YJHD - November 21st.

 So really tired with the things going around, I am turning to my comfort movie. It has started to feel like I am only watching this now to not break the custom. Anyway, Got my pizza, Got my monster. Let's hop on another breakdown of YJHD.

God if I was a movie reviewer I would be slammed so bad for only reviewing YJHD so so so many times......LOL

I just noticed, it's so hard for me to focus on one thing at a time, constantly thinking about other things.

Kabir thapar......Giggles obviously.

The first half..... manali....is all the innocence I had as a youngster.

Yarrrrr... I know Naina is going to realize this aage jaake, when Bunny tells her. But even at the first sceen, where her mom mentions, "topper hai naina, medicine kar rahi hai". It has been presented to us in such a wrong way. I always thought being scholarly is bad, being naina is bad. This reminds me of a character breakdown video I saw of FRIENDS, where they did exact same thing with Ross.

Ok so see this is something I cherish, trip with Friends. Adding it to wishlist, getting out with friends on a trip.

Ab destiny kaho ya plot.... Naina ko wo pamphlet milna was something.

First Scene we see bunny, no flashy entry, just casual plain, But his charm, aura is different dude. That kind of glow which you get when you are doing something you like. I just haven't figured out yet, what work brings me happiness, joy and most importantly that glow!

See public speaking, it's not speaking something smart, or brilliant - it's just being besharam and speaking it. People are gonna like it or not!

And ranbir is not the best dancer, nor has the best clothes. But nobody cares coz of his dead ass confidence.

At one point in the song, he just witnesses. It's a really small detail for a mili second, but the look on his face. It's always glowing, even if he is just slightly smiling.

I don't know why, but I think naina's mother is quite cute, "Jawaan ladkiyan zyada enjoy karti hain, to pregnant ho jaati hai". I mean we just saw her in sitaare zameen par, her comic timing with amir khan, Felt it was one of the best ones in the entire movie. Naina is just being saduu. I know why, coz I have been there, still am but utna nahi ab shayad. She thinks she has to excel, she takes all that pressure on her, nobody is pressuring her as much as she is pressuring herself. 

I feel there parents, they don't understand what to do either. I had the same conversation with my mummi, during JEE. Bechari ko koi idea nahi tha how to deal with this situation. I hope I would know what to say to my kids, when they tell me because of you we don't have a personal life. 

Oh my god, my dad is just like him. I just wish he was always like this - I would have been a different person. Maybe rebel hona hi acha hai kahi.

I would love to see a part 2, where bunny is the baap now!!!  See him realize all the mistakes he made, all the harsh words he said as a child, coming back at him from his kids. I really wanna see this happening in the future. A good sequel instead of the bogus ones we get all the time.

Oh my god, that's literally me. Looking at event pictures, details and be like yay, I am definately going. But somehow I manage to never go! Maybe things will start to happen if I actually go sometime.

Avinash is also a very intersting character in himself. He does mistakes. That is his age to do them. But in the course of the film, we just never see him get matured. On the other hand, bunny is just bunny, strong firm, does what he wants to do anyway!

You know, people have told me you are too blunt and you should have a filter, if you are just innocent, might get off things!

Stay hard dude, first time don't be cheap. Naina ke saamne bunny is so hard!

Exactly that moment, when you stand and think, jaun nahi jaun. Bunny tha to she went. Otherwise.... she would have stayed at home, nothing would have happened, no movie.

Make your movie. Go out!!!!

Yahi sawaal - maine pehle kabhi nahi kiya hai, to koi baat nahi ab kar!!! This thing literally happened with me today. A guy asked me to play uno. I said I have never played it and just didn't sed.

Also bunny aur aditi ka mast hai yaar - plutonic!!

So cheeeesy!!! Appy pila ke happy. Ayan mukherjee I tell you!

Bunny how do you do this man - Like me kabhi aatoo rikshaaaaw me ni baithi. SOBO South delihite chutiya. All that for sex, like come on dude!

You better than this. iykwim!!!

