SRK's double Role in Rab Ne bana di jodi


King Khan is back


After a drowsy 2008 the Badshah of Bollywood Shahrukh Khan comes back with a bang in November with not one but TWO roles…in the same movie.

Rab ne bana di jodi , King Khan’s latest movie has himself in a spicy double role, much like his previous outings Om Shanti Om and Duplicate.

Rab ne bana di jodi reunites buddies Aditya Chopra and Shahrukh Khan, 12 years after the mega blockbuster Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. Aditya Chopra had also roped in Shahrukh Khan to play a romantic violin teacher in Mohabbatein, but both the movie and Shahrukh’s role were low key compared to this high masala uber glamorous movie.

Shahrukh Khan continues his popular trend of introducing a top model to the big screen ala Amrita Rao in ‘Mai hoon Na’ and Deepika Padukone in ‘Om Shanti Om’. This time around, supermodel Anushka Sharma makes her debut opposite Shahrukh in Rab ne bana di jodi. Rab ne bana di jodi is loosely based on the Bhagwat Gita of Bollywood Comedy - Amol Palekar’s Golmal. Much like Om Shanti Om, Shahrukh will have one role of a simple desi dunderhead and the other of a new age hipster.

People love Shahrukh… for obvious reasons. And ‘Rab ne bana di jodi’ has two of him. The movie is destined to be a box office rage since there is huge buzz and huger anticipation. It will also be a welcome change for disappointed fans who watched the underwhelming ‘Paanchvi Pass’.

The formula is foolproof. The girl is hot. The promos seem jazzy. Will Shahrukh Khan repeat the success of Om Shanti Om with Rab ne bana di jodi?

And more importantly... will Aamir Khan's excruciatingly anticipated 'Ghajini' (that also releases in November) clobber Shahrukh's Rab ne bana di jodi?
