Ru Ba Ru (2008)

 Ru Ba Ru (2008)

Director: Arjun Bali

Producer: Percept Pictures

Cast: Randeep Hooda (Nikhil), Shahana Goswami (Tara), Kulbhushan Kharbanda (Taxi Driver)

A thrilling but one-watch movie.

WARNING! THIS MOVIE IS NOT FOR KIDS.

Nikhil Singh is a rich, workaholic young man who lives in Thailand with his girlfriend, Tara Mishra. Nikhil works for a giant firm, as a head executive, while Tara is a happy, joyous, and carefree woman who is a professional actress. Nikhil is not good to Tara, and often forgets to do things for her. Tara once proposes to Nikhil, and asks to meet her parents to cement a marriage, but Nikhil shoves her aside and declines, saying he is happy how things are between them and he is preoccupied with his work. One day, after a presentation in Nikhil’s office, Nikhil sets out to go home, but later, he is reminded by his friends that Tara’s performance of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is scheduled for that evening. The taxi driver of the taxi that Nikhil uses suggests that Nikhil buys flowers for Tara to gift, and Nikhil agrees. Later that night, after dinner, Tara and Nikhil have an argument and Tara goes in a taxi all on her own, but a speeding car crashes into the taxi, leaving Tara dead. Nikhil cries hard, and he returns home and cries himself to sleep. The next day, Nikhil sees that Tara is alive and deduces he has been given a second chance to fix his mistakes. Want to know more? Watch the movie!

I thought this movie was just above average, kinda likable but also pretty cliché. Nikhil was depicted as TOO workaholic for his age, but the relationship was also decent. Act 2 of the film (Nikhil’s second chance) was better than the first, and it also made sense that Nikhil would not tell he had relived the day earlier, and the day before was the same. And, who was the taxi driver? A kind of omnipotent Eldritch god? Seems like it. There were flaws, but I’m too lazy to write them down.

I wholeheartedly recommend this movie because:

1.       The twist is great.

2.       The music is great.

3.       The character development is epic.

4.       The settings are beautiful.

5.       Overall, I think this movie’s just fine.

Oh my god, this movie is really a ride. Omkar Lele, or Ole, is a widower and single father who’s main aim is to live life at its fullest. Contrastingly, his son Aditya Lele, or Aale, is an extreme workaholic, constantly having calls, conferences, meetings, presentations, and having very little, if any time for himself and his family. How much ever Ole tries to get Aale to do anything, he never manages to do anything with him. One time, after Aale fails to appear for a dinner at home, Ole, in sadness, apparently flees the house. Confused, Aale and their house helper, Baburao, rush to the police station and ask everybody about Ole’s whereabouts. Turns out, Ole was always at home, simply hiding. It was all a ploy to get Aale to stay at home and cancel his meeting in Delhi. Du...
