Guruji was describing three different "love"s from three different movies. These were Kareena and Tarun Arora / Shahid Kapoor in Jab We Met, Aishwarya and Abbas / Mammotty in Kandukonden Kandukonden, Aish and Salman / Ajay Devgan in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.
She asked me, what did Ajay Devgan and Mammotty find in Aishwarya in both movies? Well Aish was beautiful, vivacious, romantic and not bitchy. I explained that to men a woman with very good looks, who is not stupid is very acceptable.
She suggested that in all the three movies the heroine fell in love with someone initially and then married someone else who was more appropriate. That the themes were similar.
I disagreed. While chemistry of a very high order existed between Aish and Abbas / Salman, the same chemistry was absent with the men Aish ultimately marries. The love between the husband and wife was mature and had less chemistry and fire.
If we come to Jab We Met while Kareena loved Tarun, it wasn't quite reciprocated by Tarun. The chemistry was absent in this. But even while Kareena was supposedly in love with Tarun, can we not see the chemistry between her and Shahid?
Another thing that struck me was the (absence of) fire between Tabu and Ajit in Kandukonden Kandukonden. It was mature love. Is it difficult to find fire in mature love? Is it a rare phenomenon?
