This is KJo's attempt to give an impression that he wants to make movies with no "Archie" College Settings or crappy "Indian culture" sentiments. <BR/><BR/>Well, what still remains true is that this chickflick is as superfluous it gets and goes further in demonstrating that the house of "Karan Chopra Johar Barjatyas" are totally incapable of producing anything more intelligent than the "Kabhi Humaaare Tumaaare Koun Hain Dil Sanam Mohabbat Na Kehna" movies.<BR/><BR/>Its time KJo confirms the obvious and gets married to SRK and "settles" down with Sindoor on his Ma Huang.

Try imagining living a life with someone whom you don't love. It is easy to live such a life if the spouse is not a good person. But to live a loveless life with someone who loves you so much is very very difficult (given that you have a conscience). It is not enough that one person loves the other, for a relationship or marriage to work, the love has to be from both the sides. Rani's character made one mistake - she agreed to marry someone she knew well, but didn't love. Her mistake was compunded by the fact that this person loved her a lot.<BR/><BR/>About Amitabh and Kirron's characters - I think they made a lot of sense.Prasannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14371422434476217559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1156090152301093802006-08-20T21:39:00.000+05:302006-08-20T21:39:00.000+05:30First of all, marriage is an alliance.

Broken marriage is not end of life. In any case life should be dealt with in steps. <BR/>We are all humans and are prone to various emotions. and there is nothing wrong with it. <BR/>By the way I have not yet watched the movie but saw NDTV fight. Will somebody tell me the conclusions of their discussions? I always think people skirt around the issue and never consolidate their thoughts in such discussions, and that is what happened here too.Manishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01608512595584796282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1156087700748328482006-08-20T20:58:00.000+05:302006-08-20T20:58:00.000+05:30Kabhie Alvida...KehnaaMr.big B, DUDE you ain't fun...Kabhie Alvida...Kehnaa<BR/><BR/>Mr.big B, DUDE you ain't funny ,you ain't funny at all but one thing is for sure your role is real embarrassment for the family audience.Big B is a letdown, not only is his character is over the top but it is very vulgar as well.And God knows whats with his Glasses, they are simply annoying, his relation with Kiron Kher,with them folding hands with each other is I think too wild an imagination (or am I too old fashioned!!!).Mr/Ms.Karan Johar should know that Indian audience is not that advanced.I feel Big B's role was nothing but a joke, a big joke.The film could have easily done without him.One must know that there are certain things which are still not acceptable in our society...no matter how much we ape west,our thinking is not that forward.I feel Karan has taken the jokes too far, considering that he clearly knows his target audience is whole family and not just adults.<BR/><BR/>Preity is plastic and just about manages to fill the screen, please go slow on that makeup babe.<BR/><BR/>Rani again has a very complicated role which she does well in, but somehow I feel Karan was not clear (or sure) about her character, However its hard to imagine that Rani is unhappy with such a doting husband, actually one never gets to know why Rani is unhappy from her marriage, that is one of the biggest flaws in the movie, but that doesn't take away the credit she deserves for enacting this difficult role.<BR/><BR/>Why is SRK and Rani so annoyed with the whole world, but somehow are happy with each other (which we even cant see or feel), is another drawback.<BR/><BR/>I am also not clear about the scene where Rani wants SRK to share her problems " we are travelling in the same boat", she says (both of them were facing similar situations) now thats a bit too hard to digest considering Rani's character sketch, it would have been better if it was the other way around.( SRK saying to Rani)<BR/><BR/>Film is a hit and as usual they are minting money, so whatever we say the purpose is solved.shitijhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02152716719328775261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1156073985144185772006-08-20T17:09:00.000+05:302006-08-20T17:09:00.000+05:30Somewhere towards the end of the movie we hear in ...Somewhere towards the end of the movie we hear in Shahrukh's voice that "the basis of a marriage should be true love, otherwise the marriage is standing on a faulty base and the chances of it breaking are more." I totally agree with it. What do you do when you come across your true love a little too late? Both Maya & Dev were in a marriage that was 'just ok';a marriage based more on understanding than on love. I could totally connect with them. What do you do if you are unable to fall in love with your spouse? Many arranged marriages in India suffer from this problem. It's another thing that the family and society in India form a pressure group that keeps these souls in line. <BR/><BR/>I read somewhere that Karan has been true to the story. I feel that the whole bit where he shows the spouses having the last laugh and Preity going as far as saying that the three year separation between the lovers is the punishment for breaking houses was put there to appease those who might think that Rishi & Rhea were wronged. Batshit! <BR/><BR/>Btw, KANK is a copy of Falling in Love, which stars Meryl Streep & Robert Di Nero.Prasannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14371422434476217559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1156062260843116662006-08-20T13:54:00.000+05:302006-08-20T13:54:00.000+05:30Thousands of words for a worthless film.
