Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

Today I watched a Hindi movie entitled Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. It starred Shah Rukh Khan and a new comer Anushka Sharma. Shah Rukh Khan is one of my fave actor. It is a story of a man who loved a girl the first time he laid eyes on her. Unfortunately she was to marry to someone else on the day he met her. As luck would have had it, the bus carrying her fiancee and his family was involved in an accident and no lives were spared.

In true Hindi style, the girl's father who is a Professor asked her to marry this man - his beloved student and she with a heavy heart agreed. Little did this man know that the girl of his dreams did not intend to ever love another person ever again.

The movie moves on with him loving her and she unknowingly. Till one day she decides to undertake in a dance exercise. He decides with the aid of his best friend to surprise her by changing his appearance. However as fate has it, she becomes his dance partner with none the wiser that he is her husband. The story enfolds with the two dance partners getting to know each other whilst the husband successfully maintaining his disguise.

The husband makes her fall in love with his alter ego and she is none the wiser. When she finds it in her heart to love - she thinks she is in love with her dance partner. Her husband hopes that she picks him over his alter ego but he is proven wrong.  His wife tells his alter ego that she is not happy. The husband in the role of his alter ego decides then and there that he would give himself up for her and cajoles her to run away with him, knowing in his heart that he no longer can be his real self any longer but his alter ego.

The movie ends in a way when the wife realizes that love is something pure that you feel that one will do anything for another and not because someone makes your heart skips a beat. The wife then decides to break off with her dance partner vouching never to leave her husband. The alter ego decides then to shed his image and reveals his true identity on the day of the dance competition. The movie ends with a happy ending.

I agree with the writer of this movie. You feel love when you feel peace and solace in that one person that you love. Put passion aside, the one you love must be someone whom your heart is most comfortable with.

I think that perhaps  have lost mine source of comfort simply because I could not trade in someone who misunderstands me more than people around me. In this, I maintain...  have not found my one true love yet. Love brings pain yes... but only if the person does not reciprocates your love else love brings JOY.

Rab Ne Bana Jodi is a sentence constructed from a mixture of Punjabi and Hindi. It simply means "A match made by God"
