so i watched this movie with my friend and totally liked it, we guys are not very critic type but this movie was fun, the only thing we debated on was the ending, why would the three start to run when they barely survived in the first attempt? my opinion was that first, they didn't wanna run away like cowards and second, Kabir (Abhay Deol) truly loved Natasha and felt he'd better die in the bull race than to reject her! what do u guys think?

aditya_vikram, wha...what were you thinking?
Spoilers ahead about "Clueless" and "Nanny Mcphee & the big bang" and loads of Marvel movies and apologies for what might sound like a rant.
(a) you must KNOW that you're walking out before you've seen all of the storytelling if you leave before the movie ends. How can you underestimate the value of a song and dance - I imagine a director dresses every frame of a movie as carefully as a poet chooses every word of a poem. I'm speechless. Who does that in this day and age, where almost half the movies that end with a wedding scene show a-couple-you-would-not have-expected-to-see-around-the-beginning-of-the-movie?
(See Clueless for a 1990s example and thanks to "Nanny McPhee" even my five year old nephew knows not to jump to conclusions till you've seen the last frame of a movie. Dude have you been missing all the gems that Marvel movies keep for the very end of the movie? -the introduction of Samuel L Jackson at the end of Iron Man 1; Magneto regaining his powers at the end of in Xmen2 (I think its x2, atleast its the one where he loses his powers and that ending was breathtaking); X men3, wherein Charles supposedly dies, ends with a patient waking up from a coma and speaking in Charles's voice.Gems! Absolute gems...and I could go on, Iron Man 2 gives a clip that introduces Thor. Then Thor ends with ohmygodyoujusthavetoseeit.)
(b)and I will admit that I was about to list this first - why not wait for the movie to fade to black before leaving, I mean if a person pays for a cinema ticket why would they cheat themselves of even a minute of moving images?
(Okay, now that the mercenary side of me has surfaced, I've clamed down a bit. And it occurs to me that you should watch Rab Ne bana de Jodi again if you didnt sit through the images during the ending - without those pictures and words, the movie is incomplete. Ofcourse if you never saw it, then check it out. I'm not a fan of SRK but Rab... is a movie I'd even recommend to people who dont like Indian films. Also revisit Slumdog Millionaire if you missed the "Jai Ho" ending to the movie, coz without that you're missing out on that upbeat, optimistic, yellow-butterflies-in-my-stomach feeling that everyone else felt. In fact I reckon that the West is so unused to that feeling that this end song alone propelled this movie to its Oscar glory. Without Jai Ho you'd be walking out of the cinema theatre thinking of all the very disturbing violence in the movie, instead what happened? Every Tom, Dick and Sally rushed to flood YouTube with vids of them doing the very weird basketball-dribbling choreography.)
PS: Damn, I'm copyrighting that phrase - "yellow-butterflies-in-my-stomach feeling".
PPS: I seriously need to get a life...
Agree, but I doubt if Natasha was really having a relationship with that guy. It's kind of ambiguous, yes, because you can see her yelling at Abhay, and dancing with him too.
shareI dont think it was about the girl. They just wanted to be brave and complete the race.
shareAccording to me the director just wanted to show that trio has conquered their fears and wanted to live life fearless thts y they opt for facing the challenge and complete the race in slowmotion with sum good lines in the background
shareyes its as simple as that...
they were fearless in the end, they had broken their shell and were living life fully....

That's what I thought too. Instead of playing it safe, they confronted the challenge head-on.
