit of catch up to do. hence, tried to watch a few SRK movies, with good faith. but, never could force myself to like any of his movies. it maybe i am already biased towards any AK (Aamir Khan) movies. or maybe each time, he (AK) offers me something new. or it maybe AK movies appeal to ones brains whereas SRK movies to ones heart (as many says) and my heart is made of stone and it doesn’t melt that easily. call me sexist, i often wonder, could these be the very same reasons each one appeals to a certain segment of the hindi movie audience? and finally, could we not conclude each are good in their unique ways?
p.s. excuse my changing the topic a bit and my small caps as i’m a bit lazy tonight

There is one thing always.. sharukh khan has critics and when he comes back with bash some people say :
Its his good luck
some say no movies at that time
or direction was good/heroine was good
But one thing is there that SHARUKH KHAN is god of cinema no one has.. no one will again come to match his calliber
I bet .. film shall be duper hit of year
I love u SHarukh..

I am neither a hardcore fan of Amir or Shahrukh.But I feel that more than superstars they are good actors when compared to likes of Bobby Deol,Salman Khan,Sanjay Dutt,Sunil Shetty etc.But there seems to be more of tilt towards Amir as a thinking man’s actor.That I don’t think is fair.If u look at Shahrukh’s career he has always tried to
come out of his Raj/Rahul characters but unfortunately audience do not seem to accept him unlike Amir.Examples being Paheli,Swades,Chak De,Ashoka,Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na.

Comments 48 and 49 are making this look like a Rediff Message Board. That is the last thing we need here on PFC.
loading...
@Ratnakar
Why? Because they are using simple words and gushing over SRK. Would it help if they pull out the dictionary and use bigger more intelligent-sounding words? Come on guys, when discussing SRK and YRF, this place is just as bad as rediff’s message board, just different packaging. A lot of good discussion goes on here, but you do digress sometimes. Can be an absolute turnoff.
This place tends to think of itself as the common sense of cinema. The know-all and end-all of film-making. It is not! Good, sometimes intelligent topics from contributors, interesting perspectives and discussions, and some good film makers. That is it! Let us not go over board. Like Sasha said, watch the movie first.
loading...
@Lily: What Ratnakar meant, I guess, was the way in which the comments were expressed. Comments #48, 49 reek of immaturity, which is so common of Rediff message boards. What makes you think ‘bigger-intelligent-sounding words’ are more respected here? It is not only about what you write, but how you write.
Comment No. 48 – everybidy against him are foolish dogs.
Comment No. 49 – GAJNI IS FLOP .. BUT RAB NE..!! IS JST GOING TO BE A BLOCKBUSTER,
If the aforementioned comments are not immature, then what else is?
And by the way, this comment of mine doesn’t contain any ‘intelligent sounding words’. But, you might be perturbed by ‘aforementioned’. Wait. I’ll ease your pain.
Aforementioned – The one or ones mentioned previously; Previously mentioned.
loading...
I think Aamir is given a benefit of doubt of being an intelligent actor more than any one else.
Yes, at times this looks like one step away from being Rediff but some how sanity always prevails.
@54 Tanul,
I think perturbed was more intelligent than aforementioned :-)
@Lily
I am a fan of SRK but never ever I compare his or any one else’s movies with others. Apples and oranges waali baat hain na.
loading...
Come dec 12th-RNBDJ will out & come dec 25th-Ghajini will be out.As a true bollywood lover I am eagerly expecting these 2 releases & hope that both would do well.
Atleast that would bring some cheer to a lot of people in the trade and ensure a good closure for 2008!!!
loading...
You like him or hate him, but you cannot just ignore SRK, thats one fact nobody can deny. His movies have never been path breaking or very intellectual and he never claims them to be one. He knows how well to package and market a movie, he knows how to bring in the majority of people to movie halls, he for one reads the pulse of audience really well in most of the cases. His stupendous success at the BO proves that. so just lets hope RNBJ hits the right chord and turns out to be a big block buster.
loading...
First of all I am the Greatest Fan of Shahrukh. Before watching the film I rate it as an Blockbuster Film. I am going to watch this film with many expectations. According, to me inspite of the story, it is shahrukh that worth me the most,i.e I just go the see the movie b’coz of shahrukh. I really love him. Fact or truth is nobody can replace him.
All the best wishes to shahrukh. Everything that happens will be positive for you. Film is going to be a big hit.
