once in a while and you come upon a movie that define your value and show you the true depth of human emotion leave you drain . vivah be just that maybe more . after watch ddlj and saajan and and lamhey and i really think that bollywood have reach it pinnacle and will never come up with anything like that ever . boy be i wrong . i go to the store to buy some grocery and decide to pick this movie up along with the new don ( just so i can compare the great ab with shahrukh although the decision be already make in my mind ) . after debate whether i should waste almost 3 hour on a meaningless movie i decide to watch it realize i have nothing else to do . when i saw the rating of u instead of an a and i be happy that at least it be something where i do not have to watch scantily clad woman with bad act skill do nothing but dance on every opportunity they get and make out with every guy to show that they have more skill in bed than a hollywood b actress . for the first 5 minute or so i thought i would again be subject to meaningless story with bad act . after all everyone who have see shahid kapor know that he a never gain his fame a an accomplished actor . boy be i wrong about this movie . this movie grab my interest after the first 5 minute and would never let it go . it be a great movie with a good storyline about the vanish tradition of our society . i like not only that the director be brave enough to make a movie where young generation might not relate to the concept ( of arrange marriage ) and but also that he do it with a conviction ( that it be the right thing to do ) . i have no idea why some people think that the acting be not good . i felt that the acting be great and even though the music score might not be consider the best ever and it be still very very good . the good thing be this music will grow on people with time like it do with me after the i watch that movie a second time . the other good thing be that thee song be not push into the script a we have all see in so many movie . these song actually tell a big part of the story and be certainly a welcome addition . just like ajay devgan go from be a joke to a great actor ( after company ) and and salman find his groove after hum aapkey hain kaun while this movie will help shahid kappor jump to be of the good actor and entertainer in bollywood . this be the first movie of his in which i like him and his role . he act well and adjust to be the nice good look young rich kid . yes you will not find him play basketball and score every point on a dunk like you saw shahrukh in ddlj ( even though he be show to be an indian in england both country not big on basketball by the way ) and he do come across a very believable a a person who hold true to his value . amrita rao and for the first time come across a someone to be remember . in all her other movie she be compete with big face which be actually hinder her . no one know how good of an actress she really be until they watch this movie . some of the scene in which she have to cry especially towards the end really show her knowledge and depth of act . although she have be in another movie she be most memorable in this one . i think this movie will and should do wonder for her . move over rani there be finally another girl who if give a decent chance to work with good director can grab the torch from you . she be beautiful with a great voice and have a face that exude complete innocence . oh have almost 0 % body fat do not hurt either ( yes people i will challenge you find even 0 . 1 % fat on her and unlike so many others like sonali she can actually act too ) . i think i will never be enamor by anyone beauty after madhuri and early kajol and but she completely change that . shahid and amrita work very well together and their relationship fit their character and they both do an excellent job ( although i be wait for shahid to turn into a girl like salman do every time he utter hum aapkey hain kaun ) . when i finish watch this movie and it leave me so emotionally drain that i decide to watch this movie again ( right away ) . yes right away . i have never ever do that . not even with ddlj and but this movie just have something that have to be understood again and again . i will probably watch this movie a third time over the weekend just so i can watch and relive the tradition we all grow up with . i miss those time where family sit down and have fun . when parent have time for their kid and where kid respect what their parent believe in . i know a lot of people think that movie do not portray real life but deep down do not we all want it to happen . the family and thee tradition and the love and respect . this be what this movie will remind all of u of . i can assure you it be an extremely well make movie which you will enjoy . i be sure some young people will not like this movie but if you be over 28 i doubt that you will be one of them .
