Very apt title for the movie which explains how life doesn't give you a second chance.
I watched this movie yesterday but would not want to talk about the flick but I would like to write about the two characters portrayed in the movie.
Arjun & Laila . Arjun being played by Hrithik Roshan and Laila , symbolic to that name acted by Katrina Kaif.
Arjun , a successful financial broker works in London and money is his only dream . He wants to earn a lot & retire by 40 , until then work is his world & nothing else is appreciated including love. His side of the argument is that Money spins everything in this world. He only sees a tiny part of what life is all about , even though his personal life is falling apart , yet he doesn't seem to understand why it is happening to him.
Laila , on the other hand follows what she likes in her life , which in this case being diving . She follows what her instinct tells her & is happy with what she does.
The movie portrays these two characters as their way of looking at life are two parallels until one particular scene when Laila asks Arjun, what does he want in life? Arjun replies money. I want more money and retire at 40 .
Laila thinks for a split second and asks him , what is the guarantee that you"ll live until 40? Arjun clearly doesn't have any answer and is submissive in this discussion. Laila goes on to say that every breath is a gift and enjoy this moment. Do not loose this moment to catch something else later as there is no guarantee that a later moment will arrive and if it does arrive whether or not you'll be alive to reap the reward of the moment.
This has been ringing in my ears since last night. These two characters in the movie isn't fictitious , there are number of people in real life who have similar issue.
In fact most of us do. We probably do not understand what our lives priorities are. Most often than not we get carried away by the materialistic pleasures such as owning a villa, a car , high end laptop, LED TV & chase money as if our life solely depends on it.
Given my finite experience of life , i can see Arjuns argument but would like to dive deeper into Laila's justification of life . Am still thinking how do we balance our life . Should life to be lived on the basis of what we aspire or what we need or guided by our gut instinct?
I have no clear answer yet , neither am i sure to find that out any time soon.
These two characters have made me think life from a very different angle.
Am going to keep the thought process going. Until then if you can think and open up the discussion , you are more than welcome to do so.
