Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

"Seize the day", is the whole and soul of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. I was actually quite low on expectations with this movie. But this movie has turned out to be a vagabond of friendship, love, adventure, emotions and above all, LIFE. I always believed that Farhan Akhtar is a good showman. Right from Rock On!!, Luck By Chance and the duh Kartik Calling Kartik. But this movie has proved it that he has all the elements that are needed in an actor. He can dance, can cry (can sing of course) and now, he can make you laugh. Abhay – Farhan – Hrithik are the three mesquiteers. Zoya Akhtar is one more reason to watch this movie. The way she directed Luck By Chance was not all serendipitous, and she has proved it. ZNMD is all her baby. The male bonding penned and filmed by her is pleasant. The Spanish locations are exotic. Dialogues (By Farhan Akhtar) are real and spontaneous. Movie runs with its own good slow pace, which is very much needed for the road movies. Many scenes halt the heart and literally put you on an adventure mode. Movie would have been a way better if songs were good. Editing needed a bit more stitch. I have no complaints regarding the length of the movie, as I can watch this Spanish odyssey for more than two hours with a tub of pop corn and a coke. Overall, this road movie is a trip to remember.

ZNMD..i.e...Fun Adventurous ride that begins with fun and Ends with fun.It's something fresh in Indian cinema and kind of Genre which we haven't seen here in Bollywood.Beautiful cinematography and great cast performances which cherishes the bond of friendship and enjoying life 's every moment to the Fullest.It's for youth and fun and joy of Friendship. A must watch especially for friendship bonding and life beautiful experiences that re-invents and re-define our living and priorities so that we could live life to the Fullest.A recommended watch for all those who Gives friendship full importance.All 3 protagonist male gave mind blowing performances....especially by The Mr. Greek God (Hrithik Roshan)who certainly becoming perfectionist of perfection.Leading Gals Katrina and Kalki forms great support members for dis all out Stellar of a Movie.

Films dealing with life-altering epiphanies are always shot in stunning locations. And Hindi films dealing with the same, need a stunning cast as well. A possible rationale: beautiful places relieve stress and bring things into perspective. And beautiful people experiencing divine realizations can hold your perspective on the screen, often resulting in a 'ka-ching' sound at the box office. 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' (ZNMD) is one such film. In true 'Hangover' meets Vikas-Krishna-Barcelona spirit, the film deals with a bachelor adventure marinated with stories of finding, losing and forgetting love. Kabir (Abhay Deol), an affluent construction tycoon is about to take the marital plunge. But not before he completes a much-postponed trip with school buddies, investment banker (and constantly grumpy) Arjun (Hrithik Roshan) and freestyle flirt Imraan (Farhan Akhtar).

ZNMD takes you to the journey of life. There are very few movies which makes you feel good specially when it comes to Bollywood. ZNMD is a movie to get back your life, if you lost it somewhere in today's fast life. It takes you to silly and simple moments of your life. Bachelor Trip of 3 childhood friends, which becomes much more than just a bachelor trip. Witty and humorous dialogues makes it a funny ride. Awesome locations shot beautifully. Music and background score is beautiful. Poetry is beautiful. In short the movie is beautiful. Farhan is super talented. what a great actor he is. loved his performance. Hrithik and Abhay did great too. Katrina & Kalki too did justice with their roles respectively. Deep Sea Dive, Sky Diving, Tomatina Festival, Bull Race all these things made it an adventurous journey. Message of the movie is conveyed very beautifully. Live the life in your way! don't make it complicated. Search for your own happiness. Zindgi Na Milegi Dobara, so live the every moment of it. Live it as beautifully as u can. ZNMD is must must watch. I'll highly recommend this.

I have seen the film this morning and all the efforts put in are worth the movie. As expected, this is a good movie about grown up men and their emotional problems, which is naturally expected from the team that gave us Dil Chahta Hai and Rock On. A group of three friends (Hrithik, Abhay Deol and Farhan Akhtar) embark on a road trip in Spain as a part of a bachelor party for Abhay Deol, who is getting married to Kalki, and confused. Hritik and Farhan have their own personal issues too. The movie is a joy ride with subtle comedy. Farhan Akhtar's comic timing is impeccable. The comedy that was written just out of a ladies hand bag is too good. The wafer thin story line is beautifully put on screen with a superb screenplay. The performances are nothing less than your expectations with Hritik in the ensemble. Deepti Naval and Naseeruddin Shah add up to the list of artists. The movie portrays very heavy topics like marriage, love and Work. Yet, due to the sublime comedy you are never bored. I guess that is a mark of excellent script. Here is one line I want to pick up from this movie. Kalki says this line to Abhay Deol, her fiancé. "You enjoy your bachelor trip. Aakhir shaadi ke baad you wouldn't feel like going around with your friends any more." And you should see the expressions on the faces of the three guys... And yes, La Tomatina festival, Spainish beaches, and Katrina Kaif were a treat to watch.

lets first clarify that ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOBARA is NOT an updated version of DIL CHAHTA HAI nor its relate to DIL CHAHTA HAI. similarity between two films both films have tells the story about three friends but It's an untold/novel story. Kabir (Abhay Deol) has just met Natasha. 6 months later they are engaged. He wants to go on an extended bachelor party. A 3 week road trip with Imraan (Farhan Akhtar) and Arjun (Hrithik Roshan)- his 2 best friends since school. The only problem is Arjun is too tied up with work. After much emotional blackmail and cajoling the boys set off on a journey they were meant to take 4 years ago. A fantasy holiday they had planned to take after college but never happened. A road trip where each one gets to do the ultimate sport of his choice and the other 2 just have to do it with him. Whether they want to or not! Kabir Imraan and Arjun meet up in Barcelona and set off on an adventure that will not only make them iron out their differences but also face their fears, alter their perception, unravel their fabric, force them to break out of the box and teach them to seize the day. Watching ZNMD is like experiencing a tasteful journey it's wielded with technical fastidiousness I am tempted to some sport sequences that gave me goose bumps,Your heart is in your mouth in this particular sequence. director JOYA AKHTAR is far superior to a lot of well established film-makers in the business. I'd like to make a special mention of the spectacular cinematography novel script and dialogues marvelous background score Ditto for the sound design which is top notch. Performances of Hrithik, Farhan, Kat, Abhay & Kalki remain with you. specially HRITHIK give splendid performance. on the whole 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara'defies stereotype. Exquisitely shot. Wonderful moments. Bravura performances.

