Sure, one can defend it by saying that she has grown out of her previous tomboyish appearance but what drives that change in Anjali, is the question. She is not the sportswear-flaunting Anjali but the Anjali, who has grown her hair longer and is in those understated sarees, feminine and traditional, with just a whiff of her good-old spunk (it comes in one scene).
#KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI PUTLOCKER MOVIE#
The good part is that the first half of the movie makes us empathise with Anjali and doesn't project Anjali in a way, as if she is the problem and that she needs to change.īut in the second-half, we see Anjali, who has changed. Anjali is not shown as someone who is not comfortable in her own skin, thereby bringing to light the vulnerabilities and the validation needed from opposite sex - basically the problems of young adults. It is uneasy to see Anjali changing her wardrobe just to please a man, to fit in, and not be seen for who she is. While we were enjoying the film back then and didn't really analyse it, now we wonder how easily we digested this narrative and society's perception of what kind of clothes make a woman attractive. Anjali does it to catch Rahul's attention but can't and yes, we all felt for her.
Rahul may be the best of pals with Anjali but somewhere he isn't attracted to her, which makes Anjali dress up like Tina on one of the occasions, only to find that she can't pull off a skirt/dress quite like Tina and she ends up being mocked and ridiculed.
A trouble in the paradise! Anjali with her tracksuits and casual clothes cannot compete with Tina, who also becomes her best friend (like Betty and Veronica). As time rolls, Rahul and Tina become the couple while Anjali is left alone (not intentionally though but because of their honeymoon phase of romance) and Anjali also develop feelings for Rahul.
