Plot Box office
Surinder Sahni is a shy and mild-mannered office employee working for Punjab Power who visits the
marriage ceremony of Taani Gupta, the cheerful daughter of Professor Shirish Gupta who is his former
teacher. He falls in love at first sight with her but is unable to express it. Unfortunately, her fianceè
and all his family members are killed in a road accident which results in the devastated Professor
Gupta developing a massive heart attack. He is taken to a hospital where, on his deathbed, the dying
Professor Gupta asks Surinder to marry Taani upon fearing that she will be left alone in the world after
his death. Surinder agrees to this as he loves Taani anyway. Taani also agrees to fulfill her father's last
wish.
After Professor Gupta's death and funeral, Surinder has an unplanned marriage with Taani and takes
her to his ancestral house in Amritsar, Punjab. Over there, he begins to behave with her in a kind
nature and show his respect to her - he even lets her have his bedroom all to herself and stays in the
attic - but is too frightened to confess his love for her. A miserable Taani locks herself in Surinder's
room all the time as she was not willing to marry Surinder. However, Surinder's close friend Balwinder
Khosla alias Bobby and other office colleagues invite themselves to his house for a party after learning
about his marriage from the neighbours. Surinder feels awkward as he cannot make them meet a
depressed Taani but is surprised when she shows up. Later that night, Taani eventually agrees to
become a good wife and thus respect her role in Surinder's life but feels that she can never love him or
anyone else again.
Grateful towards her care for him, Surinder buys a new car for her and often takes her to the movie
theatre to watch Hindi films as Taani has a passion of romance and dance. Later, Taani finds a poster
of a dance competition in Amritsar and asks Surinder to let her participate in it, to which, he agrees
and even helps her pay the fees. Surinder subsequently asks Bobby for some grooming advice which
could help him win Taani's love by converting her back into a happy-go-lucky girl. Being a hair-salon
owner, Bobby gives Surinder a complete makeover - which includes making him not use his spectacles,
trimming off his moustache, changing his hairstyle into a fashionable spiky style and fitting him out in
funky Western-style clothing with aviator-style shades and oversize pastel contact lenses, including a
motorcycle to help him become a macho.
He is thus transformed into a loud and fun-loving boy named "Raj Kapoor" (who is an actor) and then
goes to the venue of the dance competition to see Taani's performance. He joins the competition and
at the end of the class, all the participants are put into two groups with random numbers given out by
the instructors in colours red and green, respectively. Raj and Taani coincidentally have the same
number - "21" - and are thus selected as each other's dance partners. Raj tries to give the "cool" images
of heroes to Taani and returns home in his original form of Surinder, deciding to play this "dual role"
for a few more days.
Taani eventually assures Raj that they will surely come first in the competition if they practice their
dance in extra time, making him criticize Surinder's character with the hopes of winning her love. Raj
and Taani become friends and start working together in their dance routine. They are eventually
selected for the finals and go to have dinner at a restaurant where Raj wins the eating competition
between them with Panipuris. Later that night, Taani prepares Biryani for Surinder who graciously
eats it after returning home but ends up having a stomachache for overeating.
After a couple of days, Raj confesses his love for Taani by using his electric company abilities to shape
the Amritsar lights to spell out "I Love You". A shocked Taani faces a dilemma despite Raj assuring her
that they can still remain friends if she does not reciprocate his feelings. With tears in her eyes, she
asks him to leave her alone for some time which leaves Raj confused. Meanwhile, Surinder also faces a
dilemma as he cannot tell Taani of his disguise. He thus gains Bobby's advice of winning her love as
"Surinder", but not as Raj.
One night, Surinder takes Taani to a trade fair where he participates in a Sumo-wrestling competition
to win two airline tickets for Japan, knowing that his office salary would not be sufficient for the trip.
He is severely injured and ultimately manages to defeat the huge Sumo-wrestler but Taani gets shell-
shocked and infuriated at this. While dressing Surinder's injuries at home, she demands to know the
reason behind his actions and begs him not to keep showering his care on her as she would not be able
to repay him. Surinder understands that true love cannot be repaid and is disappointed as Taani
cannot see it in his original form, but only in Raj. Later that night, Taani reunites with Raj in a garage
and emotionally explains her dilemma to him. Seeing her distressed, he asks her to elope with him
after the competition. A heartbroken Surinder then reveals to Bobby that he has decided to exit from
Taani's life by sacrificing his cravings for her love, leaving her his property and applying for a transfer
to Delhi so that she can find some suitable "Raj" for herself.
