Director: Zoya Akhtar, Actors: Farhan Akhtar, Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol, Katrina Kaif
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara(Znmd) is the archetypal Hindi film, which is precisely why it becomes extremely predictable and mildly entertaining. At a time when filmmakers dealing with the lives of youth are coming up with brash, bold and realistic works to woo the audience, Znmd is a bit too dated to excite and too humdrum to engage.
For example, our boys in Znmd play the same word game to reveal each other’s woes which Rahul and Anjali played in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, more than a decade ago. It can be easily said that the film is hinged on its star cast; it’s not a bad deal to watch when the trio of boys one is talking about is a formidable one—the irresistible combination of charm, intelligence and wit in Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol.
