KABHI ALVIDA NAA KEHNA Alvida kehne se Milne ki ummed khatam ho jaati hai
These are the words which you will remmember when you come out of the hall.
Yes I am talking about this year magnum opus Kabhi Alis vida Na Kehna.I read several reviews on this movie, though the pepole have dejected thi movie because of lack of entertainment factor.
But in my opinion from the movie on this kind of subject we cannot expect any big time entertainment.If you are going to watch BLACK, you have to go with a diffrent mindset for that movie.
And same is the case with KABHI ALVIDA NAA KEHNA. while entering the hall you should not think of a entertainment package from this movie.This movie is based on relationship and that too on broken relationship, so you can understand how the movie will be.
If someone ask me whether I will recommend this movie or not, then I will say If you are in mood of going through a touchy and serious movie, then yes, you can of course go for it.But if you are just going for it to passing your time, then this movie is surely not for you.
On the same time, I will also like to clear that this movie doesn’t create any magic like any other Karan Johar’s movie.Might be beaciase of the subject and seriousness of movie.But one will feel that it’s surely lack the stamp of Karan johar which he showed in K3G, KKHH and Kal Ho Naa Ho.
I wont be writing up the plot this time cause I know you would have read it many times on every movie site and in other review also.
But here is a brief Character sketch from the movie.
Shahrukh Khan as Dev Saran
Overtly sensitive, sharp of tongue and cynical Dev Saran has a rather uneasy relationship with the world owing to an unfortunate mishap that turns his dreams upside down.
He is unable to come to terms with the unfairness of life or his handicap and his bitterness only cripples his mind further. He resents his wife, Rhea’s growing success and in the process ends up hating himself for feeling that way. To make matters worse he ends up turning all his anger towards his loved ones. Under these circumstances, Maya enters his life with her own wounds and together they take on a journey to heal each other…
Preity Zinta as Rhea Saran
Confident, savvy and with a strong sense of right and wrong…
Rhea Saran leads a straight forward life where her promises and expectations are clearly chalked out. Her independence is of prime importance to her and she believes in the importance of material luxuries. There are moments when she realizes that she is not playing the traditional role of a wife or a mother owing to her busy career but she refuses to feel guilty about it and strongly believes in her right to pursue success as much as a man. Her belief in her marriage is strong even during its turbulent phase and she tries every means in her power to save it until she realizes the enormity of the situation and is forced to take a stand…
Abhishek Bachchan as Rishi Talwar
Sophisticated, stylish with a gift of the gab, Rishi Talwar, upcoming public relations professional, has inherited his father’s fun-loving nature and his sense of humor.
While his childlike demeanor is endearing, his volatile reaction to situations often cause his wife, Maya to believe that he is childish. He is patient and loving to Maya but is unable to comprehend her complexity especially when it rears its ugly head in the most intimate moments of their personal relationship. His entire being is devoted to Maya and that’s perhaps why he falls apart when exposed to the harsh truth of his marriage…’
Rani Mukherjee as Maya Talwar
Beautiful, sensitive and a compulsive cleanliness freak…
Maya Talwar compensates for her inability to have children by teaching in a nursery. Her relationship with her husband Rishi is layered with a lot of self-doubt and question. However, while she is ready to discuss and analyze everything small or big, she fights this area of her life with remarkable silence. She is unable to whip up enough passion for Rishi and is disappointed that her love for him does not match her own expectations of what it ought to be. This dilemma pulls her further apart from him thereby causing a strain on their marital life. To add to this complication, she encounters Dev in whom she finds all the ingredients to fire the passion she lacks in her marriage…
Amitabh Bachchan as Samarjit Singh Talwar
Samarjit Singh Talwar a.k.a. Sam is a flamboyant and fun-loving man who believes in living his life to the fullest.
His life revolves around the happiness of his son, Rishi and daughter-in-law, Maya. And despite indulging in all sensual pleasures, Sam does not lose focus on the ground realities of life and beneath his colorful exterior there lies a wise and sensitive parent who dispenses, at times, brutal but practical solutions to his family.
Kirron Kher as Kamaljit Saran
A self-reliant woman with a combination of strong traditional values and a progressive mindset, Kamaljit Saran is an example of a parent who has molded herself to the changing world without losing her roots. While she is a silent spectator to her son, Dev and daughter-in-law Rhea’s changing equations, she does not hesitate to voice her opinion as an elder when required. She is fearless in her decisions and takes a rather progressive stand for her daughter-in-law when the situation worsens…

Some Dialogues from the movie
Kamiyaan khaali tum mei nahi ... mujh mei bhi hai...farak sirf itna hai ki tum rishta todne ki baat karti ho aur mei jodne ki
"Abhi George Bush ke saath breakfast kar ke aa raha hu aur ab madonna ke saath coffe ka programme hai."
"Is ghar mei meri nakabyaabi se bhi badi nakamyaab cheez hai...woh hai hamara rishta...Hamari shaadi".
That was my take on KANK.
PS.
As you all know D:2 promo was aired along with the movie, believe me D:2 seems to be very promising.And these were the words as soon as promo started, "This is going to rock." watch out for the Hrithik’s new look and stunning Aishwarya Rai.
I guess if the movie is as promising as it was in promo, it will beat records set by KRISSH and FANNA.
don’t know about India, but DON promo was also there, and it was good too.
