Dasvidaniya employs the common man as it protagonist, symbolized by zilch heroism. Vinay Pathak underplays his character to the same precision with which Amol Palekar played the common man in the 70s and 80s. The irony in the story lies in his name Amar (meaning immortal) as we get to know he has very few days to survive. It’s not about the undying spirit which Anand or Kal Ho Na Ho signified. Amar has lead a life of abstinence and minimalism and wishes to do things he never attempted so far. It reminds more of Jimmy Shergill’s character from Munnabhai MBBS, also subtly mentioned in the film.
Amar follows a practice of making a to-do-list everyday wherein he jots down the 10 most important chores of the day. Being a loser and a loner over it, he ends up speaking to himself (or rather his inner soul) that questions him on his achievements and inspires him to extend his daily to-do-list to a listing of 10 things he would want to do in his lasting lifespan.
This wish-list includes the average aspirations of almost every common man from owning a car, learning to play guitar, getting to hit back at his boss, finding his first crush (Neha Dhupia), going on a foreign trip, meeting his long-lost school friend (Rajat Kapoor), finding love in life, patching up with his younger brother (Gaurav Gera) and things alike.
The simplicity of the film lies in the fact that the items on Amar’s wish-list are very basic and not fairytale abstract. You as much relate with his every day yearnings as much as you connect with his character. One can draw parallels with Morgan Freeman - Jack Nicholson starrer The Bucket List though not tag Dasvidaniya as its remake.
While fulfilling each of his wishes, Amar lives the life he had never imagined before. Each of his wishes branches out into a small subplot where he connects with his brother, buddy or beloved. The story starts, showing the mundane life of the protagonist while he is still alive and ironically becomes exciting as it advances towards his death. Dasvidaniya clearly establishes the difference between surviving and living. Despite dealing with death, the essence of the film is optimistic throughout.......[Movie Review]
