Rab ne bana di jodi, is a love story of a married couple in the most unrealistic circumstances. The movie missed the practicality at lot of places and thus failed to impress me. Otherwise I liked Shahrukh in both roles(Raj and Sukhji). Anushuka Sharma is really cute.

A Wednesday, because the story happened on a wednesday. Absolutely intriging!!! loved Jimmy Shergill and Amir Basir for there powerful and realistic performance.

Two things that stood out in the movie for me from an human perspective were 

1)  the way inspector Jay Singh (Amir Basir) manages his communication with his wife in the middle of all the chaos. Very admisrable act, hope a real person can really deal with professional and personal life the way he does.
2) the way thr trio deal with the situation - starting from getting CM's approval to meeting the "commom man", hope our police department was really made of some truthful,  repsonsive and respnsible individuals.

Verdict: A definite Watch!!!
