Baar Baar Dekho is a romantic drama film released in 2016. It is directed by Nitya Mehra. The film stars Sidharth Malhotra as Jai Varma and Katrina Kaif as Diya Kapoor, playing the lead roles.
The movie explores themes of time travel, life choices, and the importance of valuing one’s present. The plot unfolds through a series of time jumps experienced by the protagonist, Jai.
Why did Jai and Diya argue?
As the film begins, Jai, a mathematics professor, and Diya, an artist, are set to get married. However, Jai is hesitant about the marriage as he feels it might impede his career ambitions. This hesitation leads to an argument between the couple on the eve of their wedding.
That night, Jai gets drunk and wakes up in Thailand, finding himself on his honeymoon without any memory of the wedding. He soon realizes that he has jumped forward in time by 10 days.
Confused and shocked, Jai tries to make sense of the situation but before he can, he experiences another time jump. This time, he finds himself two years ahead in the future. Here, he learns that he has a son with Diya but their marriage is suffering. Jai is perplexed and distressed by these glimpses of a future he doesn’t remember living.
The time jumps continue, each leap taking Jai further into his future. He sees various stages of his life: his career progression, the birth of his children, and the gradual deterioration of his marriage with Diya. With each jump, Jai realizes the consequences of his actions and the neglect of his family for his work. He sees Diya eventually leaving him, and his children are growing distant.
One significant jump takes him to a point where his mother passes away, and he is filled with regret for not being there for her. Another leap shows him as an old man, living a lonely life filled with achievements but devoid of love and family. This future devastates Jai, and he yearns for his life with Diya and their family.
Baar Baar Dekho: Did Jai and Diya get back in the end?
The movie’s climax occurs when Jai, now an old man, wakes up on the day of his wedding. He realizes that he has been given a chance to fix his future. Understanding the importance of balancing his personal and professional lives, Jai makes amends. He marries Diya, promising to be a loving husband.
The film ends on a hopeful note, showing Jai and Diya happily married with children. Jai has learned the value of cherishing every moment and the importance of family alongside his career. The time jumps were a journey of self-realization for Jai, teaching him that while one can plan for the future, it is equally important to live in and appreciate the present.
Baar Baar Dekho thus wraps up its narrative by emphasizing the significance of living in the moment and balancing different aspects of life. The film’s ending reinforces the idea that while ambitions and careers are important, they should not come at the cost of personal relationships and moments of joy.
