LET’S REBOOT
Kho Gaye Hum Kahan is perfect for movie night on New Year’s Eve.
Ahana - an old-school romantic trying to find a soulmate in the digital age. She gets the reality check in the worst way possible. But how she handled it makes me like her more. I get you, Ahana - We don’t need someone to validate our self-worth.
Imaad — You defined friendship in the best way possible. You made your friend understand his toxic relationship, invested in his dream project, and helped another from slipping into depression. All of this by being alone in the fight with your past. I understand, Imaad — it is hard to establish Emotional intimacy with screens around us — but we can try “Into Me See.”
Neil — Your way of venting out — Trolling through fake accounts and shouting at family made me realize what a layered life we live. Sometimes, it is difficult to look at our life without filters. I understand the world seems so beautiful and happening on Instagram that we feel like “We don’t have a life.”
Every influencer out there must be as insecure as Lala. Trying to live the perfect life. Guazing and editing moments. Living a life always being watched, judged, and, even worse, trolled must be hard. But I understand, Lala — You chose this life and can’t escape the algorithm.
Rohan — Thank you for depicting the worst thing a boy can do just to get back at the girl he once supposedly loved. NOT CARE! The big red flag most girls avoid.
Simran — You are a perfect blend of emotionally scarred but hopeful for-life personality. The ideal illustration to live life in moments. I get you — “the way you see life makes it the way it is — choose your lens wisely.”
This New Year’s Eve, watch this fantastic story of close-to-real-life characters. You might find some resolutions to break them in the first week of January. Yash Sahai has done an incredible job with dialogues that stay with you long after the movie.
Every new year, we plan to bring a change a change in our lives. This year, let’s try living in the moment without screens. Let’s Reboot.
