An (un) impressive Bollywood movie-- Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna

WELL, it was a Saturday morning wasted i would say since the movie had a lot of reviews and we had booked the ticket on the internet for the funrepublic cinemas. there was a lot of effort put in since the booking of tickets was planned long back and getting up early morning on a holiday was itself a task. well with all the efforts we did manage to reach the movie hall and entered the comfortable confines of the cinema.

what unfolded in front of us was a nice comedian in the form of Amitabh Bachchan (albiet a lil sex crazy man) who later tells his real story of his love for his wife. but shah rukh khan was at his worst in the movie. Rani Mukherji did a good job at looking good, wearing those expensive clothes through out and crying the whole time. (must have cost Karan Johar a whole lot to get those glycerine bottles). Priety Zinta's role is a bit confused though. Accolades must be given to Abhishek Bachchan for being a faithful husband and carrying his part very well. good acting on his part though he gets overshadowed slightly by so many actors around. I think its time that Shah Rukh starts doing lesser movies and selects his roles with more care.

the first half of the movie is still bearable with the comedy but the second half and the ending is pathetic. there is no sense of direction and story. i cant imagine couples living apart for few years like this and then getting back just to tell their partners with whom they have annuled the marriage that they are still in love with them and suddenly with their married lovers too. Ohh such a mis- direction . at least turn the story in such a way that its palatable to the generation of today either Indian or if Karan thinks, that indians are not upto the maturity level today, then for the NRI's who would have seen more of this kind of happenings but with lesser time span as is in the movie. if you want to earn money in India , boy, at least you should have given a better ending at least.

the music is reasonably tolerable but nothing like his previous successes. overall on a scale of one to five , i would easily rate it at about one point five only.
thats pretty low for you karan . so try to do a better job next time
