10 probable reasons why ZNMD is a huge hit

• It’s genuinely funny. It’s a great idea to have got Farhan Akthar to write the dialogues. Well, he produced it, his sister directed it – so, just glad he opened that writing pad and started writing. Charming, witty script –full marks on that front. It makes you LOL even when you are watching it alone.
• Well, the funny narrative had to be delivered suitably; hence a good cast was sought. And the good cast is not just good at dialogue delivery, Zoya made sure they are good looking too. Draw all types of women might as well been the plan– the arty falls for Abhay Deol, the smart ones for Mr Akthar and the rest for Hrithik Roshan. And these girls will make sure that their boyfriends are there. Katrina might have been the backup plan.
• Place good looking people in great locations with a good story – that’s a good strategy to start with. Throw in a talented director and cinematographer for good luck.
• It’s filled with surprises. Exploring the new country, the past, old friendships, new relationships –a tremendous range of emotions for a single movie to cover. The movie manages to do this with grace.
• It didn’t underestimate me. It didn’t underestimate the cinema going audience of India. It didn’t expect everyone to understand Spanish (the reference to a movie about flying objects made from paper merely coincidental). It didn’t hold placards or canned laughter – the story believed that you were with it at all times and good film making ensured that you were.
• Good music even in a movie without an actor or a story has created box office hits in the past. So good music in ZNMD was not a bad idea. It gives the movie a few more Filmfare entries. And the songs are fun. It’s nice to see Abhay Deol dancing, even though he looks as clumsy as an ice skater on rapidly melting ice.
• Good filming made everything look cool. Did you notice how it made even the Indian Airlines airhostess look cool?
• Katrina is particular preachy when with Hrithik. And Hrithik is particularly impressed every time she says advocates the obvious. “A man should be in a box only when he dies”, “Wow…you know how to live”, he exclaims. They don’t subject the other characters to this side show of theirs.
• It showed you things that you wanted to see. Things that the average movie goer wishes he could be a part of.. Hot girl rides the bullet, hot girl turns up as the scuba instructor, hot guys jump out of planes and then proceed to sing quite well- you get the drift, don’t you?
• There are moments in the film without back ground music. I don’t know if you noticed. But something about that made it more realistic. After all as Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara so does life often happen without a background tune.
