Waiting for Godot...?






"I cannot explain my plays. Each must find out for himself what is meant." - Samuel Beckett
I borrow this line to describe 'Jaane tu ya jaane na'. It touches a cord deep within and leaves you smiling! It is no Dil Chahata Hai, no Rang De Basanti but its like an unexpectedly bright sunny morning after a cold winter night which leaves a smile on your face:) Perfect begening to a weekend!
You are a participant and a spectator at the same time. You are (almost) sure of the ending becase it seems 'filmy' for obvious reasons; and yet it isn't. It is meant to happen...like it can't be otherwise beacause then it would be unreal...How many of us are looking for Godot without knowing if he exists or if we would ever meet him...How few of us found love in understanding each other and understood each other through that love...
On a lighter note, a movie definitely worth watching...view it till the end and you would forget the ordeal you have to go through in the first half where our protagonists are learning to act. Their effort, however, is rewarded as they come out with flying colurs in the second half.
