Jab we met

We all love watching classic movies as it is nostalgic and reminds us of a different style of movie creation. Today I re watched a 2007 released rom-com titled as "Jab we met". This movie stars Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor. I would like to highlight glimpses of my observation. 

Firstly, this movie is a typical romance movie where the hero is depressed because of love failure and decides to end his life, that's when the heroine comes as an angel to save him. Even though the plot was predictable and obvious I still sat and saw with the same enthusiasm. The title itself is a combination of two languages Hindi and English which directly gives away an important part of the plot.

Secondly, the plot does not drag much but there were some emotional scene that did not impact me but made me feel as just a mere observer. The plot mostly revolves around travel and the idea of seeing life in a positive mode. We also find that even a person who has a positive view on life  might face circumstances that could suppress them. This segment is portrayed through the character named Geet. 

Thirdly, we see various themes that is discussed in the movie. We see how a person battles with inner conflict and the societal expectations. We also find self discovery that happens through the journey and how the life he experienced during the journey transformed his life. The choices made by an individual keeps them accountable till the very end. Even a wrong choice can be changed.

Finally, the music in the movie reminded me of the days when I sat in front of the radio to listen to these old songs. I almost forgot the lyrics of the songs but all the they still are beautiful. This movie is melodious not only because of the music but also due to the places that have been highlighted providing an aesthetic appeal.
