Ashvita Singh?s take on the ?love story? that audiences are going ga-ga over. Raanjhanaa is good cinema, embellished with towering performances and flamboyant cinematography. Ranjhana wins audience to gross Rs. 31.5 crore worldwide in its opening weekend and is being gloriously christened as ?love story of the year?.
The film, however, seems to have implanted an idea in the minds of audience that it never designed to do in first place. In my analysis, the movie is about a Hindu child/boy/man (Kundan, played by an effervescent Dhanush!) falling for a lovely Muslim girl in the neighbourhood (Zoya, played by dazzling Sonam Kapoor). Soon enough, his love metamorphoses into obsession, turning the girl?s life upside down. Unable to release, Kundan, almost unknowingly jeopardizes the blooming life of Zoya. But needless to say, no crime is without redemption and what follows thereafter is Kundan?s mere act of penance towards the girl he so truly loves. Zoya, alternatively, having lost everything she dearly desired is in no mood to forgive and forget. Her final act against Kundan is easily vindicated owing to losing she suffered (death of fianc�e and career) as a result of a guy she didn?t even love.

For me, it was more of a Zoya?s story, her passion and loyalty towards a man she loved(Abhay Deol). Kundan was just a hounding chapter in her life that left her almost now here .

But not everyone got exactly the same message, sadly. Audiences are going ga-ga over the movie in regards to a Hindu Pundit and his unconditional love for a cold, selfish and manipulative beauty. The truth that an affluent and well educated girl chooses a man of equal calibre over a semi-literate, obsessed lover didn't match the audience. In their mind, the eventual act of Kundan had not been redemption but a ?sacrifice? for an undeserving woman. But what everyone appear to ignore is if it wasn?t for Kundan, none of the would have happened. Only if he had taken the hint and stopped hassling/stalking the poor being, so many lives would have been spared.

One needs to understand that true love is about ?letting go? and not ?doing everything to be with?.

What Zoya did could be considered fair, given her aversion towards the person responsible for her downfall. But romanticizing the character of obsessed suitor and demonising the heroine only because she can?t reciprocate is highly unfair.
