Zindagi..


The thing about get-away/adventure genre movies is that they trigger that thought in you - to jump right up, pack your bags and just go on that trip you always wanted to. So does the movie Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. With an introspective title and a festive trailor, one can easily guess what the movie is about.

But as most movies of this genre are, it is the journey that matters, not the climax towards the end. Not letting one down, the movie takes us through a pleasant ride woven around three friends who set out on an adventure trip far off in the picturesque lands of Spain. Punctuated by tiffs of the past, fresh experiences of the current and thoughts about the future, the three friends go through a roller-coaster ride of emotions with each of the adventures they try, and in the process, learn to let go of their fears - both inside the head and outside.

At the end, they emerge victorious having conquered their apprehensions and realizing their priorities, which I guess is the point to take back from the movie, that once you let go of your worst fears, you emerge as a new person with lots of optimism, a fresh and dynamic outlook. After all, its just one life!
