I have always felt that the climax of this movie is on of my all time favourites.. and that is why I have watched this movie more than a few times.. each time mainly to enjoy the last half hour or so. From the moment, Jay breaks up with Meghana, then bashes up Sushant at his place and gets jailed. The funniest moments are in the police station between Jay and Inspector Waghmare (fabulous Paresh Rawal!!)
here goes... a series of shootthebrain moments from the climax...
1) Jay's mom of course is aware that Aditi is flying to the US the same night when Jay is taken away by the police while on his way to Aditi's. He has already told his mom that he is going to stop Aditi and confess his love to her. But when Jay is taken away by the police, she starts calling everyone frantically but Aditi. A small shoot the brain moment?? Perhaps one could argue that the mother is obviously worried more about the son's release from lock up instead of thinking of the love of his life going away to the US. It could have atleast been the last call she made.. or atleast a call to one of his friends to pass on the message to aditi??
Never mind, move on, but we will come back to this point later..
2) While in Jail, all Jay wants to do is make a phone call to Aditi and ask her to stay back, not go to the US. Naturally, Waghmare does not allow him, even as he pokes fun at Jay's desperation.
By the time Jai is released with the help of his influential cousins, things have gotten very close.. Aditi would be flying out soon and its going to be a race against time to get to the airport to stop her. Almost a touch and go situation. 10 - 15 minutes back all Jay wanted was to call Aditi once and stop her and then he didnt mind spending the night in jail. thats what he tells waghmare.
But now that he is released, and his cousins are still around, he does not think of calling and making sure she does not go. He chooses to be adventurous?? Even that would have been ok, had the character been like that throughout the story. On the contrary, he is a cool, level headed guy, so it is indeed a shootthebrain moment, to suddenly turn him into an adventurous sort for dramatising the climax
3) contd from point 1, Aditi is on the phone with someone, who is narrating the events of the evening. Who is it?? friends?. Nope. they don't even know what Jay has been upto. The only person who could narrate in detail is Jay's mom. So finally she did make that call to Aditi, by which time it is redundant since Jay already manages to catch up with Aditi.
Notwithstanding that this movie has now featured on this blog, it will continue to be one of my favourites.
