The first phone scene from ZNMD (2011)

This is my original review of the movie.


Arjun, Kabir and Imraan have started the road trip, and then Arjun (who is driving) gets a work-related call. Kabir makes a casual remark about why someone can’t throw Arjun’s phone away, and Imraan actually does so. He yanks at Arjun’s phone and throws it away in the midst of his call.

Arjun is furious, and then the fight starts. Unresolved feelings come up, and then Kabir steps in with his candid assessment of the situation, and of how Arjun and Imraan should deal with the situation as adults and not as children.

The way Arjun says that Imraan gets away with situations when he is always acting so cool / so fun to be with, and when he insists that Imraan has to apologise till the time the apology doesn’t stem from his heart is beautiful to watch.

Arjun's real demand from Imraan was a sincere apology and an acknowledgement of the cracks in their friendship. The fact that he is girlfriend-less or phone-less isn't as bothersome.

Nice going, Hrithik.
