i liked the movie, its very well made and the acting is very gud, especially from dhanush

i get kundan fell in love with zoya wen they were kids, and zoya also started to like him, but wen people grow up things change, she moved away and fell in love with someone else, kundan was left behind with her memories, and wen she came and told him she did not love him, kundan shud hav really let her go, but he just cudn't. he wud get angry at her, he went to the extent of slitting his wrists, he even promised swara's character that he wud marry her but ended up not even turning up at the wedding and breaking her heart

and most of all he revealed to everyone that jasjit is not a muslim a day before zoyas wedding, yes it was wrong of jasjit and zoya to lie to thier parents, but if kundan truly loved her he wud want her to be happy, instead he broke up thier marriage, it was like his way of saying to zoya 'now that u rejected me i wont let him marry u either', kundan was filled with anger, and in the process ruined his life for a girl that just did not love him, and also ruined zoya and jasjits life aswell, i really did not like that kundan did that to them

its a really sad case for everyone involved, kundan just cudn't let zoya go no matter how much he tried, after jasjit died he tried to make it up to her but it was too late and the damage was done

Also Zoya was never going to choose kundan, becuase kundan was not educated, he didn't even hav a proper job, so besides love he wudnt be able to give her anything else, he wudnt be able to support her, it wud hav been better for him to be with a girl who truly wanted him for he is, he shudnt be chasing a girl who wud never be with him

Raanjhana is one of my favorite films of this decade.

I loved the film, i think it is a complete film, a great story, classic acting from the protagonist, beautiful music and perfect direction. Dialogue were bang on too, this film was something very earthy that takes you down to an entire journey of a boy, who grows up in his love, self destructs his own life, his redemption, his sacrifices, his selfless but yet flawed love, Kundan is one of the bets characters of this generation.

Some of my favorite scenes -

When zoya hugs kundan after the rally, he knew she was pretending to be sorry, but he felt nothing, he was totally numb. I loved the way Dhanush enacted that small sequence, that particular sequence was heart breaking.

The whole aise na dekho song, and the silence with which Kundan tries to redeem himself, making zoya more insecure and jealous and completely against him, his redemption taking his life, there could never be a better irony.

When murari sees kundan at death bed and breaks down, i cried, i loved their friendship, Murari was probably the only person who knew that Kundan's entire life revolved around zoya, and how shattered he was to see his friend dying despite always trying to keep zoya happy.

The last shot of grown up kundan walking and the child kundan running, the bst shot of the film with Tum Tak at the bg, some phenomenal feels there.

Acting wise Dhanush deserved all the applause, and this is not even his best performance, knowing his filmography and have watched his tamil films, i know how he is capable of much more but this performance is still so special, he has a brilliant control over his expressions, and even though not good looking, there is always a charm and innocence that he generates onscreen. Truly one of my favorite actors after Raanjhna.

Special mention to Zeeshan, his and Dhanush's chemistry made up for the first half of the film, great one liners and some great humor there.
