So, I think it was done very much knowingly by Aditya Chopra. But there were many more which show this transformation of expression of Suri to Raj just by putting on goggles.

However, there are two scenes in the movie where Suri did behave like Raj even without goggles on. In the scene where Taaniji gives Suri a glass of Haldi milk, he tries to behave like Raj, but can’t. So Suri created an imaginary, filmy kind of world for himself with those shades and hence was acted so differently and over the top. See the change of expressions on his face with and without goggles. These following images trace the Suri to Raj transition in the film. How did Suri actually feel and act like Raj? I think it was because of the colored goggles he put on, he saw the world differently and entered an imagined film with the glasses on. One of the remarkable things which I noticed in the film is the transformation of Suri to Raj. Maybe Aditya Chopra did it to show the movement of ideology of the characters in the film. The camera moves most of the time in the film, rather than being a still. Also watch the movement of camera in this film. But the film demanded that character of Raj. The presence of Shah Rukh Khan and the character Raj makes people think that the film had over the top characters. And Aditya Chopra deserves applause for handling it so well. There are only three of them so it needed a slow progress. It isn’t a film with overloaded characters. It isn’t a very commercial film which is loaded with editing effects and all. The long takes allowed the movie to move softly and sweetly.
The film had fairly long takes which also is unlike many Bollywood films. Taaniji, on the other hand starts enjoying herself with Raj, who does everything to cheer her up. Things doesn’t simplify as Suri himself complicates it by playing a game to know whether Taaniji loves Raj or Suri. On one side she finds Raj, who is very charming and loves her so much, and on other side she is bound by that marriage. Thus we follow a story, which is guided by Suri himself, but Taaniji soon becomes entangled in it. But with Raj we have entered that territory, haven’t we? After all Raj is a filmy character introduced into the ordinary life of Suri and Taaniji. He used filmy dialogs too.īut Suri, while making that character to entertain Taaniji, never knew he was creating the villain or a love triangle in the film, very much like other romantic films. And hence Suri modeled himself to look like those filmy characters and Bobby. So the entire point of Raj was to make Taaniji enjoy her life. Because Suri saw Taaniji enjoy seeing those kinds of jungli characters in movies. But I don’t think that was a problem at all. Many people have problem with the fact that in the film this Raj is a very jungli kind of character and didn’t suit the story at all. Though Suri loves Taaniji, Taaniji still hasn’t accepted Suri as her husband and therefore to win the love of Taaniji, Suri goes through a makeover and circumstances force him to give birth to a new identity ‘Raj’ who is the dance partner of Taaniji and Suri as Raj tries to make Taaniji enjoy her life and give her all the love he can. So with this different start, the film already looked extraordinary to me. That clearly indicates that coincidences are bound to happen in the film as God is writing the love story of these two people. In the back story quickly narrated by our leading actor, we are introduced to the names of the actors Surinder Sahni (Suri) and Taaniji (Anushka Sharma), and told their marriage was a matter of coincidence that was planned by Rab (God). Both seem not very excited with their marriage. What we see to our surprise is Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma as a newly married couple, get off a train and go to their home. We don’t see split screen and freeze frames and slow motion or any song introducing the two main characters in the film. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, however, unlike these usual romantic films, starts on a very serious note. Tarun Mansukhani’s Dharma produced Dostana is one such example. And this is where most of the films lose their charm. The second half, on the other hand, gets serious where we mostly see that the lead actors have fallen in love with each other and they try to resolve matters like family problems, a love triangle, a villainous rival and other such things, so that they can live happily ever after.
They have a set pattern, in which the first half goes about introducing characters that joke around to successfully generate a light atmosphere. We all are aware of how Yash Raj, and for that matter Karan Johar and many other filmmakers, approach their romantic stories in films.
“Creating the polar opposites in Suri and Raj” One year after the first promo of Rab ne Bana Di Jodi was released, and on Shah Rukh Khan’s birthday, I have the good fortune to present an exclusive piece written by a fellow blogger and friend, VirtuallyReel! Enjoy!
