ZNMD * *

ZNMD is all about appreciating the smallest of moments in life and living life as you would want and not according to the whims and fancies of your dominating, manipulative, paranoid and bitching would be better half. I mean that's just one dimension of it.Of course, there is much more in the flick than this.It revolves around a pact of three college friends where they planned to play dare and dare on a mega scale before anyone of them gets married.As per the pact, the guys cannot share the dare till they are at the venue and the other two cannot back out.



Amidst the dares, these guys then realize the art of living.And no, attending the art of living course by Sri Sri Ravi Shanker was not one of the three dares.They realize that beneath and beyond their tall office buildings, there lies a world full of beauty and awe to be explored and cherished. The bottom line is to rise above your fears and irrelevant obligations, to live free and happily.After all, you only live once.



As for the individual performances, Farhan Akhtar seemed to dominate the hunk and DevD both thanks to the larger screen space backed with powerful poetry in his voice. Zoya's bias for Farhan is evident throughout.And the myth about Spain is true.The degree of hotness doubles and is very apparent via Katrina Kaif who has never looked that hot.Except for that aam-sutra commercial.Zoya's direction is very mature and she conveys the message with some powerful scenes having less of words and more of facial expressions.But then, our impatient Indian audience who likes to be spoon fed, might not appreciate her intentions.





You do get a lot of wisdom though from the movie.One- If you feel like kissing somebody, do it, otherwise the regret will make you chase him/her all the way, so why not do it at the first place and avoid all that jazz.Two-Never show a ring to a girl just like that, there can be a disastrous butterfly effect on your life.Three- adventure sports is not the only way to live your life fully, it depends from person to person.So don't feel bad if you haven't done all that and even if you don't plan to.Four- Running ahead of bulls is not an adventure sport, believe you me.Five- The strategy of working your ass off till 40 and then enjoying is bull shit. For such people i have some words - holocausts, tsunami,earthquakes,genocides,Kasab,Brevik 9/11,11/26 and mother of all is 2012. Dudes, kya pata kal ho na ho. Live life king size.Everyday.Every second of it.So go for it, if you like Spain or Katrina or if you have forgotten how to live.



दिलो में तुम अपनी बेताबियाँ लेकर चल रहे हो, तो जिंदा हो |

नज़र में ख्वाबो की बिजलिया लेकर चल रहे हो, तो जिंदा हो ||





P.S. I know its ridiculously late,but couldn't resist.
