Let me touch upon the overall Review of the Movie First. There was lot of expectation
from Rab Ne Banadi Jodi, but movie seems AVERAGE. I don’t convince with the fact that
ordinary people are so ordinary that they live too simple life. They don’t talk or express
their feelings much. Take reference of Dasvidaniya or Rab ne Banadi Jodi and check the
personality portrayed of an Ordinary Man. I don’t see the possibility of survival for such
people on this highly competitive and uncertain global environment.
Music was Average and Dancing Sequences were good, Thanks to the magic touch of
Shamak Daver and his awesome choreography. The Character of Shahrukh is oscillating
like a pendulum between ‘being TOO Simple’ and ‘Being Too Weird’. The emotions are
typical Yash Raj's and Karan Johar’s Trademark Emotion as they shown in DDLJ, Mohabbatein
and K3G. Apart from all these critics, this movie has touched on one of the most critical
CHANGE.
and important LEARNING that can be described in one world – Bringing CHANGE
It’s very important to understand the
story in nutshell before we explore
the learning from it.
Mr. Suri (Shahrukh) an ordinary man
is working in a Power Company,
Punjab Power. He went to attend a
marriage function where accidently
he happened to get married with a
modern and bubbly girl Tania.
Marriage was a result of mishap in the
life of Tania and it was a compromise.
Tania Admitted Mr. Suri that she
won’t be able to love him. To get her
love back and make her happy, Mr.
Suri changed himself to Mr. Raj who is
of course a modern, stylish and a flirt.
Tania started liking Raj but she did not
know that Mr. Raj and Mr. Suri are
same.
We must be the Change, We Wish to See in the World
Mahatma Gandhi

July 31, 1883, Mahatma Gandhi was thrown out of First Class Compartment. He was shattered with the behavior of
British Officers. He took the mission of throwing out Britishers from the Nation. But to turn this change into reality
he had bring this change to himself first. The logic is true for Rab Ne Banadi Jodi too. Mr. Suri (Shahrukh) wanted
to bring change in Tania’s Life. He wants Tania to be happy. To bring that change, he became the part of the
change first. He changed the way he looked. As Mr. Suri he was typical ordinary man but as Mr. Raj he brings the
image of today’s youth.
Most changes are rejected at first level and resisted by many. The
process of brining change is always gradual. You must have
patience and perseverance. No revolution is a result of One day’s
Process. You can found this message in one of the song of Rab Ne
Banadi Jodi – Haule Haule se Dua Lagti Hai…. Tu Sabar to Kar To
Kar Mere Yaar…. Listen this song carefully and think on its lyrics.
you listen this song
Let’s imagine that you have a water tank with a capacity of 1000 Liters. You have been given a task of changing the
color of water to BLUE. You have one limitation. You can only put 2 drops of Blue Dye per Day. The first day when
you put 2 drops of Blue Dye in 1000 Liter Water Tank, You won’t see significant change in color of Water. Though
the change is not visible, you can take sample of that water and see the changes in electron microscope. You carry
this exercise for another 2-3 days, but you won’t be able to see any significant change. You may think of three
option – 1) You presume that dye is not working because you don’t see the result. You may wish to change the DYE
(Choosing another alternative) OR 2) Give up (Stop Trying) and 3) Have Faith, Patience and Perseverance and keep
on continuing to drop 2 drops of Blue Dye Every day.
Do you see the relevance of this example to your daily decision about your own life? The first two alternative never
give you result. No Visible Change does not mean No Change at All. Remember, “Haule Haule se Dua Lagti Hai, Haule
Haule se Dawa Lagti Hai”……. Every Big Change is sum total of small changes that you bring in your daily life.
If we expect changes in other people, we must change ourselves first.
Input and Output are directly proportionate to each other. If desired
outcome is positive, input should be also positive. Your Son or Daughter
is not obedient and you want to bring positive change in his/her
behavior, you must change yourself first. You keep on finding fault in
your family member keeping in mind that one day they will realize, you
are making a big mistake. Your input is negative and your desired
outcome is positive. It never works. If you input wood, output will never
be steel. Mr Suri (Shahrukh)’s desired change was happiness of Tania,
desired output was positive, hence he changed himself. He changed his
boring outlook and became youthful, energetic and happy. Only Happy
Suri can see Happy Tania.

The potential of the average person is
like a huge ocean unsailed, a new
continent unexplored, a world of
possibilities waiting to be released and
channeled toward some great good.”
Everyone think of changing the world, but no one think
about changing himself. Input and output are directly
proportionate. If you want positive outcome, your input
must be positive. It is easy to be preachy about change. It
is easy to tell others to change their habits, attitudes, and
behavior. But one can only make partial adjustments to
one’s personality. And of course, that requires loads of
Inspiration. Bringing Change is like changing the color of
1000 Liter Water. If you show courage like Mr. Suri from
Punjab Power (Shahrukh) to accept the change, Success is
GUARANTEED.
