unbelievable romance... no really, it's not believable

ok, i haven't much been around to view a few of past post or anything about the movie since it's been a while since i saw the movie. but i'v watched it enought to understand where Raj and Simran are both coming from. First of all, Raj(as rich as he was in the movie) acts like who he is because he first of all was spoilt since he grew in a rich family without having to graduate. Simran came from a similar background but she wasn't rich and nor did she have any education but that she had at home. The movie started with both of them. Showing a bit of her and him, to give us a bit of an idea on how these two gsee each other and what conflicts or what is going to happen between these two or what is going to happen in which will involve both of these.

At first, Raj showed himself that he can't resist girls since they are all so attracted to him. He shows another scene which reflects this. This part where Raj and Simran first meet; on the train. Simran was just about to lose the train before Raj saved her and brought her inside. Rather being spoilt like he was, he continued his regeme about being all that in both in front of her and during the trip.

The first meeting made Simran really hate him and in general think differently of guys, in which makes her say that she is not interested in anyone, since they are all arrogant.

Throughout the movie, her point is proven with Raj been more arrogant wherever he was and wherever they were. But Raj at first sight couldn't resist her beauty and how nice she looked so, how they spent time together was a sceme in which Raj pulled at the shop of just normal things. This is where Raj encountered Simran coming and wanted to spend sometime with her personally to find out more about her. This is the first sign that Raj likes Simran, although he isn't showing it just yet.

Later on, after the encounter, Simran is yet saved again by Raj after Simran forgets her passport. Raj could hve just passed and let her get busted, but instead he went and saved her from the cops and took her wit her in the car he Borrowed. This is another sign in which shows that Raj wants to know Simran a bit better because he likes her but yet does not want to admit till later in the movie. They spend a night together, and after getting drunk and ending up in someone's house, Raj comes up with another sceme to test her. A test to see what her reaction will be if he acts as if they had sex or spent the night together. Obviously he wants to see if he should admit to her that he likes her or just leave it till he is positive about the feedback which he gets from her. Obviously after the first encounter between the two and Simran's hate for boys, she neglects and is disgusted until finally Raj tells her in a serious face and tone that nothing happened and that he is not that type of person. That part he is trying to get Simran to trust him in whatever happens that she is safe and that the person she saw before isn't the real him.

Later on when they were waiting for the train to arrive, they both sat next to each other. Raj started off about asking her questions about her life with family until the engagement thing came up where Simran said that she was getting married to someone in which she has never known or loved. Raj responds with how can you love someone who you have never met or seen. She responds with, throughout marriage you learn to love the husband no matter what. Raj straight away disagrees. Raj explains that a person is only meant to marry a person in which they can love with all their heart and trust them with their life as well as seeing them. The first sign of Raj's true side is shown to Simran. At that point, you see that Simran is finally starting to get closer to Raj and is trusting him more already. The first step in a relationship, Trust and friendship is earned. Simran replies with what about you, have you found that special someone? He replies with that she is hiding behind the clouds in the sky, that one day when he sees her, the clouds will open and show him that who he is seeing is the person he is meant to be with. In this case, he imagines no one but has Simran in mind. Another point in which is a close encounter between Simran and Raj. Raj explains there that he only is only serious about love when he finds that special someone. Simran becomes curious to who it is. He finds a true friend in him at that point.

Later on when they get near a church, Simran tells Raj that she wishes to pray to god in that church, although Raj doesn't like the idea, he decides to go with it for her sake, and because his feelings towards Simran is growing stronger. They get inside, Raj watches as Simran peacefully recites her prayer in her thoughts. You see that Raj is just staring at her completely, another sign in which shows Raj's true side and that his feelings are getting stronger by the minute.

When they get back to the train, their second final meeting ends up on a bridge close by the train back to London. Raj is playing his instrument and you can see that he is thinking about her, Simran doesn't see this just yet. But what Simran does see until this point, is a different person then the first meeting they had and the other encounters they had together. He see's the true side to Raj and she is too starting to like Raj more then just a friend. We don't see this yet because this is covered up until she realises that she has fallen for Raj later on. Anyway back at the bridge, Raj tells Simran that he has something important to tell Simran. He gives a serious face. Simran has yet to have a clue about what he is on about. Raj tells her that he has fallen someone during this trip, that there is someone that he loves and found. You can see Simran's face turns serious straight away and she is more aware then ever and is kind of scared of who it might be(not knowing that he is going to say it is her). He says that the person he loves/have fallen in love with is... Simran. Simran is stunned, she doesn't know what to say. That is the first reaction of nervousness and the first sign of Simran actually showing a different face rather then an angry face. Now normally after the first meeting, and by hearing this, she would have responded straight away, but she didn't reply because she too started to have feelings for him, but was scared to tell him, because she found it abit hard and she was getting confused about her feelings and scared because of her upcoming arranged marriage. She stood still watching him as Raj kept saying "i love you Simran" over and over, getting closer to her face. Then after saying nothing to him, he becomes aware that she doesn't feel the same although he finds that she too has fallen for him, because he could see it through her eyes, because the whole time, he was staring in her eyes. So after finding out how she feels, he decided to keep his true feelings and although he already said the truth, he wanted to tell her at the right time and so therefore wanted to lie, so the only option was laugh at her face. Then straight away you seen Simran's reaction change from a scared and stunned to an upset and angry face. By having this face, Simran i think says that he is too much and start to walk away while Raj makes a joke about her.

Raj's feelings started growing so strong that he almost falls in love with her. He though kept telling himself that she doesn't love him, until at that point he wanted to test it. He said to himself that after she walks, if she stops, looks back, then he has got his answer. That answer is that she too loves him and that there is a chance for the both of them. You realise now that after everything, their relationship from a friendship has grown into something more emotional, something like love which they haven't revealed to each other yet(Well Simran hasn't yet anyway).

After arriving at the trainstation, they both said their goodbyes, and departed. The scene first showed their hands or both passing each other(not 100% sure), after walking away from each other, i think Raj first looks back to see if Simran is going to stop and tell him how she feels, but keeps walking. Simran does the same, and then they make their way back to their homes, and through each step they take, they can't stop thinking of each other. This shows that they both have fallen in love with each other.


In otherwords, from having two strangers bumping into each other, to friendship to more then friendship, is all part of a relationship in which two people fall in love. It's like a procedure. This is what this movie is trying to produce, the ways in which people can fall in love, and this is just one of the ways. Although it might not come out exactly the same way as the movie, but all the aspects in which are shown in the movie like strangers, to friends then to couples are all based the same way in real life.

They both couldn't live without seeing each other and knowing that Simran is going to get married, Raj's goal was to go and stop the marriage and win Simran's heart which already belonged to him by travelling to India for her.

And you see how their loves becomes stronger through each scene and you see what they have to go through until finally being able to be together.

Well i hope you actually spend the time and read this, hehe sorry i wrote so much, but i guess i just wanted to show my point of view.
