In Goa, Makrand Kamati, a crime boss along with his henchmen, kidnaps a girl at the beach and turning her into a slave for sale after injecting opium into her. When a cop named Madhusudhan catches the slaves and drug racket, Makarand and his henchman interfere with him while speaking to the media, where they injure Madhusudhan and turn him into an immobile person. A year later, Varun is a hippie vagabond wandering all over the world. He lost his parents in his childhood when he was in USA. Calling himself a free soul, Varun never believes in relationships and earns his living by working in part-time jobs in a classified advertising website named Craigslist and rests at nights on the roads with some kitchen equipment to cook food.
At Spain, Varun comes across an Indian named Hayathi, who arrived to Spain to meet her friend Priya. In order to capture her attention, Varun pretends to suffer with a heart attack and later takes her phone number, but doesn't learn her name. Hayathi came to Spain to convince Priya's father, ISKCON Ramana, a staunch Krishna devotee who hates love marriages to accept her relationship with Haridas, an African musician. After much chasing and teasing, Varun asks Hayathi to give him a kiss, for which she slaps him. Due to this, Varun keeps a stipulation that if he makes Ramana accept the marriage of the lovers, Hayathi has to kiss him. Varun finally wins the challenge and Hayathi has to kiss him as per the bet.
On a separate note, Varun also exposes Makarand's drug racket and thrashes Makarand's men Ammu and others at the arena. After this, Varun and Hayathi kiss for a one hour duration, but the kiss had a condition from Hayathi. When Varun asks for the condition, Hayathi tells that Varun should never meet her at any cost as she is heartbroken since she was madly in love with Varun, but he has no belief in relationships. Varun leaves for Romania, where he meets a girl Chitrangada, who has a similar mindset. After spending time with Chitrangada, Varun realizes that he is indeed in love with Hayathi. After getting a strong moral support from Chitrangada, Varun desperately goes to Priya's house, where he finds a slip in which it is written that Hayathi is in Goa.
Varun reaches Goa with the help of a Rajinikanth fan, a mobile food selling trader, where he tracks down Hayathi and meets her, but he faces a strong rejection from Hayati. Varun desperately tries to speak with her, but Makarand, Ammu and his men arrive and intervene, saying that Hayathi is Makarand's would-be wife. It is revealed that Hayati is Madhusudhan's daughter, and in order to meet the expenses of her father's medication, Hayathi accepts the marriage with Makarand, without knowing the fact that Makarand was the reason behind her father's hospitalization. Varun kills Ammu and talks with Makarand as he discovers this and slaps Hayathi for hiding the reason to part with him. She replies that her problems would ruin Varun's happiness which he enjoys as a free soul.
The Times of India gave 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "The cinematography and music is what makes it seem much better than it really is. The visuals are breathtakingly beautiful. ... you'll be fine as long as you don't try to make sense of it all."[4] Sridhar Vivan of Bangalore Mirror wrote "If you are watching this film, then you can be sure of not getting a heart attack though you may be at the risk of having a headache. We really wonder if it's the same Puri Jagannadh who came up with a film like Heart Attack. Leave the story, there is hardly any comedy despite Ali trying his routine comedy strip, the even punch dialogues seem to have gone for a toss."[5]
Oneindia Entertainment gave 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Puri Jagannadh has opted for a routine romance drama, but he has written an engaging screenplay for Heart Attack, which has fare amount of twists and turns to keep you glued on to the screen. The director, who is master in making formulaic movies, managed to include commercial ingredients like romance, action, comedy, dialogues and family drama, which will definitely impress all classes of audience."[6] IndiaGlitz wrote "Heart Attack hit the screens as a favorite this season. The film doesn't disappoint and lives up to the expectations. An entertaining youthful romantic-comedy with loads of action."[7]
In that one, Don Vito (Marlon Brando) is shown playing in his massive garden with his grandson. Much of this scene is so natural, the little boy too young to give a real performance, and therefore the audience is forced to conclude that he and Brando are really frolicking among the orange plants. Brando, who was only 47 at the time of filming, is, of course, superb; he effortlessly projects the stumbling, hunched movements of a man several decades older. Then you can see the disorientation of the heart attack set in. I experienced some of this, but I also had quick access to a phone to make an emergency phone call. But the audience can just barely see Don Corleone struggle with the understanding that he has no such access, before he collapses, out of focus, in the background.

When you get scared, you get a rush of adrenaline. Your heart rate increases, your blood pressure rises, and you may even experience chest pains. Is it a heart attack? Mostly likely not. However, extreme fear can cause a heart attack in very rare cases.
Dr. Nash explains that the condition is most common in postmenopausal women, although he has seen it in a variety of demographics. There are other risk factors including a history of neurological conditions (such as epilepsy), or a history of psychiatric disorders (anxiety or depression). Individuals with high blood pressure may be more at risk than others because heart attacks and strokes are related to blood pressure.
Joe Gideon bounces between directing and choreographing a stage show and editing a film about a comedian while his frenetic lifestyle ultimately destroys his health. Fosse himself bounced between directing and choreographing the original stage production of Chicago and editing his biopic on Lenny Bruce and had a heart attack. Even the actor cast as the Lenny stand-in in the film Gideon is editing played Lenny Bruce in the real-life Broadway production of Lenny (which later became the Fosse film of the same name).
While all of these details are so specifically Fosse, I would argue that this movie is at core about a man re-examining his life while coming to terms with his own death. Death: what subject could be more universal?
Art imitates life imitates art in that Bob Fosse made the movie (originally based on a novel called Ending, which was so downbeat he ended up throwing it out and remaking it in his own image) after his own heart attack and subsequent open-heart surgery. The film was released a little less than eight years before his final, fatal heart attack, so the film not only predicted his death, but his heart attacks poetically bookend it.
All of this seems to be a window into the way Fosse lived and the world that he breathed in for most of his life. If a filmmaker can never ultimately escape their own point of view, Fosse seems to embrace his wholeheartedly.
I asked Dr. Ruchi Kapoor, University of Washington cardiologist and president of the Puget Sound chapter of the American Heart Association, if TV and movies send the wrong message about heart attacks.
At the end of The Notebook, we see Allie and Noah dead together holding each other's hands. I think that Noah had been trying for a couple of times to let Allie remember everything permanently. But the expected "miracle" did not happen a single time, and every time she lost everything. Now my question is how did they die together? As this was not the first time Allie forgot everything, I don't believe it was a serious physical problem that can cause death. Apparently, Noah was also not sick, although he got a heart attack. But I believe it was out of his sorrow for again losing her. He was there to help Allie. So how come they died together? Did they commit suicide?
There is no mention of them committing suicide. The whole premise of the end of the film is that Allie remembered everything and that she and Noah died together at the same time because their love was so strong.
Allie asks Noah if he thinks their love is so strong that it can grant miracles and he says yes, which is proven by her memory returning against all odds. She then asks if their love is so strong that it could take them away together, which would be another miracle. Their dying in the next scene shows that their love was so strong that it granted the miracle of them dying together. They didn't commit suicide and there was no medical problem, it was just a miracle. It's a really cheesy plotline, but that's what was intended.
No, they didn't commit suicide. They just died together. In a scene before that, Allie askes Noah if their love has the power to grant miracles, and Noah tells her yes. She also asks him if their love can take them away together (die together). So they just wanted to imply that their love was so strong that they died together. Although, in the original novel, on which the movie is based, only Allie dies and Noah continues to live at the nursing home. It also has a sequel called "The Wedding".
