Independence Day The breakup ... Pain inspires poets to write sad poems. There are so many sad breakup songs in the movies. Why am I so happy?
And immediately you get the answer: Samir was tired of his friend Shikha as a sour mango. He “likes” to listen to her complaints, constantly report where and with whom he is, to endure tyranny and its habits, so “likes” that even howling. But the guy does not waste time on this, especially since fate itself seems to smile at him and presents a gift for five years of suffering: she leaves, and the charming Sanjana gets a job in his office. “I will miss you. I don't know how to survive these two weeks without you. In such cases, Americans use a special gesture, the so-called “quotes”. It will be 15 Independence Days, a festival of disorder, parties, a triumph of freedom.
However, it soon becomes clear that Samir does not need complete freedom (or is he already weaned from it?); he just wants a break, and Sanjana just keeps the leash too loose. It remains only for the unfortunate hero to figure out what he really needs.
The triangle is a traditional format in which Himeshu Reshammiya is nevertheless comfortable uttering lines. Perhaps, he was inspired by the filming in the film “Radio DJ”, since the stories in the two films are similar in principle, but in the arrangement of the characters and, therefore, the message that is conveyed to the viewer, they are opposite. There is an ex-wife with whom they “did not agree in views”, and a ridiculous girl who is difficult to take seriously at first. Here is a former tyrant friend, and probably a future wife - understanding and not limiting in her personal space. Before such a choice in the cinema Samir was not the first and not the last. At the same time, the former had their own reasons for such behavior, and circumstances push for a new one. And you can see it more than once. I hope that in one of his next projects, an outstanding composer will play in a triangle, where he will, for a change, say, share a favorite with a friend. But “Love is out” (Himesh knocked it out, or what?) stands out among fellow genrers and at least gives no reason to hate yourself.
And at best, it can even fall in love thanks to two hours of sunlight (predominantly shooting outside during the day or in brightly lit rooms), albeit predictable, but rather dynamically presented material, the cast of actors, following Himesh Resammiya who migrated here from the aforementioned “Radio”: Rajesh Khattar and Sonal Segal, who this time competed on the screen with Purbi Joshi. Songs also play an important role: we, with critics and audiences, believe that Umraojaan and the intoxicated port Madhushala were especially successful, and we do not get tired of watching and listening to it. I will add from myself: in vain no one singles out Aaja Ve - the composition is beautiful. And, rarely, the remix on it is almost more beautiful than the original.
In general, the film is not without sparkling moments - in the scene of recognition of love and forgiveness for past mistakes, despite all the playfulness, an innovative approach is demonstrated, and the awareness of guilt is accompanied by reproaches of conscience and tender memories. The ringtone at the most “opportune” moments is what can be called fun.
No touching, no touching! No kissing, no kissing! Only seeing, only seeing! I recommend watching as a cute, funny movie about love with the label “don’t touch hands!”.