Yaar even I don't know what to do, jab aap nayi cheez try kar rahe ho and you see you suck at it. How do you manage to still keep doing it bruh!!!!

Well it's been a while maine brainrot hindi dekhi ho movie. Chase adventure, just movie masal moment. 

Tumhari jaisi ladkiyan ishq ke liye bani hai. I don't if he was just trying to manipulate her of he actually meant it but was just too scared to admit. Now as I see this, after having seen brooklyn 99(jake), himy(barney) I know there are guys who are too immature to embrace what they are really feeling. It's probably my story too!

Khud pe daya karna band karo aur khudse pyaar karna sekho! Tum jaise ho bilkul theek thaak ho!

Okay is that love? Someone being nice to you? Obviously you will have a special place for them but we did not get any mention how they both end up together forever? Coz bunny is great but he won't settle, he has it's own cons. And naina is perfect but she fell in love and will lose herself again for bunny, which she does later!

But for now let's just enjoy the music!! Even if you know how something is going to end, it doesn't mean you still can't enjoy the ride.

Yaar felt bad for aditi, she should have told avi. Idiot Avi, ruined two love lives to begin. But if you think about it, they are both failed relationships at the end. Yeah bunny and naina's relationship is not failing[it will!]

Actually, I would have loved if the movie kept doing these stupid things. I guess we just want to watch those things in movies which we don't have in real. First half now!

See, there is so much depth in Avi's character, we feel you bro! It feels betrayed by your best friend. Obviously jealousy, FOMO, pachtava everything hits, and you don't know what to say. May it be abhiraj ki job lagna, gf milna, himanshu ka relationship start hona. I felt bad, betrayed, jabki I should have been happy for my friends. Also it's not bunny's fault either, everyone deserves to be happy, getting that scholarship was way too important for bunny and avi would just slow him down. I feel bunny must have tried to uplift his friend, like himanshu trying to fix me with parvesh or giving tips for socializing. But like avi, like me, gir ke hi samajh me aata hai.

See this is the thing I adore about ayan mukherjee. His characters are so grounded and real, we all see ourselves in them. They make mistakes, even the protagonist is not perfect at all. But they learn from it. Naina is turning her life around, aditi is sturggling right now with love but eventually she too finds her soulmate and bunny welll he abandons the one thing he took very seriously and was his purpose. Avi learns to not depend on his friends when he refuses to take money from bunny. I guess at the end the only character who remains flawed is bunny. And we will see why he does this.

Okay if I start rant, I will probably keep ranting. This reminds me of Jim form The Office, how he was ambitious and left everything to be with pam, we understand that he needed to be with the love of his life, but ultimately pam understands and let Jim do his thing, I would have appreciated Naina doing this for bunny, or Bunny making the ultimate sacrifice. 

At the end of the day, it's what the audience wants to see. It is obviously not a series with more details on characters, more events, plots. They did with how much time they had and to gain profit.

This one line defines every guy who steps outside to study. I don't how this movie and my life are connected, but it somehow runs parrallel. Bunny like any international student is scared, He knows he will be alone there, and here(in India, in Jabalpur), it feels good, But, that's why we have to go. Comfort Zone se nikalna zaruri hai.

I am just going to make this one promise to myself, everyday, did I step out of my comfort zone, did something, just a small thing, which I didn't want to do, but did anyway. Like talk to that somone, Took out garbage, cleaned, took a shower when I absolutely didn't wanted to, went to the class when I was feeling afraid and embarassed. 

I think the movie and my life, is starting now!

The comparison - The scene started with "is raat ki kabhi subha nahi honi chahiye" and ends with "Subha ho gayi!"

I love how smartly creators put that in there thoughts.

You know we are happy for naina, I felt bad for aditi, but not naina. Maybe I never thought them to be together. But I love how naina is holding herself strong.

So basically, 8 years later, bunny never grew up!!! And ilahi signifies that, the beats, reckless traveller. Trust me I feel the same crossing streets in Toronto. And I haven't found people who share this thought. 

