Haven’t written about any Bollywood production recently, right? Time to change that. Since it’s Sunday, I guess there’s no better day for such recommendation. Let me remind you that a typical Bollywood film is at least 2,5h long, so get yourself a lot of cold drinks, tons of popcorn or other snacks and make some space for dancing. Or wait with the last one. As you might be guessing it’s a sweet love story. Raj (Shahrukh Khan) is the owner of a small trucking company. Perhaps he’s not a millionaire, but he’s fine with that. One day he has an accident – someone crashes into his truck. That someone is Priya (Rani Mukerji), a famous fashion designer coming from a rather rich family. Even though they are from two completely different worlds, Raj believes they are meant for each other. Since the moment they met, the man has been doing literally everything to stay in Priya’s life. And I mean everything. If a man is ready to jump off a cliff or get drowned for a woman, it is something, isn’t it? Obviously, Priya is very much sceptical about having any kind of relation with Raj, but somehow she still accepts his presence and at some point realises that he’s more than just a stranger. Those two fall in love with each other, but the more time they spend together, the more differences they’re discovering. And then drama happens… But you probably know how it will end, it’s a Bollywood romance after all. I’m a huge fan of them, because they are simple, yet always heart-warming and entertaining. There’s just one issue… Remember about that dancing space I wrote about at the beginning? Yeah, forget about it. The songs are better for swaying on the sofa than moving your hips. And I have to say I was a bit disappointed about that part, because even though I don’t speak Hindi, I always sing and dance together with the characters. Here, I was very passive, so that is why I’m lowering my rating. Other than that, adorable love story with the one and only Shahrukh Khan.

My rating: 6/10