To each his own in my opinion. So I will not go on about how much I enjoy classic Bollywood movies that are full of bright colors, costumes, romance, jokes, catchy songs, beautiful outfits, family drama, heartbroken people, melodramatic situations, etc,etc! Because if you have watched this movie, you know it is certainly not any of that. Moreover it is a persuasive commercial of why we should all pack our bags, quit our jobs, look pretty and live off our dad's money, come to Spain every now and again, hook up with people because life is just all about sex, do reckless things like no tomorrow, and say man this is life, live it! Oh let's not forget, let us completely disregard our culture and roots, and act like we are all in middle school again fighting over past loves. But don't mind my lack of interest in a pathetic westernized imitation of "the life of the party." Now you can be not like me, you can hate sappy movies, and romantic classics like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Hum Ap Kai Hain Kaun, K3G, Vivah, etc., but how in the world is this supposed to be life-changing??? I am dumbfounded, honestly I cannot see as to what I am supposed to find moving in this movie! Now don't get me wrong, I was excited as the next to watch this movie, I convinced everyone to go to the theater to watch it. And there I am in a nice big theater with hopes that something interesting will happen. I am waiting for something funny, for something romantic (degrading make-out scenes don't count), something Bollywood to happen. But no, nothing, all I see is a nice appealing visual of Spain, and a very old-looking Hritik Roshan with a Katrina Kaif who looks happy to be back in her own territory where minimal Hindi/urdu is needed, and no Desi clothes whatsoever! Yayy!! So anyway I am getting so bored, so bored, that I am literally falling asleep now. And in all of this, I am still trying to catch what is so life-changing and inspirational about 3 confused desis, a useless Katrina, and some ransom chick from Spain, having fun, sex, make-out sessions, doing cool scary things (ohh they are such heroes)..like no one has ever done any of these things before! I can probably go on and on about how stupid, boring, undesi, and uninspirational this movie was. Not to mention, overrated. This creation of a lackluster script, lame chemistry, and no plot at all - won an IIFA. Disgusting, what has the world come to. Critics are way over their head in patheticness, failing to see that movies like these shame us, and make us truly like Hollywood copy cats! Disappointed. May Allah not let me see this kind of movie ever again. Complete waste of time and money, unless of course you're planning a visit to Spain though it's probably not as good as a travel channel special on Spain. Oh and don't think I am some old lady in a village in India who hates these type of idiotic films, I am a modern teenager growing up in the western side of the world just trying to maintain some decency and hold on to her roots! P.S. if you want to see life-changing see My Name is Khan, or heck just watch a romantic sober movie!

What a headache. In short, it consists of 3 people with personalities more dull than dead wood and a lady whose job it is to smile and strip for the camera. The director apparently thought building a cheap national geographic style tour of Spain with above mentioned cast stuffed with terrible manufactured drama and conflict will sell. I couldn't believe i spent 10 bucks on this bullshit. It was nothing more than 3 idiots prancing around Spain with unlimited back accounts. I am at a loss for words on how this movie got so hyped. Take my advice and give this 3 hour nonsense a miss.

Umm.. saw this movie yesterday. I had great hopes (I don't know why) for this film. And I went through a lot of trouble to get the tickets, due to the weekend. Sadly, I felt like walking out, after a coupla hours of this never-ending drivel. The plot is incongruous, the actors are wooden and there is no logical conclusion. The jaded 'friends' look as if they are in their mid-forties, not young professionals on a bachelors' 'road trip'. All three look just too old, to be horsing around the streets of Spain. And why Spain of all places? Perhaps the film has been sponsored by the Tourism Ministry of Spain? There are no answers, only conjectures. Hrithik looks middle-aged, heavy jowled, and full of attitude, as if he is aware of his 'star' status in the star-less cast. About Abhay, I just cannot appreciate his lugubrious-style of emoting, so I won't comment any further. Farhan is refreshing, although he is Farhan in every film he stars in. He cannot go beyond a certain style of emoting. The surprise is Kalki. Despite her non-conventional looks and buck teeth, she manages to dominate in the few frames she appears in. A deglamorised Katrina is utterly wasted, and so is another Spanish chick (Adriana?). Naseer looks his usual impressive self, the older he becomes, the better he gets. But he has no role worth the name. About the story, there is nothing of the sort. Kabir's practical jokes and the 'Bagmati' quips are done to death. Of course, the message goes that India is no fun. One should preferably select a location abroad for a 'road' trip. This premise is wholly understandable, though. The convoluted moral at the end of the film is: Have fun, but don't get into relationships. If possible, avoid marriage altogether. And strictly, no kids. Although I subscribe to a similar dogma myself, the way it is presented in the film won't have any new followers rushing to embrace the bohemian lifestyle. The MANTAL dialogue was genuinely amusing. But watching this film continuously and searching for a plot, might spoil the MANTAL equilibrium of some people. So carry a pinch of salt to the cinema hall, guys. Or maybe a tablet of alprax.