The next day, Surinder takes Taani to the Golden Temple to make her receive blessings from God for
her performance and internally, also for her life without Raj. While there, Taani believes God has
shown her a sign that her marriage with Surinder is divinely inspired. For the first time, she reflects on
Surinder and has the realization of the strength and integrity in his character, something which she
grows into love. That night, Taani confesses to Raj that she loves Surinder and tells him that she
cannot choose him over her husband as it is equivalent in leaving God which is impossible. She leaves
him in a state of shock with tears in his eyes but Raj is secretly happy that Taani loves his "true-self",
Surinder.
When the time comes for their performance, Taani is shocked to see Surinder joining her on stage
instead of Raj. While dancing, she awakens to the fact that Raj is none other than Surinder through a
series of flashbacks. After their performance, Taani tearfully confronts Surinder backstage when he
confesses that he "loves her more than God". She admits that she reciprocates his feelings and the two
win the competition. In the end, the film leaves a message that there is an extraordinary love story in
every ordinary couple.
The end credits show the couple visiting Japan on their belated honeymoon.

Theme
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi tells a story from the point of view of an ordinary person and, most importantly,
conveys a message that being 'ordinary' is cool. The filmmakers were confident that it would be able to
strike a chord with millions because the film has ordinary people as its target audience:[10]
"As middle-class people, so many of us have a routine life. We wake up in the morning, get
dressed, go to the office, come back, sometimes for a change we buy things to take home,
watch TV, eat dinner and go to sleep. And then we repeat this day after day, week after
week. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi talks about one such man who lives a routine life. It is a simple
film at heart."[10]
Casting and filming
In February 2008, Aditya Chopra announced that he will helm another film titled Rab Ne Bana Di
Jodi and that it will star his lucky mascot, Shah Rukh Khan. The female lead was to be a newcomer
who would be chosen following a massive talent hunt for a young, demure woman with quintessential
Punjabi features.[11] In May, Yash Raj announced the casting of the 19-year-old model Anushka
Sharma as the leading lady opposite Khan. Yash Chopra commented:
"We were looking first for someone who could truly embody the spirit of small-town
Punjab. We know we have found her in Anushka. While she has no previous acting
experience, we have seen that unique spark in her that makes us confident that she will be
a standout even opposite Shah Rukh."[12]
Sharma was chosen over hundreds of girls for this role and was kept hidden from the media during the
filming. When asked about that, Khan said: "The idea was not to keep her a secret; we wanted her
work to speak for her. When new actors come into films, it is important for people to see their work
and then question them. It becomes easier after the film releases."[13] Vinay Pathak was cast to play an
important role in the film, making it his first commercial outing.[14]
Filming began in May 2008; Yash Chopra was present at the shoot.[15] A portion was shot with Khan
at the Golden Temple in Amritsar, Punjab.[16] Khan had to lose the six-pack abs he developed for the
song "Dard-E-Disco" from Om Shanti Om (2007) since he was playing the role of a very normal,
regular person.[17]

The soundtrack of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi was composed by Salim– Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

Release
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi was released across 30 countries worldwide on 12 December 2008 on over 1,200
screens, including approximately 300 prints for the overseas market, making it the first time a
Bollywood film was released on such a wide scale.[22] Before release, the film witnessed a large volume
of advance bookings.[23] Aditya Chopra, who is known for maintaining secrecy over his films and not
showing them to anyone until the day of release, made an exception and held a special screening on 23
November 2008 at Yash Raj Studios. The screening was attended by Khan and his family, Karan
Johar, Yash Chopra, and debutante Sharma.[24]
There was a huge debate in the industry whether Aditya Chopra's decision to go ahead with the release
of the film in the wake of the terror strikes in Mumbai was the right one. With the trauma of the
terrorist attacks on Mumbai city on 26, 27, and 28 November still fresh, there was divided opinion on
the release schedule. While some felt that Chopra should go ahead with the release because the public,
tired and depressed after watching news of the attacks and the aftermath on television screens, would
be waiting for a true entertainer to divert its mind, others thought he should postpone the film release
as the audiences, not just in Mumbai but all over the country, were still not in a mood to visit
theatres.[25]
Promotion
The first poster of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi was released in October in theatres and multiplexes across
India, with full-page advertisements in national dailies. The first theatrical promo was released on 14
November, with Karan Johar's Dostana. Initially very little was known about the movie, and there
were many theories floating around on the Internet about the story.[26][27] The first music promo of
the song "Haule Haule" was released on 2 November 2008, across all leading television channels to
coincide with Khan's 43rd birthday.[28] The song promo had received praise from the public.[29]
Home media
Joginder Tuteja of Bollywood Hungama gave the DVD of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi 3.5 out of 5 stars
stating that it is a good choice if you "want to watch a clean family movie at home." The DVD includes
the documentaries, The Making of the Film and The Making of the Songs ("Haule Haule", "Dance Pe
Chance", "Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte"), as well as a number of deleted scenes and interviews.[30] The
film, was released on Blu-ray a year after its theatrical release.
