Creative Insanity: A Day Worth It

Some memories are so special, that they make you smile even when you remember them way after they were created.

Some days are so special, that you just know you’re gonna store it in your memory forever.

And some movies are so special, that while watching them, you feel like someone is depicting your whole life story on screen.

Today, 6^th June 2013, was one such day.

Three best friends, one awesome day and one great movie.

The trailers of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani had made it pretty clear that the story is going to be simple; but I had a strong faith in it. Why? Because it marked the comeback of the awesome Ranbir Kapoor-Ayan Mukherjee duo; the duo that had won mine and millions of hearts with Wake Up Sid.

This was the first time in six years that I wasn’t watching the first day show of an RK movie, and trust me, it was pure torture! But then again, I had promised my two besties that I would watch it with them, and what are good memories if not made together, right? So I endured this torture for six whole days and finally smiled when the morning of 6^th June arrived. I couldn’t stop grinning. It was almost like Ranbir Kapoor himself was coming to watch his own movie with me. *wish wish*

The story of YJHD, like I said, is simple. It’s about a vivacious, life-loving guy named Kabir Thapar (Ranbir Kapoor, called Bunny by his friends) and a geeky, mellow girl named Naina Talwar (Deepika Padukone) and Bunny’s friends, Aditi (Kalki Koechlin) and Avi (Aditya Roy Kapoor). Ranbir Kapoor proved it once again why he’s considered the next big thing of Bollywood. I mean, c’mon! He’s abso-frikkin-lutely charming and breathtakingly awesome! <3 Deepika Padukone officially impressed me this time by actually acting well. And Ayan Mukherjee, with the genius mind of his, once again managed to tell a plain story in a beautiful way. :’) Pritam’s music lingers all around you and the dialogues remind you of the conversations you have with your friends. (Brownie points to the movie for mentioning Harry Potter xD)

Bunny and Naina’s story is way too special to be revealed, so I won’t say anything about it because I want everyone to go watch it themselves in order to feel it’s magic. The journey of love, of friendship, of joy, of tears, will just touch your heart, making you feel that ache in your chest. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry and you’ll leave with a smile. So, don’t waste time and go watch it NOW!
