Ok so today I want to discuss about a movie hailed as bad in different era 2010 jab tak hai jaan

Now jthj isn't some masterpiece or cult classic hailed ahead of its time but a product very much of its time. It's songs are banger though

The film begins with a poem loses itself in amnesia plot but ends with a bittersweet note of being the very last movie of yash chopra

Each character is very distinguishable Akira, meera and samar all behave very much according to their character even though the plot throws multiple curve balls and plot holes ahead their way

Now you may think this is one of those nostalgia baits posts but let me tell you there is no nostalgia involved as I watched this movie for very first time in 2021 and re-watched it now

Maybe I like it because this movie has a soul which is very much missing in modern day romcoms

Be it sunny sankari ki tulsi Kumari, cocktail 2 or tmmtmttmmm all having a very same style cinematography the conflict being two girls one boy or some rehashed 2000s Hollywood romcom subplot about commitment or very moody broody alpha hero

Cocktail 2 plot is literally a girl telling her supposedly friend to try and test her fiance to see if he has a good character and he being this sakt Londa denying advances of literally her friend and delivery of some monologue as it is mandatory requirement of luv ranjan

It's almost like they have forgotten how to blend indian roots with foreign picturesque locations. The locations are there but the connotations have become very modern almost dispering indian roots

Its almost like they are a parody of 2000s Hollywood romcoms

Yes once in a blue moon we get gems like main wapus Aaunga but that isnt enough for the amount of garbage dump we receive

TLDR: JTHJ may be dated and flawed, but its old-school romantic sincerity and soul gives it a personality that modern formulaic romances often lack.

They have literally tagged ‪RepublicBharat‬​ ,aajtak‬ in their video description. I am surprised this video is still available I was thinking of downloading the video incase they strike it down as it is likely

Believe it or not dhadkan was actually an adaptation of wuthering heights this really tore the landmass underneath my foot. "Mere pairo tale zameen kisak gai"

As I thought it is the normal poor boy returning rich trope didn't know it adapted from the mother of that trope itself as someone who read this book dev and heathercliff are poles apart

West side story is the classic spin on romeo juliet but a little unknown remake was Josh. Really made sense that srk was part of it owing to his theatrical roots

The sooryavansham of zee cinema judaai is an official remake of the 1994 Telugu hit film Subhalagnam but the movie itself is a gender reversed version of original indecent proposal
