'Zindagi na milegi dobara' says all that it has to say in its title, actually. It is easy on the senses, pleasing bodies, virgin landscapes, attractive cars, lots of good food and liquor, seven star luxury. Lots of white, lots of green. Sky diving, Scuba diving. Penetrate the sea, penetrate the air. DCH style triplet, urban humour, a delectable Katrina Kaif who comes across as absolutely at home in Europe, and lots of tasteful style. So, what is the problem? Yes, there is love which can always turn itself into a problem. But then, it is garnished with nice little psychological blocks for each of the 'heroes'. Psychology? Perfect!
Apart from all the pop-ideology about living as if there is no tomorrow, there are two very interesting moments: one, where the psychology spoof the film is playing on you is ridiculed by the mention of 'Dr. Fraud'; two, where DD days are mocked at by calling the DD tune depressing. The former is entertaining but is conflicted by the progression of the story, but the latter is curious because I wonder anyone who actually lived the days of DD introducing films on television found the tune depressing then. To me, it is a nice quiz about how a washed-brain can do reverse-nostalgia on the past, but I am not sure. Of course like 'Ladies vs Ricky Behl', nobody does the maths for you. The only problems we have are psychological blockages. Go to Spain, then Morocco, then London; change plans; buy diamonds; drink the best; learn to live. I am reminded of Sandeep Sharma, and that unforgettable journey. But few know about that and I am in no mood for telling.
As I said the title says it all. Pleasing on the eye, nonetheless. And if you care to relax, it will give your brain a nice soothing massage.
