Shah Rukh Khan\u2019s mustachioed and guileless Surinder Sahni walked into our lives with an effervescent Anushka Sharma\u2019s Taani partner in tow \u2013 giving us an unassuming take on \u201can extraordinary love story in every ordinary jodi\u201d.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I vividly remember going to watch <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RNBDJ<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the day it released. Back then, I was a devoted <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/modern-family\/shah-rukh-khan-birthday-fan-mannat-suhana-khan\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SRK<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> fan. Even in 2019 \u2013 a time when the changing landscape of Bollywood has deemed King Khan almost irrelevant \u2013 some part of me is still stuck in that phase. Although, his charm and my unadulterated love for him remains largely unblemished, it is now tempered by expectations of quality on screen and a generous dose of resignation. I consider <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RNBDJ<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as a sort of a personal landmark because it marked the zenith of my love for SRK. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The film had a strange timing: It went head-on against <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/thugs-of-hindostan-review-aamir-khan-amitabh-bachchan\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aamir Khan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ghajini<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a gore- and estrogen-soaked take on love that set the template for Bollywood minting money off South Indian adaptations. Yet the over-hyped Khan vs Khan battle was pointless. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RNBDJ<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was too quiet, too underplayed, and too saccharine for its own good.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RNBDJ<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> also has a distracting legacy: It continues to be remembered (and mocked) the most for SRK\u2019s mustache and the general audacity of a filmmaker expecting the audience to buy that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/series\/fitoor-mishra\/happy-birthday-shahrukh-khan-srk-52nd-birthday-karan-johar-suhana-khan-mannat\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">King Khan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> could play a middle-class Everyman. And that a woman would be unable to recognise her husband pranking her with a double role only because one version didn\u2019t have a moustache. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this meme-worthy premise, the essence of one of the most beautiful depiction of love somewhere went unnoticed. With <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RNBDJ<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Chopra cleverly depicted the problems plaguing Yash Raj\u2019s idea of the larger-than-life romance&#8230; while exploiting the exact same <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/dum-laga-ke-haisha-ayushmann-khuranna-bhumi-pednekar\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yash Raj<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tropes. A vivacious young woman has to choose between a boring yet safe man and a man who makes her feel alive. It hinged on the eternal passion vs stability debate that has haunted every other Bollywood love story from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/manmarziyaan-review-vicky-kaushal-anurag-kashyap-tapsee-pannu-abhishek-bachchan\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manmarziyaan<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But there was something different about <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RNBDJ<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It strayed from Yash Raj convention and yet it didn\u2019t. In the film, Taani didn\u2019t have to choose between two men; instead she had to decide whether she actually wanted to be with the person she had married. It didn\u2019t offer the larger-than-life hero \u2013 obviously called \u201cRaj\u201d \u2013 a straightaway triumph, but it also followed tradition by giving the \u201csafe bet\u201d (the Ajay Devgns and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/inside-abhishek-bachchans-phone\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abhishek Bachchans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) a chance at redemption. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RNBDJ<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> came with a catch: It was never about making the passionate hero win but about locating the passion inside the Everyman. In doing so, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RNBDJ<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was one of those rare films that kept the old-world ideas of love alive while juxtaposing it with modern values.<\/span>\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>This brilliant reversal of tropes infused RNBDJ with a rare pathos: It strived to reset and redefine how Bollywood made us understand love and its interplay between the two genders. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the film, Surinder Sahni isn\u2019t just an ordinary man \u2013 he is an ordinary man in love. And because it was SRK, Suri\u2019s ordinariness posed no hindrance in embodying a love that is essentially larger-than-life.\u00a0Yet the film focused on revelling in Suri being a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/feminism-update-me-too-nuance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">feminist<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> delight. He silently destroyed every love story and wokeness clich\u00e9, including the one that implies that feminism is an urban trait and the one that believes that feminism will ruin romance. And Suri\u2019s single-minded, borderline insane pursuit of trying to alleviate and share his wife\u2019s unexpressed pain is a take on romance that is as profound as it is invigorating. A romance that would be a dream for anyone, whether feminist or not. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the film, Taani is a flawed woman struggling with her pain, refusing to be helped, and demanding to be understood. In other words, she is the textbook definition of a typical tortured hero from every <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/love-and-sex\/relationships-dating-advice-love-romance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">romantic story<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ever. Except for the part where she is a woman. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suri\u2019s moustache-less \u201chep\u201d alter-ego Raj becomes what has always been the role of a manic pixie girl in conventional romantic stories \u2013 the catalyst who is fun, kind, and completely unburdened by the baggage of a backstory. The one who becomes instrumental in triggering a profound transformation in the life of the angsty protagonist.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This brilliant reversal of tropes infused <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RNBDJ<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with a rare pathos: It strived to reset and redefine how <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/despite-bollywood-influences-i-am-raising-two-feminist-sons-heres-how-to-do-it\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bollywood<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> made us understand love and its interplay between the two genders. In affording Taani her flaws and giving her the space to deal with them without any burdens of gender-related expectations, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RNBDJ<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> makes Taani a relatable heroine at every level. Her pain is real, but so is her realisation of her husband\u2019s love; none of which feels forced, artificial, or burdened by false morality.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, Suri\u2019s ordinariness is overshadowed by the extraordinary depths of his <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/love-and-sex\/what-is-love-relationship-long-distance-breakup\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">love<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 the kind that is not based on the loud male ideas of ownership but the quiet foundation of acceptance, understanding, and agency. He is a man who does not judge his wife for wanting to be with another man (even when the other man is him). Instead he is allowed to interpret it as his own failing, accepting that maybe his love can\u2019t be enough; he prioritises her happiness by willing to let go of her. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In one of the rarest instances in the history of Hindi cinema, a hero acknowledges the fact that sometimes the test of love is not holding on, but letting go. That alone should make <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RNBDJ<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> one of the greatest love stories of our times \u2013 one that recognised the need for feminism much before Bollywood\u2019s feminist awakening.<\/span>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, which turns 11 today, is often mocked for its simplistic premise.
