Director: Makarand Deshpande
Shah Rukh Bola Khubsoorat Hai Tu' is a story about a flower girl, Laali played by Preetika Chawla. Her life changes when Shah Rukh Khan stops at a traffic signal (red light) where she sells flowers and compliments her on her beauty. The title of the movie speaks for the movie. The movie shows our society's obsession with stars, who turn deities or at least semi-gods for us all, in spite of their known limitations and weaknesses. We have been witnessing this during the umpteen elections held in India and abroad when the contestants approach the stars to attract crowds, if nothing else. All political parties exploit them and then also fall victims to their pressures. That's why many of the film stars have occupied high offices of chief ministers in several states. Thus, director Makrand Deshpande presumably warns us to beware of an extraordinary influence of the stars on our lives. Would we learn from it seems to be difficult.
Shah Rukh's stray comment empowers her and she considers herself beautiful indeed! After all, no less than a giant lady killer of Shah Rukh's fame described Laali as beautiful. SRK's wife Gauri might be feeling envious of her. Consequently, Laali turns her back to her old love John, and lives a fancy life. When the man who loves her feels rejected and stabs her; the bar girl who loves him takes over his life, insisting that he stop selling books and start driving an auto-rickshaw. This reminds us of SRK's Devdas in the life of John. In the world of big movies, small ones are also beautiful. Makrand has made a successful experiment. However, the director's lofty ideas need a lot more. Wish the director had paid more attention towards story writing and tight editing to make even a small movie a beautiful one.
