Kah Ho Na Ho

Mixed up Jargon, no “Love” and no “friendship”


Cry and win what you want.


Luscious locales, Curious Eyes and of course beautiful dresses are always met with anxiety and so the much-awaited movie of the year hit the stall. As an audience who waited for the movie and hogged on the television for the tailors and the songs was the most disheartened seeing it on the big screen.


Shah Rukh khan, he should stop that over acting bait of his coz neither are we interested in seeing him cry nor do we want him to while away our time with his tears. Irony took its best course in movie where Mr. Karan Johar’s protagonist dances, climbs up trees, romances (that is still bearable) and runs on the streets of New York holding his weak heart!! Can somebody tell the producers and directors to include some commonsense in the character and to stop taking the audience for granted because we are tired of being mislead. Aman’s Character needed thought and reason I should rather say it should have been a little closer to life. One more thing that I could not get is why on earth did that man flirt around with the girl when he knew he was dying. Well! The only guess is that How could a hero die without ever falling in love? A commendable performance no doubt, where you made your Heroine fall in love with someone else, I think that’s the art of match making.


Priety Zinta all confused in life, has nothing else to do but to fall in and out of “love” first with Shah Rukh, the other option was Saif. The women who could not laugh in the movie, was just allowed to run around and sulk.


Saif, the poor chap was reduced to a puppet in the whole movie, were Shah Rukh pulled his strings and made him dance to his tune. Once you saw him clinging on to Priety to accept his love and on the other we saw him bending in front of Shah Rukh to find a way out.


In all, Jaya Bachan was the most admired character. Not only did she acted well but also attuned herself to the character. One can relate to her when you talk about the women of this age.


Crying, wailing and sulking Kal Ho Na Ho was the perfect combination of all that. Karan Johar’s depiction of love fails to create any impact on the big screen. The freshness in the movie vanishes when the wailing starts. Although, one cannot or rather should not compare Shah Rukh with Mr. Rajesh Khanna in Anand, the portrayal of a dying man appreciating life and spreading laughter all around was just suited to “Anand” and nobody can match his cadre or platform.
