Karan Johar is my favourite Bollywood director.
Shah Rukh Khan is my favourite Bollywood actor.
What do you get when both of them work together?
The best film of the year =)
First, I watched Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, a triangle love story.
Second, I watched Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, a story about family.
Third, I watched Kal Ho Naa Ho, a story about friendship.
Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna is a 2006 movie.
I dunno why I didn't watch it by then.
It's a story about marriage.
The story revolves between 4 peoples:
1) Dev - lives in the States, soccer star, married to Riya. One day he fractures his leg, becomes handicapped and dependent on his wife. Stays home all the time and broods on his bad luck.
2) Rhea - Dev's college sweetheart, successful fashion magazine editor, gave birth to Arjun one year after her marriage. An independant and strong woman.
3) Maya - kindergarten teacher, an orphan who married her childhood buddy Rishi, could not bear any off-springs, but love childrens. Unable to reciprocate Rishi's love because of the lack of feeling towards him.
4) Rishi - Passionate and affectionate husband, loves Maya with all his heart. Has a widowed, wealthy, cheesy dad named Samarjit a.k.a "Sexy Sam".
By chance, the two families of Rishi + Maya and Dev + Rhea met and became friends. Dev becomes suspicious and openly accuse Rhea of having an affair with Rishi. Since their respective marriage was falling apart, they decide to help each other to salvage their marriages, blissfully unaware of what forces of love have in store for them. What starts as a pleasant friendship develops into love and an extramarital affair which soon throws the relations between the two couples into turmoil. Both couples try to fix things around and they patch up. At a dinner get together, Dev tells everyone that he is in love with Maya which once again turn over the page that lead to a death end.
This is a very beautiful movie, with a very heartbreaking story. Many film critics have commented this as Karan's finest work. The screenplay balances between the light moments and dollops of emotions with amazing ease. The success of the movie also depends much on the effectiveness of the casting and the interaction of the actors + actresses.
Summary? = Splendid story + awesome casting + excellent director and production crew + beautiful music
= successful movie
I cried alot watching this movie, and yet this is how things happen in real life.
The story reflects real happenings it is so true that you cannot deny the sadness and pain of it.
