Let me start with why I am writing a review of a movie as old as Kuch Kuch Hota Hai now. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai can be analyzed on two different levels, and toady as I was delving deep into the movie I realized something. I realized that NO Man can be portrayed to be a thinking out of the box when it comes to women and we for one should not try to deny that.
On the Surface: Archie meets bollywood. Yeah that’s what it is.
Archie- Rahul
Veronica-Tina
Betty-Kajol
Mr. Malhotra- Mr Weatherbee
On Thinking: Rahul believes that “Love is Friendship”, how clichéd can one get?! But anyways we should excuse Rahul of his immaturity. Little was he aware that his one liner could put thoughts into the mind of his “bestest” friend, Anjali. Not only does Anjali take the cue, so does the gorgeous Tina. What exactly did Karan think when he made the movie? It beats me. He has tried to show the whole world how boys are merely attracted to the opposite sex by only the looks and the amount of flesh they get to see. Rahul first loves Tina, I can’t see why, other than the fact that she wears tiny clothes. Then later she dies of childbirth and he falls in love with the sari clad Anjali who in college could not carry herself in a skirt and khol eyes! All that I see here is a boy who judges a girl by the beauty she radiates outwardly.
And coming to the “eight”-year-old daughter of Rahul, I must say the daughter is a tad bit too mature for her age. And is nothing but a spoilt brat. And I wonder what Anjali’s mother is upto when she knows that her daughter doe s not love Aman and still is getting her daughter married to him!
On the whole, a movie not worth watching if you are putting to use your head while watching it. Maybe Karan should have used a STATUTORY WARNING : Using head and applying logic is damaging to the three hours you may wish to entertain yourself to.
