Harry met Sejal

Imtiaz Ali Khan should take a break. Do something else for a while. Hairy(Harry in Gujrati) mate (met in Gujrati) Sejal is another pile of pig shit.  There were instances in the film where the leads didn’t have dialogue to say. They probably muttered something that came to their lips in those instances. SRK screams at the sea imagining his voice is heard in India. Anoushka is cuddling SRK throughtout, but they don’t have sex. Indian Culture, YAY! I am trying very hard to recall something good about the film. And the only thing I can think of is the character of Sejal who is a Gujrati girl with a heavy Gujrati accent. The whole Gujju thing of money mindedness and legal suaveness was a little entertaining. It was difficult to believe that a girl from Mumbai whose family runs a diamond business, can have a Gujrati accent. I am from Mumbai and have many Gujrati friends. I imitate their accents a lot. But most of them have humbler backgrounds. Anoushka pulls off a very good Sejal. She looks stunning too. Shah Rukh Khan is at his worst. His already artificial acting gets more so, because of lack of a script and content. He tries hard to look broad by walking with his chest out and broadening his shoulders, which, believe me, looked as if they were detached from his main body. Tryinh hard to match Anoushka’s frame ? 

                        First half is somewhat bearable but second half is stinking crap. Imtiaz Ali probably thought that the locales and scenic beauty of Europe will make up for the garbage he has served. But it is worst because he is mocking at his audience by taking them for fools, lured easily by European glitz, colonial architecture, shiny discos and posh cafes. The whole elitist thing of mocking someone’s accent and making that as a basis of a whole film is rather pathetic. And impressing with phoren phrames and phoren chamdi ? You can do better. Ararara Imtiaaaz , thoda cock (coke in Gujrati) pee aur Hairy mate Sejal jaisa gaanda tatti dalna band kar de.
