Surinder Sahni or Soori (Shah Rukh Khan) loses his lust for life but starts regaining it after marrying the much younger Taani (Anushka Sharma). She, however, does not love him and is bored of the marriage. One day she sees the offer to participate in a dance reality show and jumps at the chance. To make his wife happy, Soori undergoes a makeover and participates alongside his wife as her partner Raj. Failing to realize it is her husband, Taani starts falling in love with her co-contestant Raj.

The audience came out of the theatre after the first day first show of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi with smiles on their faces. The come back film of Aditya Chopra, after Dilwale Dulhania Le Jaayenge (1995) and Mohabbatein (2000) does not disappoint. The reactions to the film varied from amazing to the best. Though everyone agreed that the Dilwale Dulhania Le Jaayenge magic could not be recreated, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi's music definitely comes close.

Director Kunal Kohli's appearance along with other officials of the Yash Raj banner at the theatre was a pleasant surprise.

Trivia

Anushka Sharma, a Bangalore-based model, has done ad campaigns for brands like Silk & Shine, Whisper and Fiat Palio.

Movie Story

Surinder Sahni (Shah Rukh Khan) works for Punjab Power Corporation. A simple and shy person, Surinder falls in love with bubbly and bold Taani (Anushka Sharma), the moment he sees her.

Circumstances force Taani to marry Surinder after her fiancé's death. However, Taani makes it clear to Surinder that she will never be able to love him.

Surinder sees Taani smile first time after ages when she decides to join a dance school and participate in a dance competition. While Surinder looks for ways to win Taani's heart, his friend Bobby (Vinay Pathak) urges him to join dance classes too, to be near Taani. Bobby gives such a makeover to Surinder that no one, including Taani, can not recognize him.

Luck makes Surinder Taani's dance partner. Surinder introduces himself to Taani as Raj. As Raj, Surinder is a completely different person, uninhibited, outspoken and garishly loud.

One day, Raj expresses his love to Taani. After refusing initially, Taani thinks Raj is the ideal person for her. Surinder is sad; Taani loves Raj and not Surinder, his real self. The tale of man's struggle to win his love ends on a happy note.
