ABSTRACT

The film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, released in 2011, is about three best friends who go on a road trip across Spain. The film was produced by and stars Farhan Akhtar, who has made several films which portray characters who lead a city-oriented lifestyle. The language in the film is reflective of the code-switching style of Hindi spoken by members of the urban middle-class whose speech is heavily peppered with English words and phrases. The dialogue in this excerpt is from the scenes at the start of the film.
