Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi ( Hindi,2008)

Film - Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi( RNBDJ)
Director - Adithya Chopra
Starring - Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma, Vinay Pathak
Music - Salim-Sulaiman

The story is about a simple man, Surinder (SRK), who happened to marry his teacher’s glamorous daughter, Taani ( Anushka Sharma) by accident. The efforts made by him to earn his wife’s love and the advice by his friend (Vinay Pathak) forced him to come up with a modern playboy character, Raj. Raj went on to become the dancing partner of his wife. Finally when Raj succeeded in earning her love, the film turns serious as Suri painfully realizes, he needs to be in the role of Raj for the rest of his life.

The serious part of the film is the dilemma between the self (which is the natural part) and the alter ego who wishes to play the modern and playboy style to win a woman’s heart. Finally the love for the lady wins when the person gets ready to sell his self to accept the made up role.

SRK is good in both the roles- of the shy Suri and also the flamboyant, Raj. Raj is his usual role which his critics always criticize of playing the same type. Raj is his typical repetitive style. This will definitely please his fans who want to see his usual style, mannerism and acting abilities. But Suri’s role is a difference and hence can be considered as a challenge to SRK. Nothing has to be mentioned about his dancing prowess. Anushka tries hard to compliment her jodi.

Vinay Pathak has done justice to his role of SRK’s child hood friend and adviser.

Back ground score is excellent. The opening song Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta Hai is sobre & moody. This is the only song which lingers in our mind. The old remix of several songs where SRK played the roles of earlier heroes is also interesting.


I don’t think this will be a super hit like Aditya Chopra’s earlier film Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge. But I am sure that this may please South Indians who like realistic films. The story of Rab Ne has that magical touch.
