The 2001 romantic Bollywood drama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham ("Happiness and Tears") proved to be even more successful than Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, the highest-grossing Indian film of all time and one that was also directed by Karan Johar. Starring veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan and wife Jaya, this tells the story of an Indian family who live in palatial comfort but who are riven when the eldest, adopted son Rahul marries Anjali (Kajol) a feisty and attractive woman but whose "lower breeding" causes his father to disapprove of her. Breaking his mother's heart, Rahul moves to Britain with Anjali before younger brother Rohan tries to go after him and end 10 years of estrangement to reunite the family.

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham is packed with contemporary trappings and production values but is in every way a traditional and generic Hindi movie. Those new to Bollywood might be disconcerted by some of the fashion statements or the mixture of drawn-out, lachrymose melodrama and slightly overplayed comedy-romantic interplay between Rahul and Anjali. There are also some scenes around Leicester Square and Westminster that are almost insulting in their stereotyping of hot, swinging London. However, K3G--as it has become affectionately known--is a riot of joyful color, music and choreography (an embarrassing version of "It's Raining Men" is an exception). This is not a crossover movie, perhaps but a sumptuous treat for Bollywood fans. --David Stubbs

Singing, dancing and happy endings- welcome to Bollywood!.......2007-06-23

It's interesting that so many of the reviewers of this movie have Western names. It looks like Bollywood is starting to gain a non-Indian following in America, and why should we be surprised? Bollywood is fun! Unlike most of the dreadful foreign films that art house lemmings go into raptures over, Americans like Bollywood films for their inherent entertainment value, not because some elite of turtleneck-wearing professors or New York film critics discerns genius in the muddled hallucinations of some Italian gasbag. In Bollywood, Americans can enjoy the kinds of movies that Hollywood used to produce, while learning about a different culture. Of course, the main thing we learn about that culture is that Indian people frequently break out into song and perform lavish dance routines in the street, but still, there are fascinating nuggets of cultural education here. Besides that though, the subject matter of Bollywood films have a universal appeal: love and marriage, family problems, tradition and modernity- and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham has those themes in spades, along with some catchy tunes ("Say Shava Shava" for one), spectacular dance numbers and good clean fun. This movie is a bit long, but still a great introduction to Bollywood for non-Indians.

A Treat From Beginning To End.......2006-12-23

Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (translated to: Sometimes there is happiness, sometimes there is sadness) is a story about relationships between parents and children, between husband and wife and between siblings. This movie has a great cast, wonderful songs and a good storyline. The acting across the board is great with Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachan being the stand out stellar performances. The character development is excellent, you can completely identify with the characters. The chemistry between Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol is believable and touching. Kareena Kapoor and Hrithik Roshan's pair is funny and nice also.

The first half of the movie is flashback. The first half of the movie is pretty good overall with a little lull in between. There are some emotional scenes and some funny ones. The second half is perfect. It will make you alternate between laughing out loud or crying in some scenes.

The only criticisms I have with this movie is Johnny Lever is annoying in the first half (he doesn't come in the second half thank goodness) and Kajol overacts at being Punjabi in the first half a little. This movie is like a breath of fresh air after watching "Family Stone" and other American movies where people have sex and/or great drunk or alternately "fall in love" after one meeting and there is no character development or a sense of love on a mental or emotional level. In Bollywood and in Hollywood directors seem to think less character development or the less wholesome a story the better. But in reality after seeing how much people like this movie or wonderful American movies like Secondhand Lions, movie producers and directors should understand that there is still an audience for these kinds of family oriented movies.

One of the best Bollywood films I have seen!.......2006-06-09

I am an avid Bollywood fan, and yes, though that may sound strange (since Bollywood films are typically stereotyped as plotless and pointless), it is who I am and I can't change it. Of course, that doesn't mean I'm not bored by the several, monotonous storylines of "boy-gets-girl". Of course, there are always a few exceptions that stand out from the typical trend. Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham is a shining example. Karan Johar's direction is truly amazing, and the acting is unbeatable. If Johar had cast anybody else to play any of the characters in this film, I doubt it would have been the same. That doesn't mean the film relies heavily on acting. The plot and direction individually are enough to carry the film through. The cinematography is first-rate, and each camera angle seems to have a special, radiant beauty. Overall, a noble endeavor that has resulted in an awesome film. No wonder it was such a big success!

