RAJ giri@ Bachna Ae Haseeno

Saw Bachna Ae Haseeno...in Chennai..
Really irked me..in more ways than one- may be it was the over simplified manner of "sinning- realising-asking forgiveness-being redeemed" drama that made me almost smirk with the smugness that "I know it does not end that well in real life" .The swelling up resentment against the character of Ranbir kapur-aka Raj (how the namesake is morally-or rather amorally-different from the predecessor SRK Raj of Yashraj films!), the frivolity of treating another human being's feelings, almost making me realise I was not hating him alone,rather seeing the reflection of something, or somebody in his character.
But i wonder how film makers can make a genuinely potential story for understanding the web of human emotions and feelings,almost a fable- with divine justice being met out to the boy who breaks hearts of women- calling it "Killer Raj giri" , to finally end up in love with a woman, who would refuse to have him, because she is living to an ideal image of a superwoman(I now wonder how stringent is the 'academic rigor' in an Australian B-School, to leave so much time for multiple jobs!), whose scheme of things do not leave space for a man/marriage.
It pained me to see how anybody could show a man who has wronged/caused so much hurt to two women, have the audacity to believe that a mere begging for forgiveness & the sorries of the world, would set things right or turn the course of events that happened in the past. To me,it appeared only a selfish act of seeking redemption when there cannot be any because the person who has been hurt can never get that unhurt feeling or the unchanged future back. May be Mahi was plain lucky (it being a movie) to have a husband whom she deserved more than the guy who she loved and was cheated by, but not everyone who does not have the influence of such an optimistic Director would have that luck. (Btw Kunal Kapur, even in the turban, was a treat to watch- simply because his acting outshone everybody else's , especially the atrocious lip & teeth gritting dialogue delivery of Mimisha Lamba)
Though the character of Raj does philosophise in the end about " The past being something you cannot change, but the future finally depending on what you do Today" , i walked out of the cinema hall with an unsettling feeling -how much does the future actually remain unaffected by such a painful past.
No answers...and i know why..may be i am taking it too personally ...or may be i know "being there", and wishing i had a Kunal Kapur to look forward to :P
