A perfect all-in-one to watch[ Movie review]

In the recent times due to the Covid-19 situation, all most all of us have faced a challenge other than the virus, yes, you guessed it. It’s the boredom. We might have all the facilities of entertainment but there are just too many options. You open Netflix or any other app and you see thousands of options. This just makes it more confusing to decide what to watch. I am here to help you fight that boredom. I have the perfect movie for all of you, no matter what age you are. You can enjoy it. Read on…..

The movie I am going to tell all of you about is from Bollywood. It is called ‘Zindagi na milegi dobara’ It means, ‘you won’t get this life back again’. The reason I have called this movie an ‘all-in-one’ as it is a mix of genres. There is drama, comedy, thrill, adventure, friendship and romance. It appeals to children as well as adults.

What is it about?

The movie ‘Zindagi na milegi dobara’ is about three lifelong friends- Arjun, Kabir and Imran who have been together since school and decided to go on a bachelor’s trip to Spain as one of them is getting married. The exiting and humorous incidences of their boys trip is put aptly in the movie and the landscapes and scenery shown in the movie are absolutely breathtaking. They face their fears, fight their problems and grudges, they mend fences and heal wounds. They learn to look at life with a fresh perspective. The movie teaches us a new way to live life, to live in the present and living everyday as if it’s your last.

The review

This movie has no melodrama, no dragging of emotional scenes. It does not seem dull and boring for a second. It’s a movie you can watch with your friends, family or by yourself. You will have a smile on your face throughout. It’s as fresh as it gets. Now, let’s look at the different elements in this movie.

The music

Music is an important part of any movie as it amplifies the emotions of a person. Music provides us with cues about how we are supposed to feel during the movie. A powerful score and the music help capture the audience’s emotions and inspire them. When we talk about the music of this movie, it fits appropriately with the movie and the narrative. The lyrics have a deep meaning to them which makes this movie pure and inspiring.

The Filming locations.

The movie is shot in Spain. The places and the scenery taken in the movie are appropriate as far as the plot is concerned. It is very important to set a good scene for the movie. A bad scene would repel viewers. As far as the filming locations are concerned, they are an absolute treat to the eyes but they also do not take away the spotlight from the characters and the plot.

The casting

The casting is done in the movie very smartly and appropriately. There are many movies where the actors just do not fit in the roles. Each and every actor fits correctly into his or her roles and the roles are played well.

The Theme.

The movie has a fresh and positive theme of living life to the fullest. It’s about facing their fears, forgiveness and living in the present. The theme is portrayed in the movie very creatively through the relatable problems faced by the actors.

This is all for the review. But, we should know more about the creative mind who made this movie a reality.