Reception
Critical reception
Upon release, the film received positive reviews. Robert Abele of the Los Angeles Times calls Rab Ne
Bana Di Jodi an "agreeably amusing comedy/romance/musical" noting that, "the magnetic Khan is a
skilled enough comic actor with his physical transformation—like a Peter Sellers-ish recessive turning
into a Jerry Lewis extrovert—that believing Taani wouldn't notice isn't difficult."[31] Rachel Saltz of
The New York Times describes it as "soft, sweet and slow, in the words of one of its songs. It deftly
blends comedy, the ruling tone of the new Bollywood, with melodrama, the ruling tone of the old."[32]
Manish Gajjar of the BBC gave the film 4 out of 5 stars noting that, "Shah Rukh Khan makes you laugh
and cry as the nerdy-looking, clumsy, bespectacled Surinder and all hip and happening Raj. A true
professional in his own right, Khan breezes through his dialogues during the emotional and comic
scenes."[33]Frank Lovece of Film Journal International argues that it is "smarter and more self-aware
of its rom-com contrivances than most Hollywood movies" and notes that while "the movie's
cleverness eventually devolves into a simplistic Harlequin-Romance-for-males wish-fulfillment about
beauty and the geek, it's a very well-acted variation on a Hollywood staple."[34] Critic and author
Maitland McDonagh of MissFlickChick.com stated that the film, "has been dismissed in some quarters
as self-conscious and artificial, a coyly self-referential reworking of outdated movie tropes a la Todd
Haynes' Far From Heaven, but it works for me in a way that most contemporary Hollywood romcoms
don't."[35]
The film also received some negative reviews. Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN was critical, giving it 2 out
of 5 stars and stating that "Aditya Chopra's return to direction after 8 years is marked by a flawed
script, which in turn spawns a disappointing film. Where's the smart dialogue and the spirited
characters that defined his debut film, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge? There's no trace of either in this
film...the problem then, at the root of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, is that much like those artificial sets in the
film, the emotions too are contrived."[36] Derek Elley of Variety argues that the film has "a huge,
hollow center that sinks the project early on...A paper-thin script drags itself to the finish line amid
tiresome mugging by Khan, a huge credibility gap (she never recognises him without his spectacles
and moustache?), and a blah score with only one showstopper (featuring 5 famous actresses)."[37]
A number of critics have further noted the similarities between this movie and superhero films. Khalid
Mohamed, of the Hindustan Times, gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars stating that Surinder "is a soul
brother to the mousy Clark Kent-cum-Superman" who "makes you laugh and sob alternately."[38]
Mayank Shekhar from Mumbai Mirror gave the film three out of five stars and argues that "[The]
same person, oppositely twinned, is usually the stuff of superhero films; the kinds of Clark Kent-
Superman, Peter Parker-Spider-Man etc. You feel entirely lost in this fantasy flick because for the
most part, it’s built around something so intimate and real. It’d be much easier to travel to foreign
countries around far-fetched situations with fake heroes."[39] In addition, Sudish Kamath of The
Hindu stated that while Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi could have been an interesting art film exploring the
dynamics of an arranged marriage, the director instead "treats this character type like Sam Raimi
would treat Spider-Man...Superhero 'Raj' slips into costume and out, complaining about how it gets
uncomfortable around the crotch, to win over his Mary Jane with not much saving-the-world business
to keep him busy. But while Spidey does it for a bigger reason than just MJ, Raj’s sole motivation is to
stalk his wife and play out his fantasy as somebody else. His obsession with his alter-ego reaches new
heights when he wants his wife to cheat on the real him—the goofy Surinder Sahni who starts off
well."[40]
Box office
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi collected ₹420 million (US$5.3 million) in its opening week.[41] By its fourth
week, it had earned ₹860 million (US$11 million), making it Shah Rukh Khan's fifth consecutive
blockbuster in 3 years and Aditya Chopra's third blockbuster as a director.[42][43] The film grossed
$8.43 million in the overseas market of which $2.09 million was contributed by the United States and
$2.24 million from the UK, and was declared as a blockbuster overseas.[44]
At the end of its theatrical run, it grossed ₹1,578.9 million (US$20 million) worldwide, thus becoming
Yash Raj Films' and Khan's highest-grossing film at the time of its release.[7] It was the second-
highest-grossing film domestically and the highest-grossing in the overseas market that year.
