The movie “Kho Gaye Hum Kahan” isn’t about Ahana, Imaad and Neil, it’s about us.
Warning: I might give you some spoilers for this one. I watched this movie today on Netflix, starring Adarsh Gourav, Siddhant Chaturvedi, and Ananya Panday. I won’t get into the details and dissect each and every scene of the movie because I don’t have that skill. I just watch movies to find inspiration and get insights that I can further write on.
The movie highlighted various aspects of our lives, like the intense frustration we get from constantly getting belittled, the lack of confidence, masking a lot of traumas from our childhood, changing ourselves to suit others, and a lot more. It was kind of all over the place, but it hit the spots it had too. But I also agree that I have an extremely vanilla taste in movies, so don’t come after me.
Five lessons that the movie focused on were:
1) Put your phone down and focus on now. This world has forced us to indulge in the reel life and taken us away from the beauty of real life. We need to make a switch here. We need to see life without any filters or lenses.
2) Take it easy and keep it real. We don’t realize it, but we need very little to be happy. Don’t let social media make you believe otherwise. If you have food, shelter, clothes, people you love and who love you, and a purpose in life, you are already living the dream!
When you come closer to your authentic self, only then can people come close to you. Don’t build walls around people just to shut them out. Meet people, make new friends, and get new perspectives on life.
3) Stop the comparisons. Neither someone is like you, nor do you need to be like someone else. You are unique, and only in the future can you be better than you are now.
4) Be grateful. Say thank you wholeheartedly every single day.
5) Find your tribe, because if you have friends, you won’t crave followers.
Until next time, Adios amigo!
