zindagi na milegi dobara songs According to Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, life's like a Bollywood film with song, dance and adventure. You can just drop everything, pack your bags and go to Switzerland… scratch that, Spain, with buddies for a three-week, five-star holiday with everything from the tourist brochure thrown in. Zoya Akhtar's second outing as a director is way more filmi than her first about the film industry. This one only pretends to be real. It's not. You get Katrina Kaif drenched in tomato pulp at the La Tomatina festival when she's not holding you by the hand and teaching you scuba diving. If this is not fantasy, what is? And like most fantasies, ZNMD employs standard archetypes to spell out the moral of the story, which is also the title of the film.
What's interesting, however, is how writers Reema Kagti and Zoya Akhtar have borrowed three simple rules for life from adventure sports on land, water and air. 1. Make every breath count, dive into the beautiful expanse of life — Scuba diving. 2. Let go, free-fall and embrace the feeling of powerlessness — Sky-diving. 3. “I get knocked down but I get up again and you nay ever gonna keep me down” — Running with the bulls. And these life lessons are all about facing your fears/issues that the three archetypes deal with. Calculative materialistic Arjun (Hrithik plays him like a robotic stereotype) has no time for friends or his girlfriends, impulsive artist Imran (though Farhan Akhtar works best when he's brooding) on the other end of the spectrum masks his serious Daddy issues with humour and confused happy-go-lucky Kabir (Abhay Deol, his “mantally sick” accent and timing saving his girly dialogue delivery), the peace-making glue that holds the trio together, finds himself in a rather awkward situation after rushing into an unplanned engagement.