National Geographic said it best when they said, "Shah Rukh Khan is God" (Feb 2005 issue).......2006-06-08

I have watched this movie at least a million times,and I still think it's perfect. Maybe that's one of the great things about Bollywood. There's literally something for everybody in just about every movie, but none more so than this one.

If you are new to Bollywood, you must watch the Holy Trinity, in the following order, and I promise you will be hooked for life. First, DDLJ, or Diwale Dulhania de la Jayenge, or whatever it is. It is the most popular film in the history of the world, and that's a fact. That one stars the same couple as in this film, and there is absolutely no point ever discussing on-screen chemistry after you have seen Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol together. They are--why mince words? perfect. Then you must see Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. You will catch some cool references to DDLJ, and you will see a sexier and more mature Kajol, and SRK is quite different than in DDLJ--he is thinner, more mature, and much handsomer, though he is pretty insufferable in the first part of the movie.

That's another point I'd like to make about Bollywood movies for you non-Desi newcomers to the fold. Each movie is really two movies: there is the fluff in the first half, and then things really get going in the second half. Remember this when you are ready to pull the plug halfway through the first half. Fast forward through the unbearable parts but stay with it. Things are going to get better. Much. Much. Better.

Anyway, turning to the movie at hand, KKKG: Having watched the previous two SRK-Kads starrers, you can now fully appreciate the musical references to KKHH and even DDLJ. But that's just one of the treats in store for you. This movie is indescribably rich and beautiful on so many levels. Don't miss it. It makes a great family entertainment, too--nothing anyone could find remotely objectionable. Everyone I've forced to watch it has without fail become hooked for life just like I am. Like the greatest works of art, you will be changed forever after you see it. Before I discovered these three films, I pretty much hated movies, but now I can honestly say K3G is my favorite movie of all time!

Another Great Bollywood Movie.......2006-04-13

I must agree with the others on this one. This is a great movie. The songs were nice. The storyline was good. The acting was great. And now i understand why Shah Khan is loved and fantasized about by his female fans. That is a sexy man...the lips...the eyes....the looks....he's just hott. Hrithik is gorgeous...love him to death...but i must say, Shah Khan is my 2nd favor Bollywood actor thus far..and he does great acting in my book.
One thing i thought was odd about this movie was that when Rahul left, he LEFT. He removed himself not only from his parents' life, but also his younger brother. I mean, c'mon...Rahul, you coudl have written him a letter or something, keep him up to speed...it's your younger brother...and as for his parents'...i could understand why he did what he did cuz his dad was really harsh, but his mom gave her blessing...she was not in the quarrel at all, but Rahul made everyone suffer because of his father. And why didn't the parents try to contact him...why did it take the younger bro to patch things up? The mother could have, easily. But she allowed the father to keep her from her son which i didn't understand at all. Is this reflective of Indian culture, in the sense that a wife sticks by her husband and lives by his decision? And if that's the case, the husband shouldn't have been that damn prideful. And why didn't Rahul notice his brother...even after what, 10 years...in reality, unless you've had some MAJOR change...you will recognize your family member (even if they lost weight)...but of course, if he recognized his brother, the movie wouldn't have been long at all. So, yes, I think this is a good film. Loved it. Suggest you watch it as well. If not for the storyline, then for the goodlooking Indian men!

Bitter sweet......... Excellent!!!!.......2007-04-19

I don't usually do reviews but I was so impressed that I had to make this my one exception
This was, by far,one of the best Bollywood movies I have seen yet. Here is one where the males far outweighed the females in their delivery of passion and frustration.
Outstanding performances from Shahrukh and Abhishek, two of the most sexiest men in Bollywood.

This is one that will make you want to fall in love all over again.

An added bonus is the soundtrack, especially the hauntingly beautiful Tumhi Dekho Naa, and Mitwa which conveys all the joy newly discovered love can bring.
Overall an excellent movie. I think you will find worth the purchase.

