Tamasha

Imtiaz Ali, yet again, delivers a love story that undergoes the complexities of life. Unlike every other love story, this one attempts at exploring life, love and yourself by breaking the shackles of the society
In the movie, Ved Vardhan Sahni (Ranbir Kapoor) is a normal, average man who follows a routine and a has a monotonous life whereas Tara Maheshwari (Deepika Padukone) is a sucker for adventures and loves to live life to its fullest. Never would have anyone imagined that two strangers accidentally meeting in a far away land of Corsica, would turn out to be true soulmates. Failing to stick to their pact of “what happens in Corsica, stays in Corsica”, they once again crossed ways after 4 long years after Tara staged their meet in such a way that it almost look coincidental.
Once again, the same love story was to blossom and they were to be the same mad, crazy lovers that they were. However, this time, they were in the real world and met each other with their real personalities. But Tara was in for a surpise because the Ved she met in Corsica was the complete opposite of the Ved she met in Delhi. She found Ved to be hiding his true fun loving personality behind a corporate face. The story builds up to Tara helping Ved find himself and doing what he is made for ie storytelling and dramatics.
Ved was creative person locked behind a 9-5 job. All he needed was a push to make him realise who he is really is and what he wants from life. Breaking away from his monotonous life, Ved attained enlightenment and an awakening that made him realise that instead of doing a corporate job, he wants to pursue theatre and start his new journey of life through drama and stroytelling. The movie ends on a beautiful note when Ved lies pays respect to Tara by lying on the ground, head bowed down and hands joined towards her. He wanted to thank her for changing his life completely and making him find himself and his happiness.
The movie wonderfully depicts his life journey in a way that it makes us question ourselves and what we want to do with our lives. Hard hitting songs like Agar Tum Saath Ho and Safarnama totally leave us thinking about life. The scenic beauty of Corsica makes us want to dive into the screen and want to explore the world. Overall the film is a great effort at making us realise that its okay to sometimes take a break from the monotony of life and set on a journey to find yourself.
