Did You Know Arjun Was Invited by Laila to Morocco? The Removed Scene from ZNMD Goes Viral
Some movies are like old friends—they never fail to cheer us up and provide timeless knowledge. Consider the phenomenal Bollywood film “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.” It’s a film that talks to the soul, helping us to overcome our worries and remember the actual meaning of life. It also exhorts us to “live” each moment to the fullest, free from the stress of the outside world. Many of its followers take comfort in the figure of Arjun (Hrithik Roshan), who was rescued from the murky depths of materialism by the “instructor,” Laila (Katrina Kaif), and who found salvation via deep-sea diving, a symbolic dive into the depths of his worries.
Arjun’s journey from a guy constrained by materialistic aspirations to one who embraces life’s simplicity is very poignant. An emotional transition for the previously materialistic guy, his resolve to put his love for Laila and the people and activities he cherishes above everything else culminates in a commitment to go to Morocco together when their friends’ vacation finishes. What many people may not realize, however, is that Laila—not Arjun—was the one who first planted the notion of Morocco. Startled? You’re not alone.
A “deleted” clip from the film was recently released by user “X” on social media, rekindling curiosity. Here, after Laila’s unexpected visit on the last leg of their voyage in Pamplona, Arjun and Laila have a moving moment by the sea.
Laila playfully teases Arjun about the guys she’s followed, which causes her to pose the crucial question, “Will you come with me to Morocco?” Their very emotional talk takes an unexpected turn. Their deep connection is evident in the moment as their eyes tell volumes.
Viewers have been enthralled by this newly discovered insight inside their connection, which presents a novel viewpoint on their developing relationship.
What do you think of this, then? Does the film’s appeal increase without this sequence, or should it have found a place somewhere in the story?
