Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani: Friendship is Eternal, Love Changes
Since the movie closes with a scene on New Year's Eve, it has become my go-to movie for the holiday. From the moment I first watched it, it has made me happy, and even today, on gloomy days with a lot of snow outside, it comforts me. Indeed, I enjoy a low-key celebration, and the companions in this movie create just the right amount of ambience to make the day when the clock strikes twelve and another year goes by unforgettable.
In brief:
When Naina sees Aditi, an old friend from school, in the past, she finds out that she and her pals are going on a mountain hike. Naina makes the snap choice to join the expedition as well, not realizing that it will permanently alter her. Eight years later, old acquaintances reunite, and a wedding is scheduled for the near future.
Somehow, since he came up with the concept for Brahmastra, Ayan Mukherji's skill at writing women has decreased. Once upon a time, there was a certain assurance in the way he penned them, and they stood on par with the movie heroes, not merely relegated to the heroine role but endowed with fully realised personalities and nuance.
While it occasionally employs clichés, the movie is nonetheless a competent entertainment with plenty of commercial flair. It's also a great movie to watch if you're interested in Bollywood or Hindi cinema because it includes everything a family entertainer should have—dance, romance, and songs.
The film is a passable entertainment piece with a lot of commercial flare, despite the fact that it uses clichés from time to time. For those who enjoy Bollywood or Hindi cinema, this film is highly recommended as it has all the elements of a family-friendly film, such as romance, dancing, and musical numbers.
The Artist, the Dreamer, the Alcoholic and Gambler, and the Nerd. The movie examines these clichés, demonstrating how things evolve over time and how, although we may have known some individuals to be of certain kinds in the past, they are actually complex individuals with a darker side.
Deepika Padukone plays the nerdy medical student Naina Talwar, a woman on a quest who yearns for more out of life. She embodies the archetypal "gorgeous woman wearing adorable clothes and glasses." It follows her path from being an introverted person to a contented heroine who gradually breaks out of her shell. She is quiet and reserved in the first part of the story and confident as hell in the second, yet she still harbors the insecurities of a bashful young woman. She incorporates these commonplace facts into the fantastical world we are viewing, making her world seem believable.
Kabir "Bunny" Thapar, played by Ranbir Kapoor, is endearing and fantastic. He presents that dreamer from the upper middle class who doesn't have to consider his privilege too carefully on television. His dance prowess is on full display here as well. Even though I have very mixed feelings about Ranbir because of his recent work, which leans dangerously towards misogyny, I can always watch this movie again since I find him to be a charming character.
He just takes up the area he needs on screen because there are three other characters with their own arcs, so he doesn't overtake the frame. The screenplay ensures that he has enough room to play both the charmer and the quiet moments of focus while still keeping the other characters in the movie front and centre.
In her role as the artistic and rebellious Aditi "Adi" Mehra, Kalki Koechlin is simply amazing on screen. She brilliantly portrays how she fantasises about love while feigning strength. We recognize Aditya Roy Kapur as Avinash "Avi" Shiv Arora as the friend who consistently gets into trouble and has a dark side because we want to help him get on their feet but are unable to do so.
The late Farooq Shaikh, who plays Bunny's father, is a supporting character who gives a beautiful and moving performance. He uses so little to accomplish so much. Evelyn Sharma plays the incredibly naive and flirtatious adversary of Naina, Lara. She does a great job at bringing humor. In the second part of the film, Kunaal Roy Kapur, who plays a delightful character, also infuses the films with such amazing comedy.
All things considered, this is a decent rom-com and an enjoyable movie to see again for some nostalgia. Bollywood encompasses all one could ever wish and much more. There's something so endearing about it that someone will always identify with one of the characters. The songs are catchy and endearing. That truly is a modern classic!
Celebrating 43 years of #ChashmeBuddoor (08/05/1981), a classic romantic comedy about friendship and love, starring Farooq Shaikh, Deepti Naval, Rakesh Bedi, Ravi Baswani, and Saeed Jaffrey. Directed by Sai Paranjpye and produced by Gul Anand and Jayshree Anand — Makhija, this film captures the essence of youth and camaraderie.
The story revolves around three Delhi University students—Siddharth, Omi, and Jai—who stay in the city during their summer vacation. Their routine life takes a turn with the arrival of Neha, a charming young woman.
After directing the poignant drama "Sparsh," Sai Paranjpye switched gears dramatically to craft "Chashme Buddoor," a lighthearted comedy that explores male friendship with witty and sharp insights, avoiding clichéd slapstick humor.
The film shines with its realistic dialogue and natural interactions, especially in scenes like when Siddharth, trying to play it cool, offers Neha a ride, only to admit he'd been waiting for her. Neha, far from a typical damsel, reveals she hoped he would appear. This genuine exchange underscores their mutual attraction and understanding.
Another memorable moment is when Neha demonstrates a detergent’s effectiveness by washing a towel, which Siddharth sheepishly admits was already clean. The simplicity and honesty of their interactions make "Chashme Buddoor" feel as refreshing as a sudden rain shower.
The film also features a delightful proposal scene where Siddharth's nervousness meets Neha's playful challenge, showing the depth of their bond and the light-hearted nature of their relationship.
"Chashme Buddoor" remains a beloved example of how humor and heart can create a timeless story about the joys and surprises of everyday life.

Shaikh Hammaad al-Ansaaree's encounter with Maududi
__________________________
I visited Maududi (Abul-A’laa Al-Maududi) along with some brothers during the course of his stay in Riyadh and he was in the hotel ‘bat-haa’ so we entered upon him and he was praying the ‘Asr prayer, so I began observing his prayer. So when he finished I said to him:
‘This prayer of yours needs reviewing, for you do not raise your hands, nor do you relax (be at ease) and other than that’
So he said: ‘I am Hanafee in Madhhab’.
So I said to him: ‘this is more overwhelming than the first; since it is impermissible for you to say that, and you are above such a statement. We had come to think from your writings that you are a free-thinker[1], but it has become apparent to us that you are a constricted thinker.’ Then I said to him: ‘indeed Imaam Aboo Haneefah is the one that you blindly follow; yet who are the ones that Imaam Aboo Haneefah blindly followed?’
He remained silent, and Allaah's Aid is sought.