You know when you see this side of bunny. I know he does stupid things, risking his life taking pictures, or just leaving his job with no plan, I still feel he holds a much deeper philoshophical knowledge. Like I wonder what he thinks when he is alone, he chose that life, never looked back, being there in a foreign country, it's not always happy and good vibes, sometimes it's just lonely and hard. When he looks at the cemetry, he is definately thinking about life, his days remaining, following his dream, to have courage to not go back. 

There are also a lot of moments in ilahi, where he is just sitting and thinking. Like in Tamasha, when ved sits on that rock and just thinks. Maybe he is not thinking anything, being quite, being calm, like he says "Watcha lookin at Kabir? Waqt ko Guzerte!!" 

Ab bhi cliche de raha hai!! "Kahi se pahunchne ke liye kahi se nikalna bahut zaruri hota hai!"

Dude now I totally get kaisa lagta hai, Ayush me we don't talk that much, ek din agar pata chalta hai that he is marrying, it'll be like a shock. Anyway I have got plans kya karna hai uske wedding pe (Sush!!! for now)

And we found our Charles Boyle here, "Taran naam hai uska, Thoda off hai wo!". I feel and it's a very wild thought. I feel charles boyle type of people are actually very bold. They have the courage to do what they like, be themselves, if people like it or if they don't. Coz society mocks charles for doing cliches for love and same society praises or says Aww it's so romantic, when Ted Mosby does it. So I don't know what works around here!

On a side note, perfect casting for charles Boyle Indian version. 

And, I will do a Bunny entry. I repeat I need to do a Bunny entry before I die! Again Bunny, entry,  before, I , die!

I wonder yeh movie maine is saal pehle kyu nahi dekhi! Bruh!! Should I make it my khana time movie?

I really loved a detail about pani, "Thanda hai yaar" about bunny's commitment issue.

Well That's racist but, Dev is gujjju. I have seen gujju like dev at my gas station for real. Mai tumhe like dhund raha tha like har jagah. Chutiye. 

I wonder, itna hi simple hota hai kya. I guess yeah. Abhiraj aur meri cold war, we just talked one day suddenly and it's all sorted. Himanshu aur mera bhi chalta rehta hai but I guess sahi ho jayega. Just need to talk.

How can we forget, Dharma movie hai. Sooraj hua madham, bole chudiyan Yeahhhh!

Yeah email reply kar raha hai Tarun, bunny ko. Thanks for coming, shukriya and stuff, which we all do. Taran is actually the most normal person. I take back, yeh charles boyle nahi hai yaha ka.

Fun Fact: Taran and Avi are actual brothers, and Vidya Balan(actress in OOLa la) is there sister - in law.

Yaar I feel dilli wali gf utna change nahi laa paya cultural. I mean I know when it came out, they used to put this song a lot, but now it's just uhmm! lost. Badtameez dil, ilahi overshadowed this one! Still better than what bollywood makes now!

I saw deleted scene, right after dilli wali gf, there is a scene with naina's mom in it. Dude I really needed more of her in the movie! Such a cute character!

I think I understand a little bit about bunny's character, trying to sound like a professional decoder. So Bunny has solid FOMO, he wants to live everything, do everything his way. But he doesn't know that there is another way to life. Not trying to run, setlling down sometime. 

Btw in this, they both get a glimpse of each other's life! Beautifully put!

 "Kitna bhi try karo bunny life me kuch na kuch to chutega hi!" - I always thought they meant, either this or that. But it also means, you could only achieve this much of something. You will and should aim for higher and higher, but you only can achieve so much. At some point just accept what you have got and smile, be happy about it. 

Bunny has been running his entire life, I don't think he ever got time to think or introspect. Which most of us do, not thinking. Hustle till you reach destination, but what about safar.

The way he hides this inside of him. I know it's always going to break him, that he was not there when his father died. A fear which everyone who lives away from home has. Not able to talk to our parents, before.... I just don't want to talk about it!

