Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
Directed by: Zoya Akhtar
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is a refreshing and vibrant Bollywood film that explores friendship, self-discovery, and the essence of living life to the fullest. Zoya Akhtar directed the film, which features an ensemble cast with Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, and Abhay Deol in the lead roles, supported by Katrina Kaif and Kalki Koechlin.
The story follows Arjun, Imran, and Kabir—three boyhood friends—as they travel throughout Spain for Kabir's bachelor party. Every buddy encounters personal setbacks, which help them face their anxieties, work out old grudges, and see the world from fresh angles. The film gains a distinct attractiveness from the scenic backdrop of Spain, which boasts breathtaking scenery, a vibrant culture, and exhilarating adventure sports.
One of the most memorable scenes is the deep-sea diving sequence where Arjun (Hrithik Roshan) overcomes his fear of water. The scene is beautifully shot, capturing both the breathtaking underwater visuals and the profound realization Arjun experiences about the importance of living in the moment. Hrithik Roshan’s portrayal of a workaholic struggling to let go of his inhibitions is both convincing and relatable. Farhan Akhtar’s witty and poignant performance as Imran adds depth to the narrative, while Abhay Deol as the carefree Kabir balances the trio perfectly.
Overall, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is a well-crafted film that blends humour, emotion, and stunning visuals. I would rate it 4.5 out of 5 stars and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an inspiring and entertaining watch.

Read the passage given below and answer the questions (i), (ii) and (iii) that follow.
| (1) | “Can I see the Manager?” I said, and added solemnly, “Alone.” I don't know why I said “Alone.” “Certainly,” said the accountant and fetched him. | |
| (2) | The Manager was a grave, calm man. I held my fifty-six dollars clutched in a crumpled ball in my pocket. “Are you the Manager?” I asked. God knows I did not doubt it. “Yes,” he said. “Can I see you …. alone?” I asked. |

| (3) | The Manager looked at me in some alarm. He felt that I had an awful secret to reveal. “Come in here,” he said, and led the way to a private room. He turned the key in the lock. “We are safe from interruption here,” he said; “Sit down.” We both sat down and looked at each other. I found no voice to speak. “You are one of Pinkerton’s men, I presume,” he said. |

He had gathered from my mysterious manner that I was a detective. I knew what he was thinking, and it made me worse. |

| (5) | The Manager got up and opened the door. He called to the accountant. “Mr. Montgomery,” he said unkindly loud, “this gentleman is opening an account, he will deposit fifty-six dollars. Good morning.” I rose. A big iron door stood open at the side of the room. “Good morning,” I said, and stepped into the safe. “Come out,” said the Manager coldly and showed me the other way. |

| (6) | I went up to the accountant’s wicket and poked the ball of money at him with a quick convulsive movement as if I were doing a conjuring trick. My face was ghastly pale. “Here,” I said, “deposit it.” The tone of the words seemed to mean, “Let us do this painful thing while the fit is on us.” He took the money and gave it to another clerk. |

| (7) | He made me write the sum on a slip and sign my name in a book. I no longer knew what I was doing. The bank swam before my eyes. “Is it deposited?” I asked in a hollow, vibrating voice. “It is,” said the accountant. “Then I want to draw a cheque.” My idea was to draw out six dollars of it for present use. Someone gave me a chequebook through a wicket and someone else began telling me how to write it out. The people in the bank had the impression that I was an invalid millionaire. I wrote something on the cheque and thrust it in at the clerk. He looked at it. |

| (8) | “What! Are you drawing it all out again?” he asked in surprise. Then I realised that I had written fifty-six instead of six. I was too far gone to reason now. I had a feeling that it was impossible to explain the thing. I had burned my boats. All the clerks had stopped writing to look at me. Reckless with misery, I made a plunge. “Yes, the whole thing.” “You withdraw all your money from the bank?” “Every cent of it.” “Are you not going to deposit anymore?” said the clerk, astonished. “Never.” |

| (9) | An idiot hope struck me that they might think something had insulted me while I was writing the cheque and that I had changed my mind. I made a wretched attempt to look like a man with a fearfully quick temper. | |
| (10) | The clerk prepared to pay the money. “How will you have it?” he said. This question came as a bolt from the blue. “What?” “How will you have it?” “Oh!”— I caught his meaning and answered without even trying to think— “in fifties.” He gave me a fifty-dollar bill. “And the six?” he asked dryly. “In sixes,” I said. He gave it to me and I rushed out. As the big door swung behind me. I caught the echo of a roar of laughter that went up to the ceiling of the bank. Since then, I bank no more. I keep my money in cash in my trousers pocket and my savings in silver dollars in a sock. |
