kal ho naa ho full movie Review

OK, so how is Kal Ho Na Ho, written and produced by Karan Johar and directed by one-time assistant to Johar and Aditya Chopra, Nikhil Advani? It's good. It's certainly better than Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. it's many touching moments, a generous dose of humour (and most of the time it's at the expense of people , spoofs of other films, fat people, eccentricities of certain communities etc etc), stunning cinematography (New York has never looked so awesome, George Bush goes to like it), great performances and good music. In short, it's all the sugarcoated ingredients of a typical Karan Johar film -despite all the cliches - suited largely for the palate of an NRI audience.

About the story: Naina (Preity Zinta) may be a simple, bespectacled girl who leads a reasonably boring life. In fact, she claims she leads a tragic life. Why? Her mother Jennifer (Jaya Bachchan) runs a hotel, which is incurring losses. She features a younger brother who loves basketball but is physically disabled, a younger sister Gia adopted by her mother and therefore the root explanation for all problems consistent with her dadi (Sushma Seth), who successively sings songs with two of her girlfriends during a bid to hook the neighbourhood old man (Dara Singh). Naina's father committed suicide and till half an hour before the film ends, we do not know why? She features a friend though, Rohit (Saif Ali Khan, doing his comic, Dil Chahta Hai number), with whom she attends her evening business management classes and who also thinks Naina can never be happy. But there's one man, Aman Mathur (Shah Rukh Khan) who turns up one fine sunny morning to vary Naina's life. He's the neighbourhood oldie's nephew and has come to remain there together with his mother (Reema Lagoo). Right from scene one among Aman's entry, Naina's life changes for the higher . Aman befriends one and every one but Naina in fact thinks he interferes an excessive amount of in her personal life. From getting himself invited for a dinner at Naina's house to addressing her mother as "Jenny", from helping her kid brother to play basketball to getting Naina drunk and 'disco' during a skimpy top, Aman makes Naina's life go topsy-turvy. He makes her to find out to smile, laugh and accept her life with all its follies. Naturally, the girl had to fall crazy with Aman. But Rohit also has suddenly discovered he's crazy with Naina. Who gets the girl?

OK, as we said earlier Kal Ho Na Ho may be a complete entertainer but we do have a couple of bones to pick! For one we fail to know why it had been necessary to possess ny because the backdrop. We mean, Naina might be one among the Bombay girls. Don't we've single mothers, sadder daughters in Bombay or for that matter in the other a part of the country? on the other hand , we expect we all know the solution . ny lends itself to great visuals, you'll even have the Patels and therefore the Punjabis settled there love your movie with funny tributes to their communities through song and dance. you'll even have 'gay' jokes, which might be more acceptable to the overseas audience. So on then forth.

Also, even after the film has gotten over, we are left with the sensation that Rohit remains not convinced about having had to marry Naina. We mean it is a little an excessive amount of to marry a woman who you recognize isn't getting to recover from her old flame who she's even acknowledged had sacrificed his feelings for her!

Last but not the smallest amount , Jennifer's very, with-it, progressive woman stance looks out of sync when she weeps within the church saying, "My husband wasn't bad, he just made alittle mistake" which is by the way fathering an illegitimate child!

On the plus points is that the music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. Hummable! Director Nikhil Advani leaves his individual sort of shot taking and handling certain key sequences with the requisite amount of candor and sensitivity. The way the film is edited is refreshing and over all it is a paisa vasool film largely for its key players. A jeans-clad Jaya B is as was common great as Naina's silent supporter who flares up occasionally. Saif as Rohit is expectedly good though we wish his character had evolved into a more sensitive, serious being. as an example , the audience hooted when a grey-at-the-sides Rohit appears within the '20 years later' climax scene. Like he says to Naina in one scene, "Tum mujhe kabhi seriously nahin leti". Exactly, Saif's problem. Preity comes into her own as Naina. She fits the character perfectly, making it strong and vulnerable in right measures. And in particular , it's Shah Rukh Khan who gobbles down everyone in view together with his near-perfect performance. Charming and truly sexy, SRK's spirited performance really leaves you both smiling and misty-eyed!