A QUADRILATERAL AT LAST! .......2007-04-11

Such an inordinate number of successful Bollywood films seem to tread the jaded lines of one geometric shape, the triangle--Kuchh Kucch Hota Hai, Dil To Paagal Hai, Saajan, Kal Ho Na Ho, Parineeta, ad infinitum--that one could be forgiven for wanting to hand the industry a Camlin compass box.

Not to worry. Karan Johar, the under-30 Star Director (as they'll have you believe) rips through the shackles of that well-established formula, and offers us this putative "breakthrough" film: a quadrilaterial! Four lead actors, you see, caught ever so helplessly in the web of extra-marital flexibilities. A smart, savvy, young theme, one that showcases the intricacies and challenges of an India of the future.

Right. I hate to prick the bubble, but this flapdoodle is anything but. Notwithstanding the familiar picnics that we've seen in Sooraj Barjatya flicks (polygons?), KANK's problem is not with the moral indignations that ultra-conservatives may have with its theme. Sure, attractions beyond ill-conceived and hastily-arranged marriages are a reality. Who, having enjoyed an orange, would nevermore want an apple?

But where the film comes up short, very short, is in its sheer lack of sensibility with the subject matter for grown-ups. Like a lumpy soup in a cheap restaurant where the chef couldn't decide quite how much to put in, of what, KANK never quite makes up its mind about being a sincere film exploring a sincere theme, or a mass market slapstick, leaping instead from the frivolous to the utterly idiotic.

We see a couple of couples make what we're supposed to believe is an honest endeavor at a platonic relationship. A When-Harry-Met-Sally exploration of male-female bonds ensues. Love gratified is love satisfied, and love satisfied is indifference begun. But only the married folk in this fairy tale complete that circle, not these well-meaning friends with their thinly-veiled flirtations.

The editing doesn't help either. As the story meanders through the needless song and aerobics, Rani and Abhishek are probably the only two that carry their roles with a semblance of sanity. Big B looks like a buffoon, but he seems to have been working hard at it for a couple of years, so I suppose we must say he's successful. Shahrukh seems to continue to win accolades for his hammy prattle, which ceased to be charming quite a while ago, and is only more egregious in this self-same installment. Kiran Kher joins the jamboree for the sole purpose of bringing sobriety to an erratic old man by oh-so-coyly calling him "boyfriend" (imagine the middle-aged aunties in the audience swooning over in giggles), and because that were clearly not enough, she also manages to bag a couple of gaffes celebrating her derriere from Jullundur.

Bollywood's fascination with New York--the most usual suspect among "foreign cities", after London--continues, with just the kind of bromides we have seen in numerous previous attempts. A cavalcade of overcoats is obligatory (what a uni-seasonal city NY must be) and the Johar version of New York lives, breathes, sleeps in eternal perpetuity right by the Hudson river, because, clearly, that's where everything happens.

For viewers/reviewers gushing with praise because they "truly saw moments from their lives embedded into this film", may I recommend a healthy dose of some of our own gems -- Ijaazat, Silsila, Kaash, Arth, Kabhi Kabhie, Saath Saath (for a dash of the light-hearted), Seema (with Balraj Sahni) and so forth -- where similar themes have been handled with the kind of grace and cadence that the subject calls for, and heck, deserves. If one is truly inclined to expand one's perspective and savor more intelligent films about the cobweb of relationships, I wholeheartedly recommend the likes of The Ice Storm, Eat Drink Man Woman, We Don't Live Here Anymore, Lost in Translation, Heat and Dust, An Ideal Husband, American Beauty, Dangerous Liaisons. And so on.

Barring the soundtrack, which has some hummable melodies, the discerning may do well to skip this three-hour non-entertainment. It is not a breakthrough. It is certainly not a New Experiment. It's a mawkish popcorn thing that's made to appeal to the masses and to overworked engineers named Hari Prasad.

Great stars and great music wasted on a poor script.......2007-04-05

The latest from Bollywood's biggest producer/director, Karan Johar, who once again assembles a stellar cast - Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan Rani Mukerji, Preity Zinta, & Abhishek Bachchan - only to waste them on a dog of a story. As with most Bollywood productions, the film is built around a romance, but this time the protagonists are already married and must suffer - along with audience - boat-fulls of angst before their love can blossom.

