Rab Ne Bana Dil Jodi

The story begins with Surinder played by Shah Rukh Khan who is a simpleton but completely changes at the sight of Taani played by Anushka Sharma, who is just reverse of him . She is flamboyant and vivacious. But both fall a prey to circumstances and come together. However, Surinder changes into Raj by undergoing a personality change. This is a flaw ; how come Anushka didn't find out that it's her husband?

Two, Shah Rukh keeps doing so till the end. Luckily, there comes a change when Anushka is ready to elope with Raj, her dance partner. This is excellent. Anyway, the director and the storywriter are at fault . The movie runs longer than needed and that too when the audience looks for shorter duration. The music by Salim-Sulaiman is good at places. Haule Haule is an excellent composition and Dance Pe Chance is good for foot tapping. However, the other tracks are average. Ravi Chandran's cinematography is perfect.

Actingwise, Shah Rukh is superb. Anushka looks like her character even though she is a new face and gels well with ace actor like SRK. Vinay Pathak lends support throughout the movie. The present generation may appreciate the movie. So, the movie is likely to fare well at multiplexes and not so well at others. Luckily, there is no competitor in the field as it's the only release. The fate of the film, according to the actor, is in the hands of God. "Aditya and I feel that God has made this film. We think rab will take care of it and the people who go to watch it. We just want them to smile in this time of depression

Though this is for the third time that Shah Rukh Khan is sporting a moustache after 'Army' and 'Paheli', he is receiving a mixed response for his 'ordinary man with moustache' look in 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi'. Most of his fans say, "Shah Rukh definitely looks good without a moustache. He looks so good when he is clean-shaven." However, his producer Chopra considers moustaches and looks a very secondary consideration in judging an actor's capability.

The film is releasing simultaneously in over 30 countries and over 1200 screens across India today ( December 12th). This includes both analog prints as well as digital cinemas. The producer of Yash Raj Films has decided to postpone the release to a future date, it is reliably learnt. "'Rab Ne Bana De Jodi' is not releasing in Pakistan as the production house has decided that it is not appropriate time to release the film there," the Yash Raj Films official adds, "The final decision to release the film would be decided in due course of time. Shah Rukh Khan is very popular in Pakistan and this move to postpone the release will definitely hit our business," the source further adds.
