16.08.2006

classes were cancelled for tt day but i still had to go down to school to promote my council's bash. at 11am, clad in an artist's costume, i was parading ard the sim canteen, distributing fliers with my fellow council-mates who were dressed as nurses, stewardess, pilot, chef, char siew seller, phua chu kang, loanshark, ah-beng, tennis player, badminton player and every other occupation u can think of. it doesn't take a genuis to figure out what the theme for the bash is - yep, it's occupation. last year was 'nerdational day' and boy, was it a huge success. this year's is held in zouk and unfortunately, i will not be able to go for it since mum had bought tickets for the 'rythym kollywood' concert, the very same day. nevertheless, i am sure the council's gonna make the bash a blast. good luck, you guys!

and after that, i had a movie date with vicky. yep, the ever famous karan johar's kabhi alvida naa kehna'. i was really looking forward to catching that movie and it had me all hyped up and ready. 'KANK' is a practical, forbidden, inevitable love story set in the ever-mesmerizing new york city. love has no boundaries, limits... or does it? as the movie suggests, what if there comes a love that broke all other relationships? can there be? what if married man falls in love with a already married woman? what if they realised that their previous relationship was never meant to be in the first place but realised it too late? then what happens? do you step back and let ur true love walk away, or do you follow the path your heart takes you to?

the movie starred amazing actors and actresses like shah rukh kahn, rani mukherjee, preity zinta, abishek batchaan and the everfamous amitabh batchaan. shah rukh plays a soccer player who was waiting to sign a 5 million dollar contract, and was at the peak of his career. he was married to his collegemate, preity and they had a son. preity is a rather career-minded, modern, independent woman.

rani was married to abishek, her childhood buddy. they led a normal, happy life but one which lacked passion. they do not have kids as rani can't conceive.

shahrukh meets rani at her wedding, when she was having the jitters about the whole thing. she tells him that she loves her fiance, but not in the way she was supposed to. she asks sharukh, what if she finds her true love after she's married. what happens, then? shahrukh simply advices her to get married. as he leaves the place, he meets with an accident which leaves him partially crippled. this destroys his soccer career and leaves him to becoming a house-husband while preity assumes the role of the 'man' in the house.

4 years pass and the two of them meet again. rani and shah rukh. they both find out that both their marriages were not a bed-of-roses and was at the verge of failing. they then, decided to help each other out to help save their marriages and a series of attempts to strengthen the marriage takes place. but in the event, things take a turn and they realise they're in love with one another. they try to discard the feelings, to walk away and stop all form of contact but fail. the affair continues while things at home, at both sides becomes worse. issues with the spouses keeps escalating and this only made the affair stronger, to the extent where physical intimacy was considered.

after a lot of drama (all of which were logical and very reasonable), they finally decide to part and give their marriages a second chance. obviously their spouses didn't take the truth very well. it led to the final breakdown of both marriages. shah rukh, leaves his home to stay elsewhere. rani, leaves new york and settles down in another state. 3 years later, abishek meets rani and they talk. all's been forgiven and forgotten and abishek was getting married to someone else. he wanted rani to be his bridesmaid, for he had no family. she was all he had. she agreed.

at the wedding, preity happened to be there. both preity and rani, had a confrontation for the first time but it ended well with preity telling rani to go and find shahrukh, and lead their lives for they had separated a long time ago. both abishek and preity, help her to find her true love. and they lived happily ever after. this, is the summarized version of the story.

but i, on the other hand was not at all pleased with the end. after all, i am a conservative, indian girl. i do not condone cheating. never.ever. period. and whoever said that you can cheat your wive and husband and still get what you want and live without any form of regret and guilt. that does not happen in real life and with people like me ard, it'll never happen. i understood why both rani and shahrukh fell out of their marriages and the reasons as to why they had the affair. after all, god did give us that one thing that even he can't control -our heart. the feelings that come together with it. but still, cheating? no way.

but people, why do i say it's the best film ever? why do i beg you to watch it, even my non-indian friends? simply because the issues they bring out in the movie, WILL at one point or another relate to you, your life and your relationship. it will let you understand a lot of things in a different light. it will make you re-think abt alot of your tightly held principles. you need to know the reasons why each of the couples' marriage failed. you need to know what made the two fall in love with one another, seek solace in one another. what drove them to the arms of another man and woman.

the actors were amazing. rani is gorgeous. she made me wanna wear sari all day-long. only she can carry it, that well. shah rukh, was needless to say. he's a gifted actor. amitabh batchan is a natural. i thought this was one of abishek's best. and preity, she was so in character. great movie, great actors.great songs, great cinematography. everything about the movie was a thumbs up. but of course if you're thinking of watching it, don't forget to being a packet of tissue along. you will definitely need it.

and vicky, thanks for being there to wipe my tears away when i needed you. thank you for lending me your shoulders to cry on. literally.

-kabhi alvida naa kehna (never say goodbye) -

p/s: for my non-indian friends who want to catch it, you can get the tickets at GV Yishun, GV Tampines, GV Bishan and GV Jurong Point. i'd really recommend you to watch it, if you're the open to all new things type of person. you won't regret it, i promise.
