With such a title, what do you expect this gem of a movie to be?!
Finding Fanny. Finding the Window to Heaven!
What if?
It is one of the most interesting and poignant questions of our lives. Especially, when looked at in hindsight. Add a tinge of nostalgia and 'what if' can cause heartbreaks too. Again.
We love to cherish our memories; more than that, we love to cherish our imagined and make-believe memories. 'What ifs' bring such imagined memories alive and give it utmost significance in our mundane lives. I should know because I continue to live with a lot of 'what ifs'.
This cheeky film is a look at the reality of one such romantic 'what if' and is a quirky journey towards that in the present.
Life is a journey to be led in the present without waiting to answer 'what ifs'. The characters who inhabit this fictitious village are downright hilarious; they are people whom you want to meet with because they exist as caricatures in cartoons.
The narcoleptic cat takes the cake! Is the cat dead or asleep? At the same time? You know that only if and when you observe! :-)
The painter, who incidentally dies accidentally after he has painted his 'masterpiece' after having found his 'fanny' is a classic case of 'life owes you only so much'. Of how you lose value of something/someone you hold so dearly only till you 'find' it as a part of your daily life. Which is why unrequited love always feels more dear and poignant than requited loves.
More often than not, an unrequited love turns out to be the love of our life. More songs are composed on unrequited love every year. More people sing such songs.
Reality is often different; it's dead. Like shown in the film literally and symbolically, 'What ifs' are always dead. The reality is not what you project on a person with your rose-petaled and pink-tinted sunglasses peppered with romantic illusions and fertile imaginations.
Love really makes you blind. Till death makes you stare at the horizon till you really see the world as it is.

Also, watched Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania. This feel-good film is an open tribute to DDLJ and adds a bit of Jab We Met fun along with Band Baaja Baraat spirit to it.
