First of all, it brings an instant smile on my face to see the leading lady's name first in the credits. A 4 years old tradition which I don't even know if others follow or not, given that Shah Rukh's films are pretty much the only films I watch from start to finish...it's remarkable and I hope this tradition continues to exist.
Coming to the film itself, you know when a movie speaks to you? It seemed like JHMS spoke to me. It's like the movie came alive. It had a soul and an amazing one, while at it. It is a kind of film which you want to watch alone because you want to soak in that simplicity amidst sheer madness and confusion. I think if I had to describe what JHMS is then let me try to put it this way: if films were people, JHMS would be the kind of stranger whom you bump into and exchange life stories with. You feel a little lighter. You start to retrospect. Or you start to believe in a better future.
One thing that I noticed in most of Imtiaz Ali's films is that his main leads are always lost and confused. As I expected from the trailer and the song Safar, Harry is lost and confused as well. So is Sejal. They both didn't set out to achieve something great in life. But what they achieve is for you to watch the film for.
Let me tell you, your heart will be wounded. It is because he is obnoxiously hot and you will relate to him to the point where you just want to hug him for a very long time. There is plenty of SRK-Anu to swoon over as well and their pairing is as excellent as a bottle of wine aged for 9 years. There are some things which never fail and this particular pairing is one of them. It is pure perfection. You can put them in any kind of story and these two will completely own it.
My favorite songs include Beech Beech Mein and Hawayein before watching the film and post watching the film as well. The rest are good too but because the full album basically came out a few hours before the release day, it may take some time for me to like the other songs.
Ah, the last SRK release of 2017.....sigh.
