The Jab
Harry met Sejal trailer is out and this is what we thought!
As an avid
follower of indian cinema, one only has to say ‘Imitiaz Ali’ and I am sold. But
pair, the direction of Imitiaz with the acting of Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka
Sharma and you get an experience such as Jab Harry met Sejal.
The trailer
introduces Harry (Shah Rukh Khan), a some what frustrated punjabi tour guide.
It seems like he is unsatisfied with his life and has given up the desire of
anything better than his present. Sejal (Anushka Sharma) is a little harder to
describe. She’s an oddly funny, loud yet attractive gujarati character. Having
lost her engagement ring, she drags along a very reluctant Harry to help her
find it. Together they start a journey of many adventures, with the aim to find
the ring, but, as portrayed by Imitiaz, I believe they both will find something
much deeper that is lost inside both of them.
Where
Imitiaz has already won the battle, is that in the matter of less than 3
minutes, he has made us build a connection with both characters. As an
audience, I laughed at Harry’s paradoxical and desperate statements to get out
of helping Sejal, smiled at the cute moments shared between the characters and
related directly to the rawness and realness of Sejal’s imperfections.
I can’t
help but think of Imitiaz Ali’s Jab We Met however - little bit of a crazily
unique, but totally entertaining and lovable girl loses her way and forces a
not so interested guy to help her. The over all vibe of the story is seems very
similar. If the movie is anything like Jab We Met, I am so super ready to watch
this movie.
Imitiaz
illustrates a some what deep concept in a fun, light hearted and relatable way.
The songs are energetic, the cinematography seems wonderful, but what makes me
want to watch this movie is the characters and their story.
The movie
releases on the 4th of August, and I can not wait!