Yarr, again saying it Avi's character is really complex. On the outside it feel like he is just broken, has a lot of addictions, has no hope. But I feel he tried, he obviously didn't get support from his dad, so assuming he didn't get much when he was young either. He had a friend, who abandoned him when he needed him the most. Now all he has is some hope to fix his life, but feels too hard and too late to do now! I really empathize with him. Although I do feel! He could turn his life around!

You know I finally get this scene, where Avi refuses to take money from bunny. I think he realized, it is a loop. He had money in the past, from investors, but he was reckless(like I said, every character is flawed) and he lost all of it. Again, he could take money, the easy option out but that won't change anything. Understanding this and moving forward is the only thing helping him! And maybe that completes his arc.

"Kuch logo ke saath sirf waqt bitane se sab kuch sahi ho jata hai!"- There is another meaning to it. Bunny just realized, not fancy places, new experiences, sometimes just spending time with people, being there, fixes things.

Okayyy so why would Naina not introduce Vikram as her boyfriend? I don't understand women tbh. IS she into Bunny? Is she just saying that coz she knows bunny won't be able to handle it. I feel it's first one, she has feelings for bunny! Coz she doesn't even knew bunny liked her. Okayy I have got way too much into chemistry. Remind you I am not watching high school romance.

WTF dude, I mean yeah bunny is a bit toxic!! Like the way he is asking her! As if it's her fault to go out with Vikram. Bro she was allowed to do that. But not introducing him as his boyfriend, maybe she wanted to keep it private. I guess!

Okay so she definately is seeing Vikram, lying he is not her boyfriend. But it's only been a while. probably after bunny showed up. She started seeing him, coz she doesn't want to get involved with bunny. I know sounds bogus, but this is what the writer wants us to believe.

I think aditi knows, Bunny feels off. She is used to bunny being insensitive, but he is actully feeling love now.

You know what I love the next scene with his father, and if the story ended there I would have loved it. Not bunny meeting Naina, that's just not happening bruh!

Looking at your old self, holding a ticket. Everytime I wait in the lobby, I think of this scene. Every year how things change, things that used to excite me before don't now, how priorities change. Each year I am evolving into a new person and this movie is the milestone. I am cheesy inside I guess, a lot cheezy. But that's alright, khud se pyaar karna seekh!

I want bunny to cherish his relationship with his mother in the sequel if ever made!

Okay coming up the father scene. It's papa's birthday btw! And I have been watching this scene at airport, when I came back in September.

You know this scene is beautiful, but it defines bunny's character in a completly different lense. We thought throughout the movie that he was always insensitive, I think the writer made us believe it. But now if we look closely, he was ready to give up his everything for his dad. He is just an innocent character, is, was.

Finally, he cries. All the burden he was taking on his shoulders, very bravely btw. It reminds me of the last night I was in Jabalpur. Ekku chala gaya tha shivir me, I wanted him to go, do things his way, whatever he likes. But I was also very sad. That was the moment I was most emotionaly vulnerable, kept on saying sorry to mummi. Had that thing burdened on me for a while! Sometimes it feels good to cry out!

Okay Something which I misunderstood before - Bunny did not meet Naina on the day he left. In the final act, the movie basically says Your dreams include whatever your heart says. Coz bunny left the job, to be with Naina. I don't what I would have done! But I don't think it breaks bunny's character in the end. If you see it as following dreams are nothing but following your heart, then you will see that bunny always did that. He did what he believed in and what his heart said.

Ek minute WTF! When she asks about commitment, he didn't reply, he didn't commit even after giving the ring. And he has the audacity to ask her to live his dream. I mean what about her clinic, or her parents, or her idea of living a simple life. 

Then let's see what bullshit explanation he gives - "Bittate waqt hai, par kharch hum hote hain" - Bro she lives with her parents, gives ample time to them, has good relationship with friends and family, which you abandoned years ago aur tu usko gyaan de raha hai? 

Bhai I don't know really if the writer wanted to go with this ending but dude, they dumbed down Naina so much in that one scene, what about her living life on her terms, that glowup in the wedding, she said she chose to live a simple life. Like WTF!
