A very inappropriate dialogue from the movie by a friend of mine prompted me to watch the movie. Don’t think too hard the dialogue was just, “tu andaar se jitna haraami hai teri shakaal utni hi shareef hai…” he he …. Moreover, like every girly girl, I don’t need a push to watch romantic movies. I had just not got around to watching this one…. I guess like everyone in the movie I too was trying to grow up.
I think this post will go into the movie review section, so let me put in a brief review. The movie is good and will go right alongside Kuch kuch hota hai, Love Aaj Kal, Tum Bin, Jane Tu Ya Jane Na, Sweet Home Alabama, Notting Hill, Love Actually, A lot Like Love, Bridget Jones Diary and the rest in my collection. As you can already guess, I have a huge collection.
Well the movie is about four friends with very different personalities who want different things in life and who grow up to be different people. Some achieve their dreams, some fail and some change their dreams. The screen time may vary but all the four actors Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Kalki Koechlin and Aditya Roy Kapur have portrayed their characters in an excellent manner. Very good acting by all. The movie is mast with cool partake. I can’t call it witty but it’s good and engaging. Songs are not that great except may be two of them.
One dialogue from the movie got me thinking. “Jitna bhi try karo bunny life mein kuch na kuch to choote ga hi bunny..to jahan hain.. waheen ka mazaa lete hain.”
I was a late bloomer. Did nothing at school except studying and reading novels. No masti, no party no trips with friends. It was a simple life of a middle class family with strict parents. So when I went to college and later when I was in a job and on my own, I tried to do all the things that I had missed out on. Spring theory I guess. I tried hard to make friends, shop like crazy, did a lot of masti, lived my teenage dream and other crazy things. I tried to run faster than time to make up for the time I had lost in my teenage years. I was always worried that there are so many things left to do in so less time and soon I will be too old to have fun. I tried to live it all up just to avoid living with regret and still regretted it being too late and there being too less time. I was avoiding growing up. I was scared. So as I struggled to live my dreams in the short time that was always racing by, I lost out on having fun, enjoying the moment, and living in present. Its ironic how by trying to live all my dreams, I did not live them at all, most of the time. I was never satisfied and all the more hungry and remorseful.
I am now beginning to live in present and guess what!!.. It’s not so bad. I am still a little scared but then again my favorite dialogue says it all. “Darr Ke Aage Jeet hai.” I am now happy about the things I have done, friends I have had, people I have shared my life with, mastiful moments that I have enjoyed and the fun that I have had. My list is still not complete, but I have learnt not to run against time. I am learning to live in present and to enjoy life as it comes. And fun things happen in present too. I was upset earlier because I had never been to a disc with friends (we had a lot of fun, loads of singing, dancing and late night parties, but never really got around to going to a disc. But, I few days back I went to a disc with Amit and it was so much and more than I had thought it would be. It was more because I was there with someone I could trust and did not have to worry about anything, be myself and dance to my heart’s content. Cherry on top of the cake was that he does not even like dancing but still came to the dance floor on his own, to be with me. It was AWESOME. It happened when I was not busy checking items off my list. It happened when I was living in the moment and I had a blast.
So when I heard Naina saying to Bunny, “Jitna bhi try karo bunny life mein kuch na kuch to choote ga hi bunny..to jahan hain.. waheen ka mazaa lete hain.” That while trying to do everything you want, being everywhere you want to be.... there still will be some things left undone, some boxes left unchecked… as you can’t be everywhere at once and do everything in this moment….so, why not do what you are doing and enjoy the moment and live it completely.
I guess when you finally begin to live your life, live your dreams, instead of just dreaming or chasing them, you have begun to grow up. Like Bunny I also wanted to fly, to run and to make my own mistakes, to live my dreams, to do everything I want in this short life that is left. And like Bunny I am also beginning to realize that life has to be prioritized at times, to share it with someone, so that you can live fully. It’s just a part of growing up!
