The Brave Heart Will Take the Bride

Seeing The Brave Heart Will Take the Bride on India's Independence Day with those who see Shahrukh as their ideal hero was unforgettable... there was once a Kajol and she lived with her family in London much like the Kohout family under the despotic leadership of Hugo Haas in The Last Man (1934). Then the preparations for her wedding were hastened, and she talked her way into a month of travel in Europe before getting married in her parents' homeland. Then, her fate intertwined with the exuberant young Shahrukh Khan while traveling. She experienced everything with him, from boisterous Canadian pranks to her first encounter with the demon alcohol to being inspected by Swiss Police officers. After that, they were supposed to break up and go back to their lives, but that was impossible... Kajol and Shahrukh Khan reign intensely as a comedy duo of tourists bound for Zurich, but also as secret lovers at a traditional Punjabi wedding. Aditya Chopra has managed to create a fantastic combination of comedy, drama, family, and an action film all in one, where events don't stop for even a second and we are thrilled by everything new that comes our way. Luckily, we also get the clash of proud fathers Puri and Kher, and the incredible acting stud, today's macho celebrity Johar, contrasted by the cutest young lady, Pooja Ruparel. The music does not abound with clearly recognizable partial hits, but as a whole, it is very pleasant to listen to and the main melodic motif will burn itself into your heart. I certainly can't say that Kajol was being reciprocated or, on the contrary, that Puri's eyes were watering more than the situation demanded (and it demanded the maximum ;)). I've been in love with Kajol for a long time and my love is growing with every film. I'm still discovering Shahrukh Khan, but we already get along very well. There is a big difference between watching a film with a predetermined need for some sophisticated reflection, analysis, or enlightenment, rather than just being entertained by it, enjoying it, being drawn into it, and remembering why Bollywood makes you happy.

Romance on a grand scale. The first half of the movie is about how they fall in love with each other, the second half is about how they fight for their love. It is three hours long, but it doesn't matter at all. It is entertaining - Indians in Switzerland look surprisingly great - it is great in terms of choreography and actually, I was completely thrilled by the acting. I am starting to understand the love for Bollywood. (21/03/2016)