The biggest problem with the film is that the audience can't sympathize with the protagonists or their predicament. We never really care what happens to Shah Rukh, who acts more selfish and petulant than the children to whom he acts as soccer coach, and Rani is so overly-sensitive that the least hint of criticism or suspicion causes her to burst into tears. Too many times during this film I found myself wishing that the two would get on with it, run away, and end this mess of a film.

The Indian public ate it up - as did overseas audiences. KANK became the biggest grossing Indian film in Europe and America, beating out Johar's much better 2001 release, Khubi Kushi Kabhi Kham.

About the only thing this film has going for it is the music, a nice collection of genre pieces, including a love ballad (Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna), a pop-rock anthem (Mitwa), and a techno dance number (Where's the Party Tonight?). If you want to make a purchase, get the soundtrack and enjoy some great music, but skip the film.

"I'd come with you but I'm a little tied up...".......2007-02-25

Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (KANK) is quite a thought provoking movie. It's very much different from the conventional Bollywood cinema. I had reservations about this movie at first because most of the reviews I saw were more focused on the star cast and NYC location than the substance of the movie. Having seen the movie, I'm glad I did.

KANK is the tale of two people Dev and Maya (Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukherji) who become friends in an attempt to save their failing marriages. Dev is married to his friend out of college, Rhea (Preity Zinta) and Maya is married to her childhood friend (Abhiseck Bachchan). Dev meets Maya by chance on her wedding day while she was having cold feet. He convinces her to go ahead with the marriage as she may have to wait for the rest of her life for Mr. Right who may never show up.

Both go their separate ways only to meet four years later by chance...again. This time a lot has changed. Both their marriages are heading for the rocks. Dev's situation is made worse because his football career is on hold due to a knee injury while his wife's career is soaring; thereby relegating him to the position of the dependant. Maya's situation is made worse because she is unable to have kids. She feels no spark for her husband plus he won't stop acting like the spoiled kid he is.

At first, both Dev and Maya only poke fun at how miserable the others life is in their marriages. It wasn't until Sam (Amitahb Bachchan) made an innocent comment about being friends with Dev's mother (Kiron Kher) because they've been through the same things thereby understand each other better that both Dev and Maya decide to use the excuse of marital dissatisfaction to be closer together. I suppose this is the point another question is raised. Can an adult male and female be purely friends without letting anything sexual mar the relationship? Did they cross the sexual boundaries or not? What were their spouses' reactions to the friendship? Was separation/divorce an issue? I suppose I'll let you find out in the movie.

The high points for this movie come from the way the script was woven to keep you wondering if they will ever make the decision to go all the way or not. Also from making a fine point between what society expects and what happens in reality.

All the actors did well portraying the different characters but I got the most kicks from watching Amitahb as the guy after anything in skirt. The idea of having him check out Kiron Kher was really adorable. I suppose this is where I have to disagree with the previous reviewer about the director splashing a serious issue with frivolous jokes. I honestly think the comic relieve helped the tone of the movie a lot. Being that majority of the Bollywood cinema audience find the concept that weaves this movie together unconventional, I think the script writer did well to introduce the jokes however subtle to lessen the audience aversion for some of the twists in the movie altogether.

I also think Rani Mukherji stole the show. Portraying the woman who loves two guys a lot, but in different ways was very well done and I don't think anyone else could have pulled it off better. Plus I've seen her in quite a few movies but I never reeeally looked at her until now. Good Lord! Is she gorgeous or what? MOST DEFINITELY!

Great story... different story from where it used tobe.......2007-02-21

Watching this title was something new for me, you will find a different story..unusual from what you had seen before. the love.. and the affairs.
seems that marriage couple after many years they had lives along wont get along too, even if they think they had meet the only one, but turns out it isnt what you looking for. Your love are still out there and you need to come into making some part of mistaken in life which makes you become the miserable person in world.. but at the end you found that love and you will have to make decision whether you are going to fight for it or give up?
great actors... love them and the characters.
love to watch their performance , especially Rani.
also theis music.. love it love it...
