Gone Shanti Gone


Mera naam wai hai jo hamesha shanti ke saat jude reheta hai”. I am really disturbed by the way the relationship between SRK and Deepikha is portrayed in the first half of the movie. The story is nailed upon the love between SRK and Deepikha, which is depicted in a way to carry the audience all the way to the culmination of the story. But the audience feels deceived when they come to know about the marriage of Deepikha with Arjun. This turns the audience slightly abashed and they aren’t moved by the rest of the scenes. I go with the audience in this issue. When the director is penning a love as pure and blemish less as this one, she cannot afford to lose the audience
at this point. How can someone truly in love commit a sin like adultery? But, adultery is something that is not a sin nowadays; they are overlooked, or even encouraged. But the director cannot pursue this notion when she is making a film in which the most celebrated Indian plays a role. Hence this love doesn’t strike the audience as enthralling, but it makes Deepikha a hypocrite, which shouldn’t happen. I know I am not a misogynist, but the role of deepikha in this film instigates a question in mind.IS THE WOMEN OF TODAY’S WORLD AS HYPOCRITICAL AND SHALLOW AS DEEPIKHA IN THIS FILM? Do they wear their masks of true love as easy as their low-hipped jeans, and conceal their true natures of adultery beyond the range of perception of a normal man???
